Two years on from the 2014 attacks on Gaza, the situation remains bleak for the territory's 1.8 million residents. As our latest infographic shows, the nine-year blockade and closure of Gaza has hampered reconstruction and devastated Gaza's economy, resulting in a humanitarian crisis which shows no sign of abating.
Last week, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) joined with other international organisations working in the occupied Palestinian territory to sound the alarm on the lack of progress in Gaza’s reconstruction as a result of Israel’s heavy restrictions on the entry of materials critical to the recovery process. We are calling for world leaders to live up to their commitments and press for an immediate end to the blockade.
Please help support our call for Gaza to finally be opened. Sign the petition today.
