Palestine: At least 240 killed in airstrikes
Having once again faced a dangerous escalation in violence, with hundreds killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, including 66 children, and more than 1,900 people wounded. Islamic Relief condemns all violence against civilians and calls for respect for international humanitarian law. With a ceasefire now in place, Islamic Relief teams are working tirelessly to support the thousands of Palestinians affected.
Save Palestine – our sisters and brothers across Palestine right now are suffering from violent attacks.
Thousands of lives and homes across Gaza have been destroyed by the bombing. Initial assessments in Gaza show more than 13,500 homes have been destroyed or damaged by bombing, and at least 50 schools and 17 health facilities have been damaged.
After many years of conflict, Palestinians still feel unsafe in their own country. The economy has been damaged by political instability and constant conflict. The blockades cause chaos on a daily basis.
