“We ask if any have attended the Great March of Return marches, which have been running for the last 6 months — the tutor laughs and says, of course, they all have.” Chris Rose visited Al Ahli Hospital and NECC in Gaza City in October. Here he writes about how these two Amos partners continue to do such important work under such difficult circumstances.
Orthopaedic surgeon and Gaza Freedom Flotilla participant — the inspirational Dr Swee Ang joined us at Amos Day back in September. Swee was the first female orthopaedic consultant appointed to the St Bartholomew and the Royal London Hospitals and is a co-founder of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). Gill Hewitt spoke to her.
United Nations Universal Children’s Day has been celebrated on 20th November each year, since 1954. UNICEF promotes and coordinates this special day, which aims to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide and to improve children’s welfare. So, 20th November seems as good a day as any to raise awareness of how Palestinian children, living under Israeli occupation, are having their childhood’s stolen. Sarah Baron writes.
Coronavirus first entered the main population in Gaza at the end of August and is now spreading rapidly. The official figures show that in the last two weeks the number of recorded cases in Gaza has tripled with 12,000 new cases and 62 fatalities. However this vastly under-estimates the actual numbers.
This morning we received this press release from Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem as one of 53 civil society groups standing with these Palestinian organisations. “Earlier today we heard about Israeli raids on Palestinian civil society organisations and saw damage done to St Andrew’s Church in Ramallah. UK remains a firm supporter of Palestinian civil society and the important role such organisations play in upholding human rights.” Full details.
“I guess I expected a kind of Ottolenghi-style tour, a pomegranate-seed strewn food odyssey with a bit of politics thrown in. Naïve, ignorant, stupid me. Nothing could have prepared me for the mind-blowing gut-wrenching tragedy that is happening in this region.” Sue Quinn writes about Amos’ Taste of Palestine trip.
We work alongside grass-roots partners in Palestine, South Africa, Nicaragua, Burundi, India and Tanzania.
Reaching children on the streets, addressing their trauma, working with them and their families to reintegrate them into their homes, to realise their rights and recover their future.
Working with local and international peace activists, and partnering with grass-roots projects, to call for a just peace, reconciliation and full equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis.
Addressing the impact of climate change and the causes of extreme poverty, building sustainable rural communities and empowering them to realise their rights.
Bringing people together to meet our partners from around the world, visiting the communities they work in and seeing their projects in action — building solidarity and lasting friendships.
