In response to the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, please see the below statement from George Graham, Executive Director for Humanity & Inclusion UK:
"We hope this long overdue ceasefire will save lives and provide an opportunity for communities to heal and rebuild. For 15 months, families have been torn apart and lives shattered. Our experts on the ground have witnessed the devastation experienced by civilians in Gaza: mass deaths and injuries leading to permanent disabilities, homes and other buildings destroyed, displacement again and again, and psychological trauma that will impact generations.
There are immediate and long-term humanitarian needs. It is imperative that emergency supplies, food, healthcare and more reach Palestinians in need; and that humanitarian aid workers are able to deliver that aid without delay."
Humanity & Inclusion has been working in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since 1996, providing rehabilitation, psychosocial support, access to education and adaptation of homes for people with disabilities.
Since October 2023, HI's local teams have provided emergency medical care and psychological first aid, distributed hygiene kits and taught people how to stay as safe as possible from bombings and explosive contamination.
Over the last 15 months, three HI employees have been killed during the conflict. HI's office in Gaza City and a storage warehouse have also been destroyed.
HI is collecting donations to support its work in Gaza at: https://www.humanity-inclusion.org.uk/en/gaza-crisis
