DEC Gaza Crisis Appeal

Leading UK aid agencies made an appeal on Thursday (22 Jan) for urgently needed funds to help ease the desperate plight of people affected by the conflict in Gaza.

Launching the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Gaza Crisis Appeal, chief executive Brendan Gormley said that the devastation wrought in the Gazan territory was so huge that British aid agencies were compelled to act.

More than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in the recent conflict, and many thousands have been injured, overwhelming local hospitals.

The destruction has left people without homes and many children without schooling; power, food and water supplies are insufficient to cover the population’s needs.
