300 Days of War Gaza Strip
The government media office in Gaza has released an update on the main statistics of the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip on day 300 of the war (Thursday 1st August, 2024).
Aida refugee camp lives in the shadow of the Israeli separation wall. The camp is over crowded, with no space for children to play. Young people vent their frustration by throwing stones at Israeli watchtowers and into the neighbouring army camp.
Israeli soldiers respond with tear gas and sound bombs, arresting children and firing rubber bullets and live ammunition.
“Young people in Aida Camp believe it is normal to throw stones, to inhale tear gas, to hide from soldiers but this is not normal. We have to let them see what normal life is and to know what they should aspire to.” Abdelfattah Abusrour, Director of Alrowwad Centre for Culture & Arts.
Amos partner, Alrowwad teaches ‘beautiful resistance’ inspiring young people to channel their activism into creative non-violence using music, dance, drama, film and photography.

Sanitation in Rafah Gaza Strip
940 People. 1 Toilet. That was the situation in the camps in Rafah (at the southern tip of Gaza) among the 1.1 million people sheltering there before Israel invaded on 6th May. Since then, 1 million people have been forced out of this so-called safe area, with 900,000 of them moving to central Gaza onto an even thinner strip of land along the coast, with virtually no facilities.

The Ongoing Food Crisis Gaza Strip
Thanks to your generosity, we’re delivering food aid in Gaza. Since Israel imposed a food embargo on Gaza after the 7th October attack, we have been doing all we can to make sure that people sheltering from the Israeli attacks have been able to have food and water. This is now even more important as the Rafah crossing has been closed to aid supplies for 6 weeks and starvation and food insecurity levels across Gaza continue to rise. Find out more.

Therapeutic Support Gaza Strip
Our partner, NECC/DSPR Gaza, began providing post-traumatic psychotherapeutic support following the 2008 Gaza conflict to children (and their mothers) and young people involved in their youth training programme. Initially considered a temporary programme, they soon realised that in Gaza, trauma is an ongoing condition, leading to the continuous provision of their psychosocial support programmes since then.

We Remember 7th October 2023
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.
