The Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR) offers humatarian, psychosocial support and vocational training to the young people of Gaza — the innocent victims of four wars since 2009 — giving them hope for the future.
DSPR
(Also known as NECC)
Specialist mentoring and psychological support is given to all students, which are essential to help them complete and succeed in their training courses and develop as individuals and cope with the isolation of everyday life in Gaza.
They currently supervise four training centres – promoting gender equality — including courses in technical/vocational trades (building, carpentry, welding, and other hands-on practical trades), advanced dressmaking, secretarial studies, office management, and English language study. Interest-free educational loans are also made available for those students wishing to complete their studies in Palestinian universities.

Amos Trust has joined nearly 70 civil society organisations in pledging to fight the Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) bill, or anti-boycott bill, as a threat to basic democratic rights. Read the joint statement and the complete list of civil society organisations, including trade unions, charities, NGOs, faith, climate justice and human rights groups.
“Time and time again, our partners in Palestine tell us that knowing we are thinking of them, standing by them, standing up for them, speaking out about their situation and trying to make their voices heard helps them feel seen and gives them some hope even in the darkest hours. With that in mind, we hastily reimagined our annual Run The Wall event.” Full story.
Following two previous virtual tours of Gaza, we were delighted that Enas Ghannam (pictured) and the We Are Not Numbers team were able to join us once more to give us a unique snapshot into life in Gaza. This time, they filmed the preparations of a Gazan wedding and we found out how ‘Summaqya’, the essential food found at all Gazan pre-wedding celebrations, is made. We were privileged to be invited into the lives of those whose celebrations do not fit into the usual news stories about Gaza and to celebrate with them.
Following the success of the On Location online exhibition in 2021, Amos Trust co-curated the Colours of Gaza exhibition of 50 new and established Gazan artists in partnership with the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem. This webinar gave an insight into that exhibition and the art scene in Gaza, the challenges faced and the determination to overcome and capture the colour and hope of Gaza.
Tent of Nations is a farm run by the Nasser family south of Bethlehem. The family are due to hear the outcome of a long-running court case to ratify the ownership of their land. The case has been in the courts for decades and has been delayed numerous times — despite them having all the necessary paperwork. Watch again as we showed a recorded interview with Daoud Nasser and gave an update on the latest news.
For our last webinar in the current season, we discussed the increased pressure to silence those who advocate for Palestinian rights, whether inside Palestine, in the UK, or across Europe. We were joined by those seeking to ensure that this pressure will not be successful, including Wesam Ahmad from Al Haq, Giovanni Fassina, Programme Director from The European Legal Support Centre, and Kat Khoury from PalArt Collective.
