GAZA CI SONO PROVE SCIENTIFICHE DEL GENOCIDIO, MA L’OCCIDENTE SI OSTINA A NEGARLO

https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2024/05/08/gaza-ci-sono-prove-scientifiche-del-genocidio-ma-loccidente-si-ostina-a-negarlo/7540270/

I doppi standard morali del mondo occidentale di Gaza accecano così tanto che perfino le prove scientifiche pubblicate su riviste prestigiose come Lancet, giustamente usate per contrastare le asserzioni dei negazionismi Covid durante la pandemia, ora vengono messe in dubbio o ignorate? I dati che anche le Nazioni Unite e epidemiologi di istituzioni accreditate a livello mondiale ritengono approssimativamente validi, per i negazionismi del genocidio non sono affidabili se si tratta di Gaza? O sono le critiche sui dati di mortalità a rivelare l’inaffidabilità delle opinioni dei negazionismi del genocidio? Pur di negare l’evidenza di un crimine del quale siamo tutti complici la nostra mente prova di tutto?

In questa ricerca apparsa su Lancet che ha analizzato i dati di mortalità del ministro della Sanità a Gaza, tre ricercatori della John Hopkins School of Public Health chiariscono in modo empirico che i dati di mortalità a Gaza non sono gonfiati e non hanno grandi margini di errore. I morti accertati, infatti, come accaduto durante la pandemia, sono molto probabilmente sottostimati. Perché? Per una ragione molto semplice: con il 70% delle case distrutte, quasi tutti gli ospedali, scuole, panetterie distrutte, senza acqua potabile, riscaldamento, scarso accesso a cibo e medicinali, cosa ci si aspettate succeda? Che la mortalità diminuisca? E cosa ne dite “dell’effetto statistico” (concedetemi il tragico sarcasmo) di centinaia se non migliaia di corpi sotto le macerie?

Sciolti i dubbi sui dati di mortalità, i negazionisti del genocidio argomentano che la definizione di genocidio stabilisce sia necessario accertarne l’intenzionalità. Un documento redatto da Law for Palestine ha raccolto 500 incitamenti al genocidio e altrettanti link che ne corroborano la veridicità. Una buona parte sono di top figure politiche del governo e dell’esercito israeliano. Altri provengono da giornalisti e opinionisti israeliani.

Il doppio standard morale creato dal pregiudizio di conferma occidentale è così accecante che perfino l’International Court of Justice, citata e ammirata per il mandato di cattura a Putin, ora viene attaccata e minacciata (es. una dozzina di senatori repubblicani in Usa che scrivono all’ICJ “vi abbiamo avvertito”) per il mandato di cattura a Netanyahu. Ah, dimenticavo, la stessa Corte ha stabilito che la denuncia del Sud Africa a Israele per “atti di genocidio” è plausibile e ha infatti intimato un cessate il fuoco immediato, puntualmente ignorato da Israele, con pacche sulle spalle dei leader occidentali.

Sciolti i dubbi sui dati di mortalità, i negazionisti del genocidio argomentano che la definizione di genocidio stabilisce sia necessario accertarne l’intenzionalità. Un documento redatto da Law for Palestine ha raccolto 500 incitamenti al genocidio e altrettanti link che ne corroborano la veridicità. Una buona parte sono di top figure politiche del governo e dell’esercito israeliano. Altri provengono da giornalisti e opinionisti israeliani.

In sette mesi di assalto a Gaza, Israele ha ucciso oltre 14000 bambini; l’invasione della Russia in Ucraina in oltre 2 anni di bombardamenti poco più di 500 (ovviamente anche questi dati sono sottostimati e ogni vita di un bambino ucciso in guerra è una tragedia indicibile beh oltre i freddi numeri). I freddi numeri tuttavia dicono che il genocidio di Israele a Gaza, aiutato e sostenuto moralmente e militarmente dal mondo occidentale, è un atto di ferocia (e psicopatia internazionale) senza precedenti storici recenti.

Di fronte a questi fatti e questi dati, arrampicarsi sugli specchi adducendo sofismi di vario tipo al fine di negarne la devastante, tragica importanza, è sintomo di un pregiudizio culturale che assegna valore alla vita umana a targhe alterne. È la prova che mass media, istituzioni educative e socializzazione hanno spinto il nostro immaginario collettivo a suddividere le persone uccise in guerra in “vittime di serie A” e “vittime di serie B”. Quelle di “serie A”, opera dei nostri nemici, meritano le nostre lacrime e la nostra compassione. “Quelle di serie B”, causate dai nostri governi e loro alleati, la nostra indifferenza?

Possiamo fare meglio.

GAZA THERE IS SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF GENOCIDE, BUT THE WEST SUBSTANCES IN DENYING IT

https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2024/05/08/gaza-ci-sono-prove-scientifiche-del-genocidio-ma-loccidente-si-ostina-a-negarlo/7540270/

Are the Western world’s moral double standards in Gaza so blinding that even scientific evidence published in prestigious journals such as the Lancet, rightly used to counter the claims of Covid deniers during the pandemic, is now being doubted or ignored? The data that even the United Nations and epidemiologists of accredited institutions worldwide consider to be approximately valid, for genocide deniers, are not reliable when it comes to Gaza? Or is it the criticism of mortality data that reveals the unreliability of the opinions of genocide deniers? In order to deny the evidence of a crime in which we are all accomplices, does our mind try anything?

In this research which appeared in the Lancet which analyzed the mortality data of the Minister of Health in Gaza, three researchers from the John Hopkins School of Public Health clarify empirically that the mortality data in Gaza are not inflated and do not have large margins of error . The confirmed deaths, in fact, as happened during the pandemic, are most likely underestimated. Why? For a very simple reason: with 70% of homes destroyed, almost all hospitals, schools, bakeries destroyed, without drinking water, heating, little access to food and medicine, what do you expect to happen? May mortality decrease? And what do you say about the “statistical effect” (please indulge me in tragic sarcasm) of hundreds if not thousands of bodies under the rubble?

Having resolved the doubts about the mortality data, genocide deniers argue that the definition of genocide establishes that it is necessary to ascertain its intentionality. A document drawn up by Law for Palestine has collected 500 incitements to genocide and as many links that corroborate their veracity. A good portion are top political figures in the Israeli government and army. Others come from Israeli journalists and commentators.

