Music For Change Recordings proudly presents "Music For Palestine", a 23-track various artists compilation raising money for Doctors Without Borders' humanitarian efforts in Palestine. Artists from around the world have kindly donated original tracks to the release, covering a range of styles including techno, electro, jungle, and leftfield bass music. The full compilation is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp (link in the comments), with a full release scheduled for April 5th, 2024 to coincide with Bandcamp Friday (individual tracks can be purchased at this time).
After more than five months of war, Israeli forces’ unrelenting, indiscriminate strikes have reduced much of Gaza to rubble. More than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and over 74,000 wounded, and thousands are estimated to be buried under the wreckage. Three-quarters of the population—1.7 million people—have been forcibly displaced by this war, the majority crammed into the south. Water and food are scarce. Essential supplies like fuel and electricity are scant. And while the threat of disease and starvation grows, and the bombardment continues, lifesaving health care is increasingly inaccessible. The war has turned Gaza’s chronic humanitarian crisis into a catastrophe.
Doctors Without Borders are doing extremely important work in Gaza. Their teams provide a range of essential medical services including surgical care, wound and burn care, post-partum care, physiotherapy, mental health support, vaccination, and outpatient consultations.
Many of the hospitals MSF supports throughout Gaza have been hit or subjected to evacuation orders that put the lives of patients and staff at risk, meaning their teams are continually adapting to extremely volatile conditions on the ground. They have responded to this situation by opening mobile clinics, donating first-aid kits, hygiene kits, and food parcels to displaced Palestinians, and training volunteer paramedics in emergency responding and trauma care.
