CRISIS IN RAFAH AND IN THE GAZA STRIP

UNICEF USA logo https://www.unicefusa.org

Alessio, the escalation of hostilities in Rafah and throughout the Gaza Strip is creating even more suffering for hundreds of thousands of children.

Earlier in May, a long-feared military operation began in Rafah forcing nearly 800,000 people from their homes and into unsafe areas and overburdened camps in Khan Younis Al-Mawasi and Deir al Balah, closing key border crossings and further disrupting the delivery of aid — all while essential resources remain in short supply and the threat of famine looms.

In the face of blockades and insufficient access to border crossings, UNICEF has found ways to reach children in Gaza with critical humanitarian relief. In late April, teams moved more than 98 trucks into the Gaza Strip with emergency supplies including:

  • 6,800 cartons of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food
  • Over 305,000 packs of Ready-to-Use Infant Formula
  • 10,000 cartons of high energy biscuits
  • Over 13,000 hygiene kits
  • Over 56,000 sets of children’s clothes

But with the intensification of violence in Rafah this month, UNICEF and other humanitarian organizations have faced increased challenges to transport assistance into the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian operations that serve as the only lifeline for the whole population across the Strip are being threatened every day.

The situation is dire. If key border crossings are not reopened to fuel and humanitarian supplies, the consequences will be felt almost immediately: life support services for premature babies will lose power; children and families will become dehydrated or consume dangerous water; sewage will overflow and spread disease further.

Simply put, lost time will soon become lost lives.

That’s why UNICEF continues to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and an end to blockades on assistance. At the same time, teams in and around Gaza are focused on doing everything possible to deliver relief and pre-position supplies for children for when more aid is allowed in. No matter how difficult the circumstances, UNICEF will not stop doing all we can to help the children of Gaza.

We are committed to helping meet children’s needs.If you’re able to give, you can scale relief efforts with an emergency gift for children caught in conflict.

Thank you for supporting children,

CRISI A RAFAH E NELLA STRISCIA DI GAZA

Alessio, l’escalation delle ostilità a Rafah e in tutta la Striscia di Gaza sta creando ancora più sofferenza a centinaia di migliaia di bambini.

All’inizio di Maggio, a Rafah è iniziata un’operazione militare a lungo temuta, che ha costretto quasi 800.000 persone a lasciare le proprie case e a rifugiarsi in aree non sicure e campi sovraccarichi ad Al-Mawasi a Khan Younis e Deir al Balah, chiudendo i principali valichi di frontiera e interrompendo ulteriormente la fornitura di aiuti, il tutto mentre le risorse essenziali continuano a scarseggiare e la minaccia della carestia incombe.

Nonostante i blocchi e l’accesso insufficiente ai valichi di frontiera, l’UNICEF ha trovato il modo di raggiungere i bambini di Gaza con aiuti umanitari fondamentali. Alla fine di aprile, le squadre hanno spostato più di 98 camion nella Striscia di Gaza con forniture di emergenza, tra cui:

  • 6.800 cartoni di alimenti terapeutici pronti all’uso
  • Oltre 305.000 confezioni di latte artificiale pronto all’uso
  • 10.000 cartoni di biscotti ad alto contenuto energetico
  • Oltre 13.000 kit igienici
  • Oltre 56.000 set di vestiti per bambini

Ma con l’intensificarsi della violenza a Rafah questo mese, l’UNICEF e altre organizzazioni umanitarie hanno dovuto affrontare crescenti sfide per trasportare assistenza nella Striscia di Gaza. Le operazioni umanitarie che rappresentano l’unica ancora di salvezza per l’intera popolazione della Striscia sono in pericolo.

La situazione è terribile. Se i principali valichi di frontiera non verranno riaperti al carburante e alle forniture umanitarie, le conseguenze si faranno sentire quasi immediatamente: i servizi di supporto vitale per i bambini prematuri perderanno energia; i bambini e le famiglie si disidrateranno o consumeranno acqua pericolosa; le acque reflue traboccheranno e diffonderanno ulteriormente la malattia.