The moral double standard created by Western confirmation bias is so blinding that even the International Court of Justice, cited and admired for the arrest warrant for Putin, is now being attacked and threatened (e.g. a dozen Republican senators in the US writing to the ICJ “we warned you”) for the arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Ah, I forgot, the same Court has established that South Africa’s complaint to Israel for “acts of genocide” is plausible and has in fact called for an immediate ceasefire, promptly ignored by Israel, with pats on the back from Western leaders.

Having resolved the doubts about the mortality data, genocide deniers argue that the definition of genocide establishes that it is necessary to ascertain its intentionality. A document drawn up by Law for Palestine has collected 500 incitements to genocide and as many links that corroborate their veracity. A good portion are top political figures in the Israeli government and army. Others come from Israeli journalists and commentators.

In seven months of assault on Gaza, Israel killed over 14,000 children; the invasion of Russia in Ukraine in over 2 years of bombings just over 500 (obviously even these data are underestimated and every life of a child killed in war is an unspeakable tragedy well beyond the cold numbers). The cold numbers, however, say that Israel’s genocide in Gaza, aided and supported morally and militarily by the Western world, is an act of ferocity (and international psychopathy) without recent historical precedent.

Faced with these facts and data, climbing on straws by citing sophisms of various types in order to deny their devastating, tragic importance, is a symptom of a cultural prejudice that assigns value to human life on alternate plates. It is proof that mass media, educational institutions and socialization have pushed our collective imagination to divide people killed in war into “series A victims” and “series B victims”. Those of “series A”, the work of our enemies, deserve our tears and our compassion. “The second-class ones”, caused by our governments and their allies, our indifference?

We can do better.

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.”

STARLINK, ISRAELE DICE NO AD INTERNET VIA SATELLITE DI MUSK: “HAMAS LO USEREBBE PER TERRORISMO”

Si tratta del sistema di satelliti di Space X, che ad agosto contava circa 5mila satelliti in orbita bassa, 550 chilometri dal suolo terrestre

https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/musk-apre-starlink-ong-gaza-dove-manca-internet-AFImVhQB?refresh_ce=1

Israele «userà tutti i mezzi a sua disposizione per impedire» l’uso di Starlink a Gaza, dopo l’offerta arrivata sabato da Elon Musk. «Hamas lo userà per attività di terrorismo – ha scritto in un post sul social X il ministro israeliano per le Comunicazioni, Shlomo Karhi – Forse Musk sarebbe disposto a condizionarlo al rilascio dei nostri bambini, figli, figlie, anziani rapiti. Di tutti!».

Intanto, dopo il blackout, la Palestine Telecommunications Company (Paltel) ha annunciato stamani sul social X il «ripristino graduale» di linee telefoniche, mobili e fisse, e Internet nella Striscia di Gaza, nel mirino delle operazioni israeliane dal terribile attacco del 7 ottobre di Hamas in Israele.

QUELLO CHE ERA GAZA OGGI NON E’ PIU’

https://m.oxfamitalia.org/nl/link?c=12ek8&d=ai8&h=2iegs5srkhl7vh6b1d6826h4sh&i=3i0&iw=1&n=2fh&p=H554890970&s=wv&sn=2fh

Adriana Zega è una delle nostre operatrici umanitarie, che ha lavorato tanti anni a Gaza, da lei descritta come un luogo pieno di vita e bellezza: un luogo che oggi non esiste più, dove dopo sei mesi di conflitto, centinaia di donne uomini e bambini inermi vengono uccisi ogni giorno. 

LA VOCE DI ADRIANA, OPERATRICE UMANITARIA IMPEGNATA A GAZA

“Ogni singolo collega, amico e conoscente con cui ogni giorno sono in contatto è – ogni istante, ogni minuto che passa – un sopravvissuto.”

Adriana Zega

Gaza: In mezzo alle sfide quotidiane per la sopravvivenza e all’orrore della guerra, emerge la testimonianza coraggiosa di Adriana Zega, operatrice umanitaria di Oxfam. Nella Striscia, ormai segnata da sei mesi di conflitto, i civili continuano a essere uccisi dai bombardamenti isrealiani, oltre che a causa della mancanza di cibo e di acqua pulita. Anche la vita degli operatori umanitari è ogni momento a rischio, sono 243 gli operatori che sono stati uccisi dall’esercito israeliano mentre portavano assistenza alla popolazione civile. In questa realtà di perdita ma anche di incredibile resilienza, vogliamo condividere le parole di Adriana con la speranza di un futuro migliore per Gaza e per coloro che vi abitano.

LA LETTERA DI ADRIANA

Ciao, mi chiamo Adriana, sono un’operatrice umanitaria da più di dieci anni e faccio parte del team umanitario globale di Oxfam. Mi occupo della protezione delle persone per supportare chi è più a rischio per la propria vita in situazioni di emergenza e tutelare i loro diritti.

Da novembre 2023, lavoro per la risposta umanitaria di Gaza e ogni giorno sono in contatto con i colleghi palestinesi di Oxfam a Gaza.

LA GAZA CHE CONOSCEVO

Conosco bene la Striscia di Gaza perché ci ho lavorato per quattro anni tra il 2009 e il 2015. O forse farei meglio a dire “conoscevo” la Striscia di Gaza. Intere città, quartieri e campi rifugiati sono stati distrutti dall’esercito israeliano. Ospedali, università, siti storici (antiche moschee e chiese) e archeologici distrutti.

Purtroppo, la Gaza piena di bellezza e vita che ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere non esiste più.

GAZA È DIVENTATA UN LUOGO DI MORTE E DISPERAZIONE

La tragedia umana che i palestinesi della Striscia stanno vivendo da oltre sei mesi è immensa. È la quinta offensiva militare israeliana in 16 anni di blocco imposto sulla Striscia di Gaza ed è la più brutale, con oltre 33 mila persone uccise, il 70 per cento dei quali sono civili tra cui almeno 10 mila donne e 14 mila bambini.

SIAMO DI FRONTE AL RISCHIO DI GENOCIDIO

Ogni singolo collega, amico e conoscente con cui ogni giorno sono in contatto è – ogni istante, minuto che passa – un sopravvissuto. Non so se il giorno dopo ci sarà ancora, se avremo la prossima riunione già fissata in agenda. Sono tutti sfollati e hanno tutti perso amici o familiari senza aver avuto il tempo di elaborare il lutto.

Le persone si confrontano con la paura di morire non solo a causa dei bombardamenti che continuano incessanti via cielo, terra e mare, sapendo di non avere nessun luogo sicuro dove rifugiarsi o scappare. Adesso a Gaza le persone stanno soffrendo la fame. Si rischia di morire per assenza di cibo sufficiente e acqua pulita, oltre che per la totale mancanza di condizioni igieniche e cure mediche.

