A 75-year-old Italian woman has pledged to donate the entire proceeds from the sale of her centuries-old family home to support children in Gaza through Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières).
Eugenia Granito is selling the 17th-century property in Rocca Cilento, in the southern Italian province of Salerno, with plans to direct all the money raised toward humanitarian assistance for children in Gaza.
"Everything I receive from the sale of this house will go to Doctors Without Borders for the children of Gaza," Granito said.
She expressed hope that the donation could help fund the construction of a hospital or another medical facility, adding that she wanted to help ensure that children in Gaza "stop dying."
The historic building dates back to the 17th century and includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph.
The chapel was documented in 1751 during a pastoral visit by a bishop, reflecting the property's long-standing historical and religious significance.
Granito's decision to dedicate the proceeds to Gaza comes as children continue to face severe humanitarian and medical challenges amid the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip.
