Kent-based nonprofit will provide health care to Palestinians injured in recent bombings

- Ben Wolford

We spoke with Steve Sosebee, a Kent native and founder of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, a humanitarian NGO that supports children in the Middle East. During the 11-day bombing of Gaza, the Israeli military killed hundreds of civilians and destroyed many soft targets, including the office of the PCRF and the health ministry building across the street. No one was working there at the time, but the organization will have to relocate.

We asked Sosebee about PCRF’s origins, the healthcare conditions in Gaza and the West Bank and his goals for the organization.
