After two years of relentless conflict, nearly 42,000 people in the Gaza Strip are living with life-changing injuries. Tragically, one in four victims are children. All these injuries need long-term rehabilitation, prosthetics, or specialised care. By signing the petition today, you are joining thousands to demand access to aid for the people of Gaza.
Some children that our teams are seeing have lost everything. They're living with serious injuries and dealing with the trauma of losing their parents. Most of them are struggling to cope.
"I have never faced such a dire situation. Children are so traumatised by the daily airstrikes that they can no longer sleep or speak. They have told us that they wish to die so that they can join their parents in heaven." says Anne-Claire Yaeesh, Programme Director Humanity & Inclusion.
Now a ceasefire has been agreed, it is time to scale up our activities and provide victims with the vital support they desperately need. Rehabilitation support is essential for survival and to rebuild lives.
"There is a very high demand for assistive devices and medical equipment. Our team of 100 people in Gaza is ready to deliver aid and services.
Most of them have been working around the clock over the past few months. Despite being exhausted by the war, being displaced and the lack of food, we have remained fully operational. Some areas are unreachable for security reasons, but we hope to deliver aid and services there in the coming days, as soon as we have access,"
Sign the petition to stand with the people of Gaza and demand immediate access to aid.