Non mi capacito di come sia possibile che nel 2024, delle persone possano morire di fame a causa dell’uomo. Almeno 27 bambini sono morti di fame. Eppure, è così. Israele oltre a usare la forza militare in maniera sproporzionata contro i civili, sta usando la fame come arma di guerra. Siamo di fronte al rischio di genocidio.

Gaza è la missione umanitaria più difficile in cui io abbia mai lavorato

Ho lavorato in tanti contesti difficili, a confronto con l’enorme sofferenza umana delle persone causata da conflitti armati e catastrofi naturali. Posso dire che quella di Gaza è la missione umanitaria più difficile in cui io abbia mai lavorato.

Oltre al confronto con la sofferenza immensa e l’annichilimento dell’essere umano, si aggiunge l’enorme frustrazione per la mancanza di giustizia di fronte a gravissime violazioni del diritto internazionale umanitario.

L’operato degli attori umanitari deve essere garantito durante le ostilità, al contrario il lavoro delle organizzazioni umanitarie viene ostacolato dalle autorità israeliane.

Abbiamo continuato ad assistere alle restrizioni imposte da Israele all’accesso degli aiuti umanitari attraverso i valichi di Rafah e Kerem Shalom, restrizioni all’accesso fisico al Nord della Striscia dove oltre 300 mila persone sono tagliate fuori dagli aiuti, e ad attacchi ripetuti dell’esercito israeliano contro operatori umanitari palestinesi e internazionali, personale medico, ospedali e ambulanze, giornalisti.

DOBBIAMO CONTINUARE A FARE TUTTO CIÒ CHE È POSSIBILE

Eppure, ogni giorno rispondiamo sul campo per portare aiuti alle persone dove abbiamo accesso. Sono i colleghi di Oxfam e delle organizzazioni partner a Gaza i primi a rispondere e a lavorare ogni giorno, nonostante siano sfollati e abbiamo subito la perdita di persone care, dandoci la motivazione per trovare soluzioni e costruire ogni giorno la risposta nonostante le difficoltà.

Dobbiamo continuare a fare tutto ciò che è possibile: dal supporto materiale per le donne e le ragazze con abiti e kit igienici, agli aiuti per le persone sfollate nelle tendopoli o ammassate nei centri comunitari gestiti dai partner, all’identificazione dei minori non accompagnati (si stima siano più di 17.000 i bambini rimasti orfani), le distribuzioni del cibo che riusciamo a fare entrare, l’installazione di desalinizzatori per l’acqua potabile.

È necessario fare molto di più e garantire l’intervento in sicurezza delle organizzazioni umanitarie. Per questo bisogna fare pressione per ottenere un cessate il fuoco immediato e che venga garantito l’ingresso degli aiuti umanitari necessari per dare una risposta adeguata.

PORTARE AIUTO NELL’INFERNO DI GAZA

Da ottobre, in seguito all’attacco di Hamas, assistiamo con sgomento agli attacchi indiscriminati e alle atrocità inflitte alla popolazione civile di Gaza commessa da Israele e dalla sua Israeli Defence Force. In questa drammatica cornice il lavoro dei nostri colleghi e colleghe sul campo si fa sempre più complesso. Ben 243 operatori umanitari hanno perso la vita a Gaza, mentre cercavano disperatamente di portare aiuti vitali all’interno della Striscia.*

Sono trascorsi più di sei mesi e stiamo ancora contando [i giorni] senza avere idea di quando finirà

Anche Jomana, operatrice umanitaria di Oxfam attiva a Gaza, si trova ogni giorno a lottare per la sopravvivenza mentre si impegna a lavorare senza sosta per aiutare la sua famiglia e la sua comunità. Nonostante le difficoltà e il pericolo costante, Jomana conserva nel cuore sogni di pace e di un ritorno a una vita più tranquilla e serena.

https://www.oxfamitalia.org/portare-aiuto-nellinferno-di-gaza/

Se le bombe uccidono, lo fa anche la fame

Qui al nord soffriamo la fame: siamo costretti a sopravvivere sotto pesanti bombardamenti senza cibo, acqua pulita e con il rischio costante di contrarre malattie

ci racconta Jomana.

Circa 1,4 milioni di palestinesi hanno cercato rifugio a Rafah, dopo essere stati sfollati molte volte. Le condizioni di vita nei campi per sfollati sono drammatiche. Foto: Alef Multimedia/Oxfam

Tutta la popolazione di Gaza si trova ad affrontare livelli critici di insicurezza alimentare, un tragico scenario che purtroppo si tradurrà presto in un aumento significativo di morti.

Lo denuncia un nuovo report sullo stato dell’insicurezza alimentare nella Striscia, promosso da un network di 19 agenzie e istituzioni intergovernative di cui Oxfam fa parte.*

Dallo scorso gennaio 300mila persone intrappolate nel nord di Gaza sono costrette a sopravvivere con meno di 245 calorie al giorno a testa: l’equivalente di 100 grammi di pane. Un ammontare inferiore al 12% del fabbisogno calorico necessario per la sopravvivenza.

Israele ha deliberatamente e sistematicamente negato cibo e acqua mettendo gran parte della popolazione a rischio imminente di carestia. Questo costituisce una punizione collettiva e va contro il diritto internazionale.

IL SOGNO DI TORNARE ALLA VITA

Jomana aspira a riconquistare la sua vita, la speranza e il suo futuro, non diversamente da qualsiasi altra giovane della sua età.

A vent’anni, come qualsiasi ragazza della mia generazione, ho molti sogni e obiettivi da realizzare. Ma per ora, il mio più grande desiderio è semplicemente vivere in pace con la mia famiglia nella vecchia Gaza. In questo momento, non riesco a pensare al mio futuro; la mia unica preoccupazione è tornare alla vita semplice che conoscevo prima.

Una generazione di bambini, ragazzi e ragazze sta vivendo un livello di violenza e atrocità senza precedenti, rischiando di essere cancellata per sempre.

WHAT WAS GAZA TODAY IS NO LONGER

Adriana Zega is one of our humanitarian workers, who has worked for many years in Gaza, which she described as a place full of life and beauty: a place that no longer exists today, where after six months of conflict, hundreds of women, men and children helpless people are killed every day.

THE VOICE OF ADRIANA, A HUMANITARIAN WORKER ENGAGED IN GAZA

“Every single colleague, friend and acquaintance I come into contact with every day is – every moment, every minute that passes – a survivor.”

