In a territory twice the size of the District of Columbia, more than 1.9 million people live in what is known as the world’s largest open-air prison. In the Gaza Strip, the past 10 years of blockade have had devastating impacts on all aspects of daily life – education, employment, health, housing, health facilities.

 

Palestinian children and youth are the most affected, growing up in conditions of deprivation and extreme economic and social distress. This is why, more than ever, their protection and education must be prioritized. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has been providing aid in education, health and mental health care, relief and social services, microcredit and emergency assistance to 1.3 million registered Palestinian refugees. However, due to the recent large cuts in donations, the organization’s operation is seriously undermined.

 

The purpose of the event is to foster solidarity and symbolic friendship between Switzerland and Palestine. We aim to raise awareness about the dreadful living conditions of Palestinians, and especially children, in Gaza, East Jerusalem and West Bank. The majority of the proceeds will be distributed to UNRWA for the education of Palestinian children. Your contribution, even if small, can help improve someone’s life.

 

Come and have a fun evening... with purpose!

Please register at wha@webster.ch until the 30th September.
