An Islamic Relief spokesperson said: “We’ve been working in Palestine since 1997, providing life-saving emergency aid and crucial nutritional, educational and psychosocial support to families in the region. This is only possible with your ongoing support.’
“The siege has sealed off Gaza from the rest of the world, crippling the economy and trapping residents – including a generation of young people who have no hope of prospects for development. After many years of conflict, Palestinians still feel unsafe in their own country. The economy has been damaged by political instability and constant conflict. The siege causes chaos on a daily basis.
“In order for us to rebuild Gaza, it is imperative for us to provide emergency and long-term care for the most vulnerable in the community”.
