Irish actress Nicola Coughlan has spearheaded an impressive fundraising campaign, generating approximately £1.01 million (equivalent to around $1.2 million) for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) through her social media platforms and outreach endeavors.
Expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response to her fundraiser, Nicola Coughlan took to her Instagram story, acknowledging the generosity of those who contributed and urging continued support for the cause.
According to the PCRF, Coughlan’s initiative garnered donations from an astounding 82,794 contributors, including the actress herself. The outpouring of global solidarity has enabled the organization to deliver vital assistance such as food, water, clothing, medical care, and more to children in the Middle East region.

Additionally, her family’s residency in Jerusalem during the late 1970s has deepened her sense of responsibility and empathy towards the region.
Continuing her philanthropic endeavors, Coughlan maintains an ongoing fundraiser on her Instagram for Medical Aid for Palestine, encouraging her followers to donate or share the fundraiser to make a meaningful contribution to those in need.
