Save a Life, Save All Humanity--Take a Life, Kill All Humanity

 Freedom and better life for the people in Palestine. They need all our help to survive. 

Restrictions on movement are an everyday irritant in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Apart from tedious and humiliating searches at checkpoints, residents never know for sure how long their journeys will take or whether they can be made at all. But in a medical emergency these restrictions can be a matter of life or death.  10 percent of pregnant Palestinian women were delayed at checkpoints while travelling to hospital to give birth. One result has been a dramatic increase in the number of home births, with women preferring to avoid road trips while in labor for fear of not being able to reach the hospital in time.

 

This is a crime against humanity!


More than 60 years of conflict and a brutal military occupation have resulted in deepening poverty throughout the West Bank and Gaza. Many Palestinian children live in an environment of violence, fear and limited horizons.

 

The daily realities of life – families losing their homes and land; the collective punishment of Gaza’s civilians by a blockade that’s lasted more than three years; restrictions that deny ordinary Palestinians their fundamental freedoms; and the fear that children traumatised by war feel when they hear a loud noise – demand that we do everything in our power to give Palestinian children a better chance in life. 

 

  • More than 300,000 people are at risk of having their homes demolished by the Israeli authorities. 
  • More than a year after the military offensive in Gaza, an estimated 90% of children say they are still afraid, and many do not have health care or enough to eat.
  • In 2010, we reached nearly 50,000 children.
  • We support families at risk of displacement, provide children with education and healthcare, advocate for children’s rights and respond to emergencies.

 


According to Hassan Saifi, a representative of the ministry for religious affairs in Gaza, a quarter of the Gaza Strip’s 800 mosques were damaged or destroyed in the Israeli attack on Gaza in winter 2008-09.