In poche parole, il tempo perduto diventerà presto una vita perduta.

Ecco perché l’UNICEF continua a chiedere un cessate il fuoco umanitario immediato e la fine dei blocchi sugli aiuti. Allo stesso tempo, le squadre a Gaza e nei suoi dintorni sono concentrate nel fare tutto il possibile per fornire aiuti e forniture di pre-posizionamento per i bambini per quando saranno consentiti ulteriori aiuti. Non importa quanto siano difficili le circostanze, l’UNICEF non smetterà di fare tutto il possibile per aiutare i bambini di Gaza.

Ci impegniamo a contribuire a soddisfare le esigenze dei bambini. Se sei in grado di donare, puoi aumentare gli sforzi di soccorso con un regalo di emergenza per i bambini coinvolti in conflitti.

Grazie per sostenere i bambini,

NOWHERE IN GAZA IS SAFE FOR CHILDREN

As the ground assault on Rafah intensifies, 600,000 children remain caught in the crosshairs. UNICEF continues to call for an immediate, sustained ceasefire, the release of all hostages and an end to grave violations against children. A look at some of the ways UNICEF humanitarian assistance is making a difference for children in Gaza.

Children don’t start wars but they pay the highest price

More than 200 days of war have taken an unimaginable toll on children in the Gaza Strip: over 14,000 have been killed and 12,000 wounded; 1,750 are missing. In October, families were ordered to evacuate and take shelter in Rafah, swelling the city’s population from 250,000 to 1.2 million. Now Rafah itself is under attack, placing the lives of 600,000 children at risk. On May 7, Israeli forces seized control of Rafah’s vital border crossing, jeopardizing humanitarian aid deliveries that children rely on for survival.

“Rafah is a city of children,” UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said in a Palais des Nations briefing in Geneva on May 7. “If we define safety – as international humanitarian law says we must – as freedom from bombardment, as well as access to safe water, sufficient food, shelter and medicine – then there is nowhere safe on the Gaza strip to go to.”

UNICEF is fighting malnutrition, shoring up health services, delivering vaccines, improving sanitation and more

UNICEF has been on the ground in Gaza working to meet the urgent needs of Palestinian children and their families, many of whom have been forced out of their homes multiple times in the seven months since the start of the current conflict. Despite the huge difficulties of delivering supplies and services — including continued air strikes, fuel shortages, communications blocks and attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel and facilities — UNICEF continues to make a significant impact on the lives of children living through a terrible conflict.

Nutrition: UNICEF has established more than 80 outpatient treatment centers in Gaza, where children are screened for malnutrition. The acutely malnourished are treated with therapeutic feeding, while those at risk are provided with supplies to prevent acute malnutrition. UNICEF is the sole provider of supplies for treating acute malnutrition in Gaza, procuring and distributing these supplies to partners.

Health care: Malnourished children are more vulnerable to disease; 9 out of 10 children under 5 in Gaza are suffering from one or more infectious diseases; levels of acute watery diarrhea are 20 times higher than typical. Twenty-five of Rafah’s 36 hospitals have been destroyed; the remaining are damaged. UNICEF is working with partners to shore up health services including immunization to prevent the spread of disease. 

Water: UNICEF is repairing damaged waterworks, including desalination plants and water wells, and pressing for the delivery of fuel necessary to operate the generators that power water systems and the trucks that deliver safe water. According to the latest situation report, in the last two weeks of April UNICEF provided 183,000 liters of fuel, which allowed the production of lifesaving water for over 1.6 million people, including over 800,000 children.

Sanitation: The massive displacement of people and vast numbers crowded into southern Gaza have created a waste management crisis. In Rafah, there is approximately one toilet for every 850 people. Despite lack of space and very limited building materials, UNICEF is providing sanitation facilities: 95 percent of all toilets built in southern Gaza since October 2023 were built by UNICEF.

