Could direct cash aid from people in affluent countries bring relief to families under siege in Gaza? That’s the question driving musician Garry Jones, husband of Kate Hennessy (granddaughter of Dorothy Day), as he partners with Palestinian poet and journalist Yusuf El-Mbayed and Vermont videographer Michael Hanish to bring essentials like food, clean water, and small comforts to Gazans facing extreme deprivation.
