Aid for Humanitarian Causes in Gaza
In a region marred by conflict, the Israeli-Palestinian crisis continues to unfold with devastating consequences. Daphne Chouliaraki Milner's article, accompanied by photographs from Alessandra Sanguinetti, offers a poignant and powerful depiction of life under Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank between 2003 and 2020.
The photographs capture the daily struggles of Palestinians living under the occupation, from the stark reality of destroyed homes to the resilience of children playing amidst the rubble. The images are a testament to the enduring spirit of the people, even in the face of adversity.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified following a "complete siege" imposed by Israel. The number of people killed by Israeli airstrikes has risen above 2,300, with more than 8,700 wounded. Tragically, at least 700 of the dead are Palestinian children. On Friday afternoon, a deadly airstrike killed 70 people, including children, who were trying to flee northern Gaza to the south.
Relief groups have been calling for aid for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but both Egypt and Israel have refused to establish safe corridors or distribute aid, respectively. The Israeli government has also called on civilians living in Gaza City to relocate south, but safe passage for civilians does not currently exist.
Organisations such as Help, SOS-Kinderdörfer, UNICEF, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Palestine Children's Relief Fund, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, ActionAid, and Anera are raising funds for emergency aid for Palestinians in Gaza. These organisations are providing supplies, psychological care, and medical assistance for children and families affected by the conflict.
The UN Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has stated that wars have rules, and civilians, hospitals, schools, clinics, and UN premises cannot be a target. Despite this, the photographs in this article show the devastating impact of Israeli airstrikes on these very institutions.
As the conflict continues, it is essential that the world does not forget the people of Gaza and the West Bank. The photographs in this article serve as a stark reminder of the daily struggles faced by Palestinians living under occupation and the urgent need for humanitarian aid and peace.
