Just come along or, if you want to know more, contact Jennifer or Jo.

Last week we were able to get through to Al-Mawasi through a Zoom call. Our friends confirmed that all schools remain closed; the children are being denied their right to education for a third year in a row. "We don't have books or stationery. There is no paper available in Gaza, or printers." The resilience committee wants to help volunteer teachers, to give them a small stipend, and provide some snacks for the children. From the reports we got on the call it's clear that the situation remains as bad as ever. Mass displacement orders are sending hundreds of thousands more people to Al-Mawasi from Gaza city, but there are no tents to buy at all.

"There isn't much to buy in the market and what they do have is very expensive. The aid trucks are looted before they reach us." There is no gas left so they only have wood to cook on for hot meals. The sense of exhaustion and despair among those we heard from was palpable. There was a positive note when we were told of the forthcoming wedding of a local couple later in the month. They are preparing for this as best that they can and are looking forward to it.

Israel is continuing to intensify its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, including by raining bombs down on Gaza City as part of its invasion and ethnic cleansing of the city. Famine has been declared throughout Gaza due to Israel's blockade. The British government remains deeply complicit in Israel's atrocities through its arms trade and military collaboration with Israel. More information. Catch the 10.31 Hastings train to London.
