Gaza: The work continues Ocotber 2025
Following the ceasefire, Gaza begins to rebuild. Amos Trust continues providing aid, medical care, trauma support and education while demanding lasting justice for Palestine.
It was the year of lockdown, of finding new ways to engage, to tell stories and to fundraise. As we look ahead to 2021, we’re going to first look back at the year we’ve just left behind — a year of creative fundraising and emergency appeals, of presenting webinars and publishing books, of cementing old friendships and fostering new ones. This is the Amos staff team’s review of 2020.

El Profe: Gilberto Aguirre from CEPAD in Nicaragua with Katie Hagley from Amos Trust — March 2020
Sneaking in a trip to Nicaragua with some of our fabulous supporters just before the world changed and we went into full lockdown was a real highlight for me. Some of us were seasoned visitors and supporters of CEPAD whilst others came fresh to our work in Nicaragua.
The trip was a wonderful opportunity to see the progress made by the seven communities we have supported in the last five years and to meet with old friends and have the chance to visit one of the new communities we will support moving forwards. A time of warmth both in temperature and welcome. Bitter sweet now in the knowledge that it was the last opportunity we had to spend time with our friend Gilberto Aguirre, El Profe.
Just Walk Again
The amazing response of Amos supporters to Just Walk Again. It was wonderful to see the photos coming flooding in of people walking wherever they could, be it 5 miles or 500, in solidarity with Palestinians. Solvitur ambulando indeed.

Massive Attack, Raja Shehadeh, Sami Tamimi, Zena Kazeme, Ahmed Masoud, Justin Butcher etc — so many of my favourite people have either worked alongside us or given us permission to use their work this year. I hope that we have done them all justice.

Our partner in Gaza, Al Alhi Arab Hospital, is now running as an emergency centre undertaking 20-35 operations a day with 150 inpatients. It is now the only outpatient hospital and general medical facility serving a vast part of Gaza City. Read our full Al Ahli Hospital update.
“In the past year, I have lost many of the tangible parts of my memories — the people and places and things that helped me remember. Every destroyed house becomes a kind of album, filled not with photos but with real people, the dead pressed between its pages.” Read our latest Gaza update with news of our partners, Al Ahli Hospital, DSPR, the Gaza Sunbirds and We Are Not Numbers.
“We, the undersigned organisations, call upon global leaders to uphold their legal and moral responsibilities in light of the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion and the UN General Assembly resolution.” Read our shared post about how world leaders must act to end Israel’s unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
