Amos Trust believes that another world is possible, a world where justice flows, the silenced are heard and no one is forgotten. We work to challenge injustice, restore rights and create hope.
We work with vibrant grass-roots partners around the world who have unique local experience, expertise and connections — developing local solutions to global issues. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
As we launch this appeal, the Israeli bombardment of Gaza has left 119 people dead and over 830 injured. There is no doubt that these figures will rise over the coming days — especially the number of people seriously injured. Our long-term partners in Gaza, Al Ahli Hospital and NECC, are providing emergency support to all who need it. We want to give them our full support at this critical time. Please help.
Join us as our friend Sami Awad from Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem updates us on the current situation in Palestine. As the situation in East Jerusalem and Gaza continues to escalate, join us when Sami will be in discussion with Amos director Chris Rose, Charlotte Marshall from Sabeel-Kairos and Jess Foster. Full details.
“In Europe, if you mention the word apartheid in South Africa almost everyone expresses their disagreement with it and how much they have been against it. If you mention Black Lives Matter in the UK, almost everyone is supportive of the civil right movement. But when it comes to us Palestinians, there’s only silence.” Ahmed Masoud writes about the current situation in East Jerusalem.
“Despite a signed agreement outlining the Palestinians right to live there, these residents of Sheikh Jarrah have recently received a number of eviction orders, so that their homes can be given over to Jewish Israeli citizens who claim historic ownership of the land.” Ibrahim Abul-Essad writes about Jerusalem’s ongoing catastrophe.
“Ambulances are queuing up for hours, with seriously ill Covid-19 patients waiting for beds to be admitted. While waiting they are supported with oxygen in the ambulance. Sometimes there is not enough oxygen available.” Paul Sunder Singh from Karunalaya in India writes about the current situation with Covid-19 in the country.
“India is burning. Coronavirus is spreading throughout the country with renewed and devastating force, as new daily cases, at the time of writing, surpass 360,000, and the total death toll passes the grim milestone of 200,000. Funeral pyres are burning in car parks, on pavements and beside rivers, as crematoriums struggle to cope with the influx of the dead.” Karin Joseph writes about the current situation in India.
