Donations play a key role in alleviatin­g the suffering of the Palestinia­n people, a way in which you can make a real tangible difference.

MAP has been working in Palestine for 40 years, and are working tirelessly under the most tiring circumstan­ces to ensure people get the healthcare they need and deserve.

This is often at the risk of death.

Cole-Hamilton and when Israel allows humanitari­an aid to enter unfettered, through land crossings – and not through small-scale airdrops – will a sufficient response begin. It is essential that world leaders understand the gravity of the situation in Gaza and do more to pressure Israel to act.

Time is running out and hundreds of thousands of people’s lives depend on it.

However, a ceasefire alone is not enough. Returning to the status quo is not an option. The root causes that have fuelled this latest escalation in violence, including Israel’s 17-year illegal closure and blockade of Gaza, must be addressed comprehens­ively.

Only then can any semblance of Palestinia­ns’ rights to health and dignity be restored. As well

Since October 7, 2023, at least 340 healthcare workers have been killed while more than 160 others have been detained, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

The least their bravery deserves is the medication and equipment they need to do their job. Please donate at www.map.org.uk/donate/donationde­tails/516 – we have a duty to the people of Gaza at their greatest time of need. as addressing the political barriers, donations play a crucial role in alleviatin­g the suffering of the Palestinia­n people, and rebuilding the shattered healthcare infrastruc­ture. Financial support is not only a lifeline for those affected, but also a powerful expression of solidarity. Your support can help to address critical health needs in the immediate and long-term future.

MAP has been serving the Palestinia­n people for 40 years, including for more than a quarter of a century in Gaza, and we will continue to ensure people get the healthcare they have a right to for as long as we are needed.

We all have a duty to support the people of Gaza and the time for action is now.

Children are bearing the brunt of this crisis
