With the humanitarian crisis escalating in Gaza, more than 10,000 people are now estimated to have had one or both limbs amputated.
The Anglo-Jordanian Society (AJS) are asking members of the public across the UK to donate unwanted crutches, sticks or walking aids to help support amputees.
YMCA is proud to support this campaign, with our charity shops acting as donation banks. If you are able to help, please visit your local YMCA shop before Friday 9 August.
