Every year living under occupation is a struggle for children in Palestine. But 2020 has been exceptionally hard.
Whether they are living under the threat of annexation in the West Bank, deprived of adequate healthcare in unliveable Gaza or struggling in overcrowded and unsanitary camps in Lebanon, the added threat of COVID-19 will be making their lives even harder. Yet, despite this extra layer of suffering, support like yours is giving Palestinian communities a reason to believe.
In densely populated Gaza, cases of community transmission of the virus are on the rise. In Lebanon, following the explosion in Beirut, there has been a staggering 180% increase. And, in the West Bank, fractured communities are dealing with a further 25,000 cases. MAP is responding to overwhelming medical needs affecting all three areas of operation simultaneously.
Our teams are working hard to prioritise infection control and protective equipment for health workers as we try to slow the spread of the virus.
A gift from you today means that we can keep up this momentum as well as safeguard our vital children’s services – neonatal, midwifery and malnutrition – so that the very youngest Palestinians are protected.
Your support is keeping the hopes of Palestinian children for the future alive. Please send a gift today. Thank you
