On the Global Day of Action to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, HI mourns the tragic loss of one of our dedicated team members, Nahla, and her four children on December 16th, 2023, while Nahla sought shelter in the Nuseirat area, in the Middle Area of Gaza.
The exact circumstances surrounding Nahla's loss remain unknown. Their house was reportedly hit by an explosion.
Nahla had been a dedicated livelihood officer at HI since July 2023, known for her strength, hard work, and the joy she found in her role as a mother.
The harsh reality persists that no corner in Gaza is immune to the indiscriminate bombings carried out by Israeli forces.
More than 18,800 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7th, with over 70% comprising children and women, as reported by the Gazan Ministry of Health.
This devastating cycle must come to an end.
In this moment of profound sorrow, our thoughts are with our colleagues in Gaza, many of whom continue their work amid multiple displacements and bombings.
We urgently reiterate our plea for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Humanity & Inclusion is launching a global campaign: "The Nobel Piece. Repairing peace, together." Twenty-eight years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize for civil society's relentless fight to ban anti-personnel mines, these weapons are on the rise again: massive use in recent armed conflicts, states withdrawing from the Ottawa Treaty, new mine production, etc. Faced with this urgent situation, HI will call on states to fulfil their responsibilities to comply with the Treaty and stop the return of these insidious weapons, which kill civilians in 90% of cases, by presenting them with fragments of the Nobel Prize – a symbol of peace that is now in pieces.
Seven Humanity & Inclusion staff have been awarded the Humanitarian Medal, approved by HM The King, for their lifesaving work in Gaza. They are the first Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to receive the award.
Double amputee Ayman can move again freely with the support of Humanity & Inclusion.