Cash transfers give families purchase power to meet urgent needs; mental heath programs help children recover from trauma

Humanitarian cash transfers: Cash payments help sustain families’ resilience. UNICEF has reached 85,000 vulnerable families in Gaza, including 25,000 people suffering from disabilities, with flexible funds they can use to meet their immediate needs. UNICEF has also delivered cash assistance to 35,000 pregnant and lactating women to help them afford nutritious food so they can have healthy babies, and provided assistance to 700 sanitation workers to clean up solid waste. 

Mental health: Every child in Gaza needs mental health support to address the potential longterm effects of cumulative exposure to violence, the deaths of family members and friends, and injuries. UNICEF is working with partners to provide mental health and psychosocial support for kids, including hospitalized children recovering from their injuries. Giving children the opportunity to just be children for a while, through programs that center on drawing, games and interactive storytelling, helps them recover from the trauma they have experienced. By mid-April, UNICEF had provided psychosocial support services to more than 151,000 children and their caregivers

“Families’ coping capacity has been smashed. They are hanging on — physically and psychologically — by a thread,” said Elder. “We have pleaded and implored countless times; we do so once more. For the children of Rafah. We need a ceasefire, now.”

PALESTINESI A BOLOGNA, ‘SARA’ L’INTIFADA STUDENTESCA’

Annunciata da domenica sera la prima Acampada in piazza, 10 giorni di mobilitazione verso il 15 Maggio, giorno in cui si ricorda la Nakba. Bernini, il 13 Maggio comitato sulla sicurezza con i rettori.

Redazione Ansa BOLOGNA – Maggio 04, 2024 – News

“Per i bambini di Gaza. Per gli studenti di Birzeit”, prima università della Palestina. Dai Campus delle università americane a quelle arabe, europee, anche negli atenei italiani si leva un grido sempre più forte per dire basta “all’oppressione e al genocidio del popolo palestinese”.  Da Bologna il movimento dei Giovani palestinesi si prepara a lanciare “l’Intifada studentesca” con la prima vera “acampada”, le tende di protesta che da domenica sera saranno montate nella piazza della zona universitaria in vista di una mobilitazione ancora più grande per il 15 di maggio, nel giorno del ricordo della Nakba.


Il 13 Maggio invece ci sarà il Comitato per l’ordine e la sicurezza con Bernini, Piantedosi e i rettori proprio sulla situazione negli atenei. “Con la presidente della Crui Giovanna Iannantuoni faremo in modo di capire com’è la situazione nel rapporto con gli studenti nelle università -spiega Bernini- C’è la protesta e c’è anche una frangia molto piccola che va oltre certi limiti, la cosa che mi preoccupa è quando la protesta diventa gruppi che fanno azioni distruttive e reati, sfondano porte, attaccano e forze dell’ordine”.
    “La nostra acampada di domenica – fanno sapere all’ANSA i Giovani palestinesi di Bologna – si inserisce in questo grande quadro di mobilitazione internazionale per far capire che c’è una parte consistente anche del nostro Paese, studentesse, studenti ma non solo, anche docenti e associazioni, persone insomma che hanno come priorità la fine dell’aggressione militare su Gaza, il cessate il fuoco permanente e la fine dell’oppressione a Gaza e nei territori occupati”. “Vogliamo dire che il nostro mondo sta voltando le spalle da 75 anni al diritto del popolo palestinese. Questo è il momento di essere in piazza, vogliamo farlo, coi nostri corpi, le nostre riflessioni, per chiedere che anche le istituzioni lavorino attivamente per la fine del massacro dalla popolazione a Gaza”.

