How to Help the Children in Gaza?

The war has been going on since 27Dec last year, but today -again- it hit me hard when I saw the pics of the victims, which many of them are children.
In such times, don't you ever wish to be the ruler of the world, and with just a blink of an eye you can hush away the naughty boys and stop the killings? I learn that everything happens for a reason, but sometimes reality is too hard to chew whilst the so called reason is not yet understood.
And I am no ruler of the world. Far away from the location, what can we actually do? Honestly I have not even a slight interest in putting a sophisticated writing to condemn nor even just to discuss and speculate humbly in this stupid blog about the why's, the history, the politics, the God's chosen people, et cetera. Many more reputable bloggers have done that, I believe. But there must've been many other ways...
Giving our humble pray, contributing in signing petition, or donating is the bare minimum, I guess? This website, savethechildren.org.uk is one of the many websites with good reference that allows you to do that.
If you know any other more ways to help, please share with reply to this post in the comment section or via the "Contact" link to email me directly.
Many thanks friends... love from Angola! :)

As a normal human being and as a mother I could not bare to see this horrible scene. But does someone like you could bare to see this?
This is not about who's right or wrong anymore. This is not about who's the hero and who's the real terrorist anymore. This is not about religions anymore. This is not about fighting over land anymore. This is more about human rights. This is more about saving innocence and hopeless people. This is more about saving innocence children and women. This is more about saving our children and our mothers and sisters. This is more about saving the world from genocide. This is more about saving the world from corrupted hearts. This is more about saving the world from disaster. Therefore, are we still not doing anything? Are we still sit still and not doing anything? Are we just saying words and words but not doing anything? There is still a way...leaders of nations could do something to stop this massacre, I believe.
I am just a humble human being with no political power, no military power, no economic power but with a big heart!
17 days of the attack...905 death tolls including children and women, 4 thousands wounded and this could still continue on if we do not do anything to stop this.
And the question is: are we not doing anything to stop this?
Gosh...you remind me of something, instead of just CONDEMNING and DOING NOTHING except for writing on my blog, there should be other way to help those innocent people, right? THERE MUST BE A WAY....
Thank you for your blog post Gaza children Mbak, I've done my part by clicking the website you've provided. (pssst, I plan to send some money as well!). Again, thank you for being such an inspiration.
