Abstract: Last year, Hani Almadhoun, senior director of philanthropy at UNRWA USA, was thrust into the spotlight of media and government attention as he advocated for the safety of his family and the well-being of his people in Gaza.He engaged in high-level meetings with U.S. officials and made countless media appearances to bring attention to the urgent needs of the people of Gaza.In the face of official inaction, Hani mobilized an informal donor network and with the help of his brother, Chef Mahmoud, and others organized material resources on the ground in Gaza to found the Gaza Soup Kitchen.The Gaza Soup Kitchen provides meals and direct assistance to families in Gaza, including his own, who have been deeply affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis.Despite working for one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Gaza, Hani felt compelled to take direct action to help families facing food insecurity.