Adriana Zega

Gaza: In the midst of the daily challenges of survival and the horror of war, the courageous testimony of Adriana Zega, Oxfam humanitarian worker, emerges. In the Strip, now marked by six months of conflict, civilians continue to be killed by Israeli bombing, as well as due to the lack of food and clean water. Even the lives of humanitarian workers are at risk at every moment; 243 workers have been killed by the Israeli army while providing assistance to the civilian population. In this reality of loss but also of incredible resilience, we want to share Adriana’s words with the hope of a better future for Gaza and those who live there.

ADRIANA’S LETTER

Hi, my name is Adriana, I have been a humanitarian worker for more than ten years and I am part of Oxfam’s global humanitarian team. I deal with the protection of people to support those who are most at risk for their lives in emergency situations and protect their rights.

Since November 2023, I have been working for the Gaza humanitarian response and am in contact with Oxfam’s Palestinian colleagues in Gaza every day.

THE GAZA I KNEW

I know the Gaza Strip well because I worked there for four years between 2009 and 2015. Or perhaps I would be better off saying “I knew” the Gaza Strip. Entire cities, neighborhoods and refugee camps have been destroyed by the Israeli army. Hospitals, universities, historical (ancient mosques and churches) and archaeological sites destroyed.

Unfortunately, the Gaza full of beauty and life that I was lucky enough to know no longer exists.

GAZA HAS BECOME A PLACE OF DEATH AND DESPERATION

The human tragedy that the Palestinians of the Strip have been experiencing for over six months is immense. It is the fifth Israeli military offensive in 16 years of blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip and is the most brutal, with over 33 thousand people killed, 70 percent of whom are civilians including at least 10 thousand women and 14 thousand children.

WE ARE FACED WITH THE RISK OF GENOCIDE

Every single colleague, friend and acquaintance I come into contact with every day is – every moment, minute that passes – a survivor. I don’t know if he will still be there the next day, if we will have the next meeting already scheduled on the agenda. They are all displaced and have all lost friends or family without having had time to grieve.

People are faced with the fear of dying not only because of the bombings that continue incessantly via air, land and sea, knowing that they have nowhere safe to take refuge or escape. Now people in Gaza are going hungry. You risk dying due to the lack of sufficient food and clean water, as well as the total lack of hygienic conditions and medical care.

I don’t understand how it is possible that in 2024, people can die of hunger because of man. At least 27 children died of starvation. Yet, it is so. Israel, in addition to using military force disproportionately against civilians, is using hunger as a weapon of war. We are facing the risk of genocide.

Gaza is the most difficult humanitarian mission I have ever worked on

I have worked in many difficult contexts, faced with the enormous human suffering of people caused by armed conflicts and natural disasters. I can say that Gaza is the most difficult humanitarian mission I have ever worked on.

In addition to the comparison with the immense suffering and annihilation of human beings, there is also the enormous frustration at the lack of justice in the face of very serious violations of international humanitarian law.

The work of humanitarian actors must be guaranteed during hostilities, on the contrary the work of humanitarian organizations is hindered by the Israeli authorities.

We continued to witness the restrictions imposed by Israel on the access of humanitarian aid through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings, restrictions on physical access to the northern Strip where over 300,000 people are cut off from aid, and repeated attacks by Israeli army against Palestinian and international humanitarian workers, medical personnel, hospitals and ambulances, journalists.

WE MUST CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE

Yet, every day we respond on the ground to bring aid to people where we have access. Colleagues from Oxfam and partner organizations in Gaza are the first to respond and work every day, despite being displaced and having suffered the loss of loved ones, giving us the motivation to find solutions and build the response every day despite the difficulties.

We must continue to do everything we can: from material support for women and girls with clothing and hygiene kits, to aid for people displaced in tent cities or crowded into community centers run by partners, to identifying unaccompanied minors ( it is estimated that more than 17,000 children have been orphaned), the food distributions that we manage to get in, the installation of desalination plants for drinking water.

It is necessary to do much more and guarantee the safe intervention of humanitarian organizations. For this reason, pressure must be applied to obtain an immediate ceasefire and to guarantee the entry of the humanitarian aid necessary to provide an adequate response.

Adriana

BRINGING HELP TO THE HELL OF GAZA

Since October, following the Hamas attack, we have witnessed with dismay the indiscriminate attacks and atrocities inflicted on the civilian population of Gaza committed by Israel and its Israeli Defense Force. In this dramatic setting, the work of our colleagues in the field is becoming increasingly complex. As many as 243 humanitarian workers have lost their lives in Gaza, while desperately trying to bring vital aid into the Strip.*

More than six months have passed and we are still counting [the days] with no idea when it will end

Even Jomana, an Oxfam aid worker active in Gaza, finds herself fighting for survival every day as she works tirelessly to help her family and community. Despite the difficulties and danger they persist.

https://www.oxfamitalia.org/portare-aiuto-nellinferno-di-gaza/

If bombs kill, so does hunger

Here in the north we suffer from hunger: we are forced to survive under heavy bombing without food, clean water and with the constant risk of contracting diseases

Jomana tells us.

The entire population of Gaza is facing critical levels of food insecurity, a tragic scenario that will unfortunately soon result in a significant increase in deaths.

This is reported by a new report on the state of food insecurity in the Strip, promoted by a network of 19 intergovernmental agencies and institutions of which Oxfam is part.*

Since last January, 300,000 people trapped in northern Gaza have been forced to survive on less than 245 calories per day each: the equivalent of 100 grams of bread. An amount less than 12% of the calorie needs necessary for survival.

Israel has deliberately and systematically denied food and water, putting much of the population at imminent risk of famine. This constitutes collective punishment and is against international law.

THE DREAM OF RETURN TO LIFE

Jomana aspires to regain her life, hope and future, no different than any other young person her age.

At twenty, like any girl of my generation, I have many dreams and goals to achieve. But for now, my greatest wish is simply to live in peace with my family in old Gaza. Right now, I can’t think about my future; my only concern is to return to the simple life I knew before.

A generation of children, boys and girls is experiencing an unprecedented level of violence and atrocities, risking being erased forever.

JOIN US

Like Jomana, dozens of colleagues are risking their lives to help and protect civilians in Gaza.

Our work alongside the Palestinian population continues unabated, but only a lasting ceasefire will be able to guarantee the entry of aid vital to their survival.

It is our collective responsibility to stop this tragedy: helpless children, women, men can no longer wait. Join thousands of people in calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Sign and share the petition calling for the protection of civilians NOW.