Il ritrovo sarà domenica nel tardo pomeriggio in piazza Scaravilli, cuore della zona universitaria di Bologna, di fronte al Rettorato, dove sarà montato intanto un telo per la proiezione dell’assemblea transnazionale del movimento. Un incontro ibrido, in presenza e da remoto, con collegamenti di studenti da tutta Italia, dalle università americane in questo momento sotto i riflettori e da Birzeit, Palestina. “L’obiettivo è il dialogo, il confronto, raccogliere le testimonianze”.
Contemporaneamente si cominceranno a piantare le prime tende e si trascorrerà la prima notte in piazza.
“Non sappiamo quanti saremo siamo fiduciosi, speriamo di coinvolgere tanti anche nei prossimi giorni. Del resto frequentiamo università in cui ci parlano di diritti umani e in questo noi crediamo profondamente. Crediamo che la nostra attività sia coerente con quello che ci viene insegnato”. Le prossime iniziative saranno discusse e annunciate di volta in volta. Così come in altri atenei italiani sono previsti appuntamenti, incontri, assemblee. Domenica i Giovani palestinesi di Milano terranno un incontro aperto su Zoom, e ci sarà un momento di raccordo con la piazza di Bologna. Venerdì 10 maggio alla Sapienza di Roma (Facoltà di Scienze matematiche fisiche e naturali) è prevista un’assemblea in cui si parlerà anche di boicottaggio di Israele.
Il coordinamento è nazionale in vista della data simbolica del 15 maggio. È il giorno in cui si ricorda Nakba, la “catastrofe”, ovvero l’esodo forzato di circa 700mila arabi palestinesi dai territori occupati da Israele nella prima guerra arabo-israeliana del 1948. “La nostra mobilitazione è verso quella data – dicono da Bologna – Saremo un po’ i primi domenica, e sarà importante mandare un messaggio di fiducia e di ottimismo ai gruppi in tutta Italia”.

PALESTINIANS IN BOLOGNA, ‘IT WILL BE A STUDENT INTIFADA’

The first Acampada in the square was announced on Sunday evening, 10 days of mobilization towards May 15th, the day on which the Nakba is remembered. Bernini, 13 May safety committee with the rectors.

Ansa BOLOGNA editorial team – May 04, 2024 – News

“For the children of Gaza. For the students of Birzeit”, Palestine’s first university. From the campuses of American universities to Arab and European ones, even in Italian universities, an increasingly loud cry is being raised to say enough to “the oppression and genocide of the Palestinian people”. From Bologna the Palestinian Youth movement is preparing to launch the “student intifada” with the first real “acampada”, the protest tents that from Sunday evening will be set up in the square of the university area in view of an even greater mobilization for the May 15th, the day of remembrance of the Nakba.

On May 13th there will be the Committee for order and security with Bernini, Piantedosi and the rectors on the situation in the universities. “With the president of the Crui Giovanna Iannantuoni we will try to understand what the situation is like in the relationship with students in universities – explains Bernini – There is protest and there is also a very small fringe that goes beyond certain limits, the what worries me is when the protest becomes groups that carry out destructive actions and crimes, break down doors, attack the police”.
“Our Sunday camp – the Young Palestinians of Bologna inform ANSA – is part of this great framework of international mobilization to make it clear that there is also a significant part of our country, students, students but not only that, also teachers and associations, in short, people who have as their priority the end of the military aggression on Gaza, the permanent ceasefire and the end of oppression in Gaza and the occupied territories”. “We want to say that our world has been turning its back on the right of the Palestinian people for 75 years. This is the moment to be in the streets, we want to do it, with our bodies, our reflections, to ask that the institutions also work actively for end to the massacre by the population in Gaza”.

