MAP in Gaza - July 2008

"The world is witnessing a terrible human rights crime in Gaza, where a million and a half human beings are being imprisoned with almost no access to the outside world. An entire population is being brutally punished" Former US President Jimmy Carter.  

MAP is on the ground in Gaza, with our office providing critically needed support to the most vulnerable Palestinians who are in desperate need due to the continued policy of siege. Thanks to our supporters in the UK we can continue to prevent greater humanitarian catastrophe by providing much needed medicines and equipment to hospitals, clinics and community centres.