TI SCRIVO DA GAZA

Ciao Alessio

mi chiamo Roberto Scaini, sono un medico e ti scrivo da Gaza. Che la situazione sia disperata immagino tu lo sappia già, te l’hanno raccontato su tutti i media. MSF è qui a Gaza dal 1988, ma solo ora stiamo assistendo a casi di malnutrizione infantile.

Qualche giorno fa, proprio fuori la nostra clinica, ho notato un bambino in braccio alla mamma. Si chiamava Mohammed e andava visitato subito: era malnutrito. Il cibo terapeutico, il pumplynut, si dà a partire dai 6 mesi di vita, ma lui ne ha 4 e pesa solo 3 chili e mezzo. Mi sono lavato le mani e gli ho dato il mignolo per vedere se succhiava. Succhiava, eccome! Strillava perché aveva fame.

Ho detto alla mamma di allattarlo e, affidandola all’ostetrica, sono tornato dopo 20 minuti. Era calmo, l’ho visitato e stava meglio. Ho spiegato alla mamma che deve provare ad allattare di più, mi ha detto che lo farà, ma durante il giorno deve andare a cercare il cibo per gli altri figli. Ho provato a infonderle un po’ di speranza e a farle capire che la aiuteremo, mentre fuori si sentivano i colpi delle mitragliatrici.

Qui è in atto una catastrofe umanitaria. Stiamo facendo il possibile per la popolazione, ma ci riusciamo solo se persone come te decidono di sostenerci.

Grazie 
per quello che potrai fare oggi.

I’M WRITING YOU FROM GAZA

Hello Alessio

my name is Roberto Scaini, I am a doctor and I am writing to you from Gaza. I imagine you already know that the situation is desperate, they told you about it in all the media. MSF has been here in Gaza since 1988, but we are only now seeing cases of child malnutrition.

A few days ago, right outside our clinic, I noticed a baby in his mother’s arms. His name was Mohammed and he needed to be seen immediately: he was malnourished. The therapeutic food, pumplynut, is given starting from 6 months of life, but he is 4 and weighs only 3 and a half kilos. I washed my hands and gave him my little finger to see if he would suck. He sucked, of course! He was screaming because he was hungry.

I told the mother to breastfeed him and, handing her over to the midwife, I returned after 20 minutes. He was calm, I examined him and he was better. I explained to the mother that she needs to try to breastfeed more, she told me she will, but during the day she has to go look for food for her other children. I tried to give her a little hope and make her understand that we will help her, while machine gun fire could be heard outside.

There is a humanitarian catastrophe taking place here. We are doing everything we can for the population, but we only succeed if people like you decide to support us.

Thank you for what you can do today.

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM: THE EGYPTIAN COMPANY THAT MAKING MILLIONS FROM GAZA’S MISERY

An Egyptian company is charging Palestinians $5,000 per person to flee from Gaza and Rafah in Rafah Crossing and has increased its prices 14-fold since the war began. Sky News investigates how the company has become the only option for many families seeking safety.

‘$1m a day’ – the price of freedom
https://news.sky.com/story/the-price-of-freedom-the-company-making-millions-from-gazas-misery-13081454

For weeks, Amani* and her five children have been living in a tent in Rafah, the increasingly crowded city on Gaza’s southern border.

“There is constant bombing and terror. My children are very afraid,” she says.

“We are dying slowly and nobody cares, nobody feels for us. Our kids have no life. It’s not clean, there’s no food. Everything is difficult.”

Across the border, in Egypt, her husband Mahmoud* has been desperately trying to arrange for them to be allowed out of Gaza through the Rafah crossing.

He has not seen his wife or children for five months. Their youngest is just three years old.

“I wish I could leave and take my children to their father,” says Amani. “He is trying to make coordination for us to get to him, but it is expensive.”

Amani and her five children have been living in a tent in Rafah for weeks

By “coordination”, Amani is referring to a system by which Palestinians can pay for permission to leave the Gaza Strip.

Before the war, Palestinians faced waiting weeks or months to be allowed into Egypt. By paying a few hundred dollars to one of several companies, however, they could guarantee their travel in a matter of days.

Normal cross-border travel has been suspended since the start of the war. Coordination is now the only way for Palestinians without dual nationality to leave Gaza, barring medical evacuation.

And while there used to be several companies offering coordination, now there is only one – the Egyptian firm Hala.

Before the war, it was possible to travel with Hala for $350 (£277) – as seen in the advertisement below, by a Gaza-based travel agent offering Hala services.

Social media post by Mushtaha, a Gaza-based travel agent, offering travel with Hala for $350

Since the war began, however, Hala has increased its prices to $5,000 (£3,960) per adult – a 14-fold increase.

Sky News has verified this price by corroborating accounts from dozens of sources, including a Hala employee, as well as price lists posted online.

A price list posted to a social media page dedicated to updates on Hala’s services on 27 January

Amani and her husband owned a profitable business in Gaza City before the war. Now it is nothing but rubble.

“They asked for $5,000 for an adult and $2,500 for a kid. How can we provide it?” says Amani.

One former coordination agent tells Sky News that he quit the industry because of Hala’s price rises. “I refuse to partake in the crime of these prices and the extortion,” he says.

Hala could be making $1m per day

Officially, Egypt is only allowing the exit of foreign nationals and injured evacuees. In recent weeks, however, the majority of those receiving permission to leave Gaza did so through Hala (56%).

On 27 February, for instance, 246 people were registered to travel with Hala, compared to 40 medical evacuees and 123 foreign nationals.

Hala’s travel list for that day, shown below, included 48 children and 198 adults, six of whom were Egyptian citizens. Based on our knowledge of Hala’s fares, that means the company could have made $1,083,900 (£858,286) in just one day.

Hala travel list for 27 February, 2024

We don’t know exactly how much the company has made on other days – this is the only time their travel list has included passengers’ nationalities, and Egyptians pay a much lower fare. But the volume of passengers has been consistent for weeks.

How Hala operates

Sky News has spoken to more than 70 Palestinians to understand how Hala is able to operate, and how its prices are affecting Palestinians at a time when so many are desperate to escape for fear of an Israeli invasion of Rafah.

Our sources include 30 people who have travelled with Hala since the war began, or who have personally arranged travel for someone.

Hala leaves little in the way of a paper trail. The company is not registered on the website of the Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism, as Egyptian companies involved in cross-border travel are required to do. Its sole internet presence is two Facebook pages and a Google form.

All of our interviewees said that payment had to be made in cash, and none were provided with a receipt.

They received only a ticket with their name on, but no information about the sum paid.

And although price lists are easily found on social media, none are provided officially by Hala.