The meeting will be late Sunday afternoon in Piazza Scaravilli, the heart of the university area of ​​Bologna, in front of the Rectorate, where in the meantime a tarpaulin will be set up for the projection of the transnational assembly of the movement. A hybrid meeting, in person and remotely, with connections of students from all over Italy, from American universities currently in the spotlight and from Birzeit, Palestine. “The objective is dialogue, discussion, collecting testimonies”.
At the same time, the first tents will begin to be pitched and the first night will be spent in the square.
“We don’t know how many there will be, we are confident, we hope to involve many in the next few days too. After all, we attend universities where they talk to us about human rights and we believe in this deeply. We believe that our activity is consistent with what we are taught”. Upcoming initiatives will be discussed and announced from time to time. Just as in other Italian universities, appointments, meetings and assemblies are planned. On Sunday the Young Palestinians of Milan will hold an open meeting on Zoom, and there will be a moment of connection with the Bologna square. An assembly is scheduled for Friday 10 May at the Sapienza University of Rome (Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences) in which the boycott of Israel will also be discussed.
The coordination is national in view of the symbolic date of May 15th. It is the day on which Nakba is remembered, the “catastrophe”, or the forced exodus of around 700 thousand Palestinian Arabs from the territories occupied by Israel in the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948. “Our mobilization is towards that date – they say from Bologna – We will be somewhat of the first on Sunday, and it will be important to send a message of confidence and optimism to the groups throughout Italy.”

COSA C’ENTRANO LORO CON LA GUERRA?

Ogni volta che andavo a fare il turno la mattina era un pugno nello stomaco trovarsi di fronte questa enorme quantità di bimbi ricoverati e pensavo ‘ma cosa c’entrano loro con la guerra?’. Non c’entrano nulla, però erano feriti.”

Inizia così il racconto di Giuseppe, chirurgo italiano entrato a Gaza lo scorso dicembre.

GRAZIE

A nome del nostro staff a Gaza e di ogni persona a cui salvi la vita oggi.

Prendiamo in prestito le sue parole Alessio per provare a raccontarti l’inferno di Gaza. Come si lavora in un ospedale in cui manca tutto? Dove si dorme la notte? Quali suoni accompagnano le giornate dei pazienti e dello staff?

Giuseppe ha lavorato nell’ospedale di Al-Aqsa, 250 letti per 680 persone ricoverate, 4 su 10 erano bambini. Ogni spazio era sfruttato per metterci i pazienti: corridoi, bagni, sgabuzzini, scale. I materassi erano ovunque, le scorte mediche pochissime.

Non aggiungiamo altro, lasciamo che siano la sua voce e la sua emozione a parlarti in questa breve testimonianza ►
Al senso di impotenza, alla rabbia e al dolore che questa guerra ci fa provare ti chiediamo di rispondere con tutto l’aiuto possibile.

A Gaza, come in altri luoghi in guerra, è la tua donazione che ci permette di curare le ferite di chi ha più bisogno. Grazie a te non ci arrendiamo e proviamo in tutti i modi possibili a salvare ogni giorno delle vite in più.

Grazie per essere al nostro fianco.

WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH THE WAR?

“Every time I went to work the shift in the morning it was a punch in the stomach to be faced with this enormous amount of hospitalized children and I thought ‘but what do they have to do with the war?‘. They had nothing to do with it, but they were injured.”

Thus begins the story of Giuseppe, an Italian surgeon who entered Gaza last December.

We borrow his words Alessio to try to tell you about the hell of Gaza. How do you work in a hospital where everything is missing? Where do you sleep at night? What sounds accompany the days of patients and staff?

Giuseppe worked in Al-Aqsa hospital, 250 beds for 680 people hospitalized, 4 out of 10 were children. Every space was used to accommodate patients: corridors, bathrooms, closets, stairs. Mattresses were everywhere, medical supplies were very few.

Let’s not add anything else, let’s let his voice and his emotion speak to you in this short testimony ►
We ask you to respond to the sense of helplessness, anger and pain that this war makes us feel with all the help possible.

In Gaza, as in other places at war, it’s your donation that allows us to heal the wounds of those who need it most. Thanks to you we don’t give up and we try in every possible way to save more lives every day.

Thank you for being by our side.
