“My mother taught me how to be able to celebrate Palestine by welcoming guests to have our food. So, cook Palestinian wherever you are, because you are part of preserving that culture and telling the world we exist.” Fadi Kattan

Host a Supper Club for Palestine this Summer
A Delicious Way To Fundraise
Host a Supper Club for Palestine this summer, share Palestinian-inspired dishes and raise funds for Amos Trust’s vital work in Palestine.
Join us as we honour Palestinian culture by bringing friends, family, or your local community together for a meal as an act of cultural resistance that supports our Gaza and West Bank appeal. Whether it’s a cosy dinner at home or a bigger gathering at a venue, it’s a simple but powerful way to stand in solidarity with Palestinians.
How it works:
“Where politics has been the tool for Israel to divide us, culture has been our tool of uniting ourselves... and that’s why it’s really important for the solidarity of our friends to understand that, we are not that self-centric that we want to eat hummus all the time, but it has become a way of resilience and looking inward to ourselves, putting a nice warm jacket on ourselves by keeping participating and celebrating the cultural element of the Palestinians.” Mahmoud Muna — The Bookseller of Jerusalem

On 17th October, 2023, we received the devastating news of a strike on our partner, Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, which tragically claimed hundreds of lives. Remarkably, the hospital reopened the next day to continue treating patients. Read our update on the current situation.
In the future, the ‘7th October’ will hold a place of particular significance. For Israel, it will be remembered because of the loss of 1,200 lives, the brutality of the Hamas attack and the fate of 251 hostages. For Palestinians, and those who have watched the events of the last year unfold, it will be remembered for the destruction and hatred unleashed on Gaza that has left 40,000 dead, 10,000 missing, 100,000 injured, 2 million displaced and so much destruction.
The UK is failing to stand up for international law, as Israeli forces are forcibly transferring civilians from northern Gaza to the south and relentlessly bombarding the area, making it uninhabitable and stripping away the essential conditions that sustain life. Read the full statement from 15 organisations.
Amos has partnered with Al Ahli Baptist Hospital for over 30 years. On 17th October 2023, its diagnostic unit was hit by a shell in the first days of the war. Then on 17th October, Al Ahli was the first hospital in Gaza to be hit by a rocket. Read our blog post about the hospital one year on.
In our first blog post of the year, you will read about some of the occasions in 2024 when we heard about the ‘other world’ taking a breath. Sometimes, it was a long, deep gasp of air, others a rattly asthmatic cough. We are working with some great people on plans for 2025, which we are excited about and look forward to sharing with you soon but for now, below are some of our highlights from 2024.
Since October 2023, Gaza has endured a catastrophic Israeli military assault that has forcibly displaced more than 1.9 million people — nearly 90% of its population. Families are surviving in tents or makeshift shelters with very little protection against the harsh winter.
“In many countries, those who are standing up for Palestinian rights and calling for justice, now find themselves having draconian laws implemented against them, which is why we must not stop.” Chris Rose writes that many Palestinians feel that they are living through the Longest Good Friday.
