Aramex is organizing an emergency donation campaign, with support from Majid Al Futtaim Group in the UAE, to collect and deliver aid supplies to the afflicted people in Gaza.

Needed materials: First Aid kits, medical emergency supplies, chronic illness medication, personal hygiene products, non-perishable foods, new clothes, tents and blankets.

Please ensure the validity date is at least 6 months for food and at least 1 year for medicine.

Aramex collection bins are located at the following locations:

In the UAE*: Mall of Emirates, Deira City Centre, Sharjah City Centre, and
Ajman City Centre.

In Jordan, at Aramex offices at the following locations:

– Khalil El Salem Street, Khalda – Amman – Mecca Street, building #33, near Social Security Corporation – Amman – Ameer Mohammad Street, Zarqa – Malik Faisal Street, Irbid – Royal Jordanian Building, Haya Roundabout, Aqaba

Aramex Media Bookshops in:

– Khalil El Salem Street, Khalda – Amman – Thaqafa Street, Shmeisani – Amman – Downtown – 9th Sha’aban Street, towards 1st circle – Amman – Shop & Ship, 4th circle – Amman

Act now, every donation counts.

  • Donations in the UAE are accepted starting January 1st until January 11th 2009.

There is a Facebook Group that you can join to spread the word about this campaign. From this group I copied the pictures below, which show young Jordanian volunteers in action at the Aramex logistics center in Al Qastal area. There has been an active drive by the Action Committee and 7iber.com to mobilize volunteers to help sort and pack relief aid.

    Great stuff those 7iber.com people did. I went to cosmo myself and saw the huge participation. There are a number of other ways you can benefit Gaza, business owners can participate by donating a day’s revenue, or employees can donate a day’s wage. Examples to inspire are Hikma pharmaceuticals which donated a huge medical convoy and the employees donated a full working day wage, cycle jordan and Tareef Cycling Club have donated a trip revenue, and Full Cup Coffee Place makes an ongoing donation as they put a side part of there daily revenue for the Gaza relief effort. I even saw one of the Full Cup owners distributing coffee to the volunteers at the Gaza food/clothes drive.

    May God help our brothers in Gaza :(

    We are located in the U.S. and wish to help Gaza. We would like to donate clothing, supplies, etc. but have no way of getting it there quickly and safely. Are there any U.S. groups doing the same thing as you are doing?