“They wouldn’t post prices officially – they don’t want the heat,” says one man who organised travel for his family. “People just inquire at the office and spread the word.”

Word spreads via social media, on Facebook pages and Telegram channels with tens or hundreds of thousands of followers.

A Hala employee told Sky News that the best way to register and pay for travel with the company was to send a relative to their head office in Cairo.

The employee said people could also pay via mobile cash transfer, though this was not corroborated by any of our sources.

A social media exchange between Sky News and a Hala employee

Hala’s main office is at the headquarters of its parent company, the Organi Group, in Cairo’s Nasr City district.

“The whole building is guarded with massive security,” said one source who had visited the office. “It’s very fancy.”

Multiple sources said that there were often hundreds or thousands of people queuing outside. Two told Sky News that they were forced to pay a non-refundable $1,000 deposit simply to get into the building.

Videos verified by Sky News show the queues on 20 February.

Sky News was able to geolocate the videos to a street outside the Organi Group’s headquarters in Nasr City, confirming their location.

Once the money has been handed over, passengers wait to hear if they have been accepted for travel.

“Our understanding is that Egypt and Israel are very closely coordinated on who can exit through the crossing,” says Tania Hary, executive director of Israeli human rights organisation Gisha.

“So, it would surprise me if Hala’s lists were shielded from Israeli scrutiny.”

The Egyptian and Israeli authorities did not respond when asked whether they were involved in running security checks on Hala travellers.

Once their names have been approved, customers are issued a travel ticket and wait until their names appear on a travel list.

“People are quite desperate,” said Hary.

“They are fundraising, they’re asking for money from their family members, doing whatever they can to raise very high sums of money in order to pay for their own freedom.”

“Completely out of our league”

On the windswept coast of North Wales, the war in Gaza feels like a world away. But the skyrocketing cost of escaping the conflict is being felt here, too.

Hend and Ahmed moved from Gaza City to Bangor shortly before the war began on 7 October last year

“We were really shocked with the prices,” says Palestinian mother-of-two Hend when we meet at her home in Bangor. “They are completely out of our league.”

Hend and her husband Ahmed are trying to raise £48,163 through crowdfunding to pay for nine members of Ahmed’s family, including his parents, to travel with Hala.

Hend and Ahmed are trying to raise £48,163 to get Ahmed’s family out of Gaza

The couple moved from Gaza to Wales shortly before the war, so that Ahmed could take up a job as a doctor in the NHS. His parents stayed behind.

Their three-year-old son Qussai has been asking when he can speak to his grandparents again.

Hend’s and Ahmed’s parents have not had the chance to meet their five-month-old granddaughter Farida, who was born after the couple relocated.

Five-month-old Farida has not had a chance to meet her grandparents

During a video call with his grandparents early in the war, Hend says, Qussai heard the sound of bombing in the background and asked what it was.

“The first thing on my mind, I said it was a volcano,” Hend says.

“And now whenever he hears a loud voice or slamming or anything, he says it’s a volcano.

“I wonder, if any mother was in my place what would she feel? Because sometimes I find I cannot process what I feel and what I’m living.”

Hala’s current prices would be unaffordable for most Gaza residents in normal times. But salaries have gone unpaid for months, many have lost their homes, and inflation is rampant.

“Previously, if we gave someone $100 it could support them for a week or two,” says Ahmed. “It would merely cover one day now.”

“We are still far from our goal,” Hend says. “What we have collected until now is not enough to get one person out.”

Hundreds of Palestinians like Hend and Ahmed are trying to raise funds through platforms such as GoFundMe and JustGiving.

“For those people in Gaza who are deprived of everything, [Hala] is kind of a life jacket in the sea,” said a researcher from Sinai, familiar with the Egypt-Gaza border.

Sky News analysed a sample of 140 GoFundMe pages to see what kind of money Palestinians were trying to raise.

The average fundraiser was seeking enough for a typical household, which our research suggests includes a couple, their parents and four children. Yet most had not even raised enough for one adult traveller.

It can be difficult to leave without coordination

Aside from coordination, there are only two other ways to leave Gaza. Those with foreign nationality can leave through their embassies, and those with major injuries can apply for a medical evacuation.

Even for the severely wounded, getting a place on the injured list is no easy task.

Between 10 and 29 February, an average of just 44 people were included on this list each day, compared to an average of 234 who coordinated with Hala.

It took Hend four months to secure the evacuation of her father Adnan, despite him suffering a fractured femur and complications from a liver transplant.

Foreign nationals have also faced difficulties leaving via official routes. Sky News spoke to three foreign nationals (Greek, Dutch and Canadian) who were unable to leave without paying. One is currently trying to arrange travel with Hala.

Sky News asked Egypt’s foreign minister Sameh Shoukry whether the government condoned Hala charging $5,000 for Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip.

“Absolutely not,” Shoukry said. “We will take whatever measures we need so as to restrict it and eliminate it totally. There should be no advantage taken out of this situation for monetary gain.”

Egyptian foreign minister Sameh Shoukry speaking to Sky News presenter Yalda Hakim on 18 February

Asked whether the government will look into these allegations, Shoukry said: “It is already looking into it and will take action vis-a-vis anyone who has been implicated in such activities.”

Amr Magdi, an Egypt expert at Human Rights Watch, tells Sky News that Shoukry’s response “rings hollow”.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” Magdi says. “There can’t be such economic activity, especially when it is a monopoly, without a green light from the military and without actual connections to the military.”

“It’s mainly the military and the military intelligence who control the border,” he says. “No one can pass through the border without the knowledge of the Egyptian authorities.”

Hala’s parent company, the Organi Group, is a high-profile company in Egypt. In January 2023, it became an official sponsor of Al Ahly, the most successful football team in Africa.

Almost all of those who spoke to us did so on the condition of anonymity, for fear of retaliation from the Egyptian authorities.

“They will arrest me and my family if they know I talked with you,” said one man, who had recently arranged his father’s exit. “I am afraid of them – you don’t know how brutal they are.”

Sky News presented its findings to Hala, the Organi Group and governments of Israel and Egypt. None of them responded.

“This isn’t life”

After five months of war, health authorities in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip say that more than 30,000 have been killed.

Half the population is now crammed into Rafah, transforming much of the city into a refugee camp.

Satellite image of Rafah with tents highlighted, 21 February 2024. SOURCE: Planet Labs PBC

Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his military to prepare for a “powerful” ground invasion of the city but has not set out any plan for the evacuation of Rafah’s 1.5 million residents.

Egypt has categorically rejected any suggestion that Palestinians should be allowed to flee en masse into Sinai.

However, footage shared by the Egypt-based group Sinai for Human Rights and verified by Sky News shows a large land-clearing operation is under way on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border, as well as the construction of a wall.

Sky has not been able to independently verify the purpose of the construction works, but Sinai for Human Rights says that it is intended to house an influx of Palestinian refugees.

Shoukry told Sky News that the activity was part of the “ordinary maintenance” of the border. “It is in no way related to providing any camps or shelter on our side of the border,” he said.

As of 26 February, satellite imagery shows, an area of roughly 15 square kilometres has been cleared.

High-resolution imagery from the same date shows scores of trucks and construction vehicles in the area.

For parents like Amani, the mother-of-five in Rafah, it is difficult to see what kind of future their children can expect.

“This isn’t life, living on the streets with no food or water,” she says. “We are living in fear.”

Amani’s children have not seen their father Mahmoud in five months. It would cost the couple $17,500 to reunite their family.

“I want them to see their father but it’s too expensive,” Amani says.

“God willing, the price will fall.”

KILLING OF SEVEN HUMANITARIAN WORKERS IN GAZA – L’UCCISIONE DI SETTE OPERATORI UMANITARI A GAZA

Dear Alessio,

Seven of our humanitarian colleagues from World Central Kitchen were killed in Gaza by the Israeli army.

James, Saifeddin, Jacob, Zomi, Damian, John and Jim were dedicated humanitarian workers, struck down in an IDF attack, right after unloading more than 100 tonnes of food aid. We extend our support and condolences to their families and friends at World Central Kitchen.

They were from Palestine, the UK, Australia, Poland, and a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada. We ask for more action from the UK government and Rishi Sunak, not just words.

We need a permanent ceasefire now, and unrestricted humanitarian access into Gaza.

As you know from our regular updates, operating in Gaza is exceptionally challenging. We’ve faced obstacles due to heightened security risks and a very fragile humanitarian landscape. Our medical clinics are operational, but we start each day with the uncertainty of what it will bring.

We’re working alongside many other organisations, including World Central Kitchen, to get as much aid as possible to the people trapped on the ground. This humanitarian response is a team effort, we all communicate, coordinate and work together, we contribute our medical expertise as we try to alleviate the significant suffering.

None of us providing aid are working in isolation. All of us living in the same conditions as civilians.

As always; thank you for your support and attention, Alessio. We continue to advocate for an end to this crisis.

L’UCCISIONE DI SETTE OPERATORI UMANITARI A GAZA

Caro Alessio,

Sette dei nostri colleghi umanitari di World Central Kitchen sono stati uccisi a Gaza dall’esercito israeliano.

James, Saifeddin, Jacob, Zomi, Damian, John e Jim erano operatori umanitari devoti, colpiti in un attacco dell’IDF, subito dopo aver scaricato più di 100 tonnellate di aiuti alimentari. Estendiamo il nostro sostegno e le nostre condoglianze alle loro famiglie e agli amici di World Central Kitchen.

Provenivano dalla Palestina, dal Regno Unito, dall’Australia, dalla Polonia e avevano la doppia cittadinanza di Stati Uniti e Canada. Chiediamo più azioni da parte del governo britannico e di Rishi Sunak, non solo parole.

Abbiamo bisogno di un cessate il fuoco permanente adesso e di un accesso umanitario illimitato a Gaza.

Come sapete dai nostri aggiornamenti regolari, operare a Gaza è eccezionalmente impegnativo. Abbiamo dovuto affrontare ostacoli dovuti a maggiori rischi per la sicurezza e a un panorama umanitario molto fragile. Le nostre cliniche mediche sono operative, ma iniziamo ogni giornata con l’incertezza di ciò che porterà.

Stiamo lavorando insieme a molte altre organizzazioni, tra cui World Central Kitchen, per fornire quanto più aiuto possibile alle persone intrappolate a terra. Questa risposta umanitaria è un lavoro di squadra, comunichiamo, coordiniamo e lavoriamo tutti insieme, contribuiamo con la nostra esperienza medica mentre cerchiamo di alleviare le significative sofferenze.

Nessuno di noi che fornisce aiuti lavora in isolamento. Tutti noi viviamo nelle stesse condizioni dei civili.

Come sempre; grazie per il supporto e l’attenzione, Alessio. Continuiamo a sostenere la fine di questa crisi.

Il calciatore Mohammed Barakat, considerato uno dei migliori attaccanti palestinesi, è stato ucciso stamattina a Khan Younis in un bombardamento israeliano che ha colpito la sua casa. Il giocatore dell’Ahly Gaza aveva segnato 114 gol nella sua carriera. Era lo storico capitano e leggenda del club giovanile di Khan Younis e aveva giocato per molti club in Cisgiordania e in Giordania, fra i quali l’Al-Wahadat. “Che enorme perdita dentro e fuori dal campo per il calcio palestinese. Ho giocato contro di lui. Era veloce e intelligente. Un capocannoniere eccezionale. Fuori dal campo era gentile e amichevole. Un amato amico di tutti”, ha detto ad Al-Jazeera il difensore di Khadamat al-Maghazi, Khalid Abu-Habel. “Sono troppo arrabbiato. È un’icona del calcio. Lo sport a Gaza ha perso molto durante la guerra. Quanti ne dovremmo perdere ancora? La comunità sportiva a Gaza sta semplicemente sparendo”.

The Ahly Gaza player had scored 114 goals in his career. He was the historic captain and legend of Khan Younis’ youth club and had played for many clubs in the West Bank and Jordan, among them al-Wahadat. “What a huge loss on and off the pitch for Palestinian football. I played against him. He was fast and intelligent. An exceptional goal scorer. Off the pitch he was kind and friendly. A beloved friend of all,” he told Al-Jazeera the defender of Khadamat al-Maghazi, Khalid Abu-Habel. “I’m too angry. He’s a football icon. Sports in Gaza have lost a lot during the war. How many more should we lose? The sports community in Gaza is simply disappearing.”

SUPPORTATE CON ME TRE RICHIESTE DI AIUTO: DUE DA GAZA ED UNA DA RAFAH

AIUTIAMO ANAS SHAMI E LA SUA FAMIGLIA AD ESSERE EVACUATI DA GAZA

HELP ANAS SHAMI AND HIS FAMILY TO ESCAPE FROM GAZA

A DESPERATE CALL FROM GAZA

Campaign Story

Hi, my name is Anas Alshami. I’m writing this to try my last shot to save my family from the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It’s been more than 100 days of this ongoing genocide happening in Gaza.

Like so many of my people, I raised my voice to the free world and good people as a last chance to seek help, save my family and stay alive to continue my dreams.

I’m 24 years old, and my job, before the genocide, was helping my talented tech people to gain remote jobs. Because of this barbaric war, I lost my job, my house has been destroyed, and my wedding has been cancelled as well.

My family has been evacuating and escaping so many places, running from death under uncounted and unstoppable strikes and bombings.

I chose to run this campaign after losing the hope of ending this war soon. My father has a partial kidney failure, and he ran out of medications and now his situation is getting worse and worse. I have an autistic brother, and he now is suffering too many disturbances because of the unstoppable bombings. It’s been more than 100 days of war, and he’s away from his special treatment and classes.

My fiancée has left Gaza with her family (as her grandmother is Russian) a month ago, and since the war has started (3 months ago) we couldn’t see each other and our house was destroyed.

Help me and my family get out of Gaza as soon as possible by donating so we can manage all the procedures and coordination and have our lives secured.

HELP MOHAMMAD, HAIFA, & THEIR BABIES ESCAPE GAZA

Ibrahim Eisa Alkhalidi organizza questa raccolta fondi
https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-mohammad-haifa-their-babies-escape-death

My name is Ibrahim Eisa and I live in Ireland. My cousin Mohammad and his pregnant wife, Haifa, live in Rafah, Gaza and are facing an unimaginable challenge. The deafening shelling has become part of their daily lives.

Recently, one of their neighboring homes was bombed, forcing Mohammad to literally gather pieces of shattered lives from the rubble. Knowing this can happen to his kids next, that’s when he knew he realized he can’t stay there any longer.

Amidst this chaos, Haifa is carrying a precious life within her, a symbol of hope that refuses to be extinguished. The couple fear for their and children’s lives and now their dream is to raise their family away from the horrors of war.

Although they live so close to Egypt to which they intend to take refuge, entry permits and travel expenses are proving too prohibitive. Each adult’s entry permit costs $5000 USD and each child’s entry permit is $2500. $5000 USD will be allocated for travel expenses, leaving the total cost to $20000 USD which is approximately €18,500 EUR.

You can literally save their life with a donation.

Funds will be sent along with Mohammad and Haifa’s family information by me (Ibrahim Eisa Alkhalidi) to relatives in Egypt to arrange for the travel permit.

Traduzione in italiano

Mi chiamo Ibrahim Eisa e vivo in Irlanda. Mio cugino Mohammad e sua moglie incinta, Haifa, vivono a Rafah, Gaza e stanno affrontando una sfida inimmaginabile. Gli assordanti bombardamenti sono diventati parte della loro vita quotidiana.

Recentemente, una delle loro case vicine è stata bombardata, costringendo Mohammad a raccogliere letteralmente pezzi di vite distrutte dalle macerie. Sapendo che la prossima cosa potrebbe accadere ai suoi figli, è stato allora che ha capito che non poteva più restare lì.

In mezzo a questo caos, Haifa porta dentro di sé una vita preziosa, un simbolo di speranza che rifiuta di spegnersi. La coppia teme per la vita propria e dei figli e ora il loro sogno è allevare la famiglia lontano dagli orrori della guerra.

Nonostante vivano così vicino all’Egitto nel quale intendono rifugiarsi, i permessi di ingresso e le spese di viaggio si rivelano troppo proibitivi. Il permesso di ingresso di ogni adulto costa $ 5.000 USD e il permesso di ingresso di ogni bambino costa $ 2.500. Verranno stanziati $ 5.000 USD per le spese di viaggio, lasciando il costo totale a $ 20.000 USD, ovvero circa € 18.500 EUR.

Puoi letteralmente salvargli la vita con una donazione.

I fondi verranno inviati insieme alle informazioni sulla famiglia di Mohammad e Haifa da parte mia (Ibrahim Eisa Alkhalidi) ai parenti in Egitto per organizzare il permesso di viaggio.

SUPPORT MOHAMMAD’S FAMILY IN GAZA (Hn)

Campaign Story

Since Oct 7th when conflict started, more than 28,500 Palestinians have died, with more than 70 percent of them being women and children; around 68,000 people are injured. Around 6,000 people have been killed in renewed attacks on Gaza after the expiration of 7 day truce. At least 32,000 children have lost one or both parents in attacks and about 30,000 have been injured with some in critical condition.

Daily death rate in Gaza is higher than any other major 21st Century conflict; around 250 Palestinians are being killed per day with many more lives at risk from hunger, disease and cold.

The ongoing siege and conflict in Gaza has led to displacement of around 2 million Palestinians; hundreds and thousands are crammed into overcrowded shelters and hospitals, and are in desperate need for food, water, essential non-food items and medical & hygiene supplies.

———-

Mohammad and his extended family were displaced several times from their homes after their house has been destroyed, and now they are totally in need especially:

a- food

b- medicine

c- clothes

d- and also to reconstruct their homes
Support Our endeavors and efforts by donating to this campaign in order to help provide what we can do for them

Storia della campagna

Dal 7 ottobre, quando è iniziato il conflitto, sono morti più di 28.500 palestinesi, di cui oltre il 70% erano donne e bambini; circa 68.000 persone rimangono ferite. Circa 6.000 persone sono state uccise in nuovi attacchi contro Gaza dopo la scadenza della tregua di 7 giorni. Almeno 32.000 bambini hanno perso uno o entrambi i genitori negli attacchi e circa 30.000 sono rimasti feriti, alcuni dei quali in condizioni critiche.

Il tasso di mortalità giornaliero a Gaza è più alto di qualsiasi altro grande conflitto del 21° secolo; ogni giorno vengono uccisi circa 250 palestinesi e molte altre vite sono a rischio a causa della fame, delle malattie e del freddo.

L’assedio e il conflitto in corso a Gaza hanno portato allo sfollamento di circa 2 milioni di palestinesi; centinaia e migliaia di persone sono stipate in rifugi e ospedali sovraffollati e hanno un disperato bisogno di cibo, acqua, beni non alimentari essenziali e forniture mediche e igieniche.


Mohammad e la sua famiglia allargata sono stati sfollati più volte dalle loro case dopo che la loro casa è stata distrutta, e ora sono totalmente bisognosi, soprattutto:

a-cibo

b-medicine

c-vestiti

d- e anche soldi per ricostruire le loro case

Sostieni i nostri sforzi e sforzi donando a questa campagna per contribuire a fornire ciò che possiamo fare per loro
