FREE GAZA NOW!

Approximately 3.4 million people are living on a small strip of land surrounded by walls enforced upon them by the State of Israel. Much of their everyday life is dictated by Israel including what goes in or out. Many of the children are malnourished and several Aid Groups have reported that the living conditions are very inhumane. This needs to stop and their are many who are trying to stop it

This video is from GISHA, an Israeli not-for-profit organization, founded in 2005, whose goal is to protect the freedom of movement of Palestinians, especially Gaza residents. Gisha promotes rights guaranteed by international and Israeli law.



Israel dictates what is allowed in and out of Gaza. For example:
Prohibited Items are sage, chocolate, fresh meat, wood for construction and cement. Permitted Items being diapers, frozen meat, salt, rice and sugar. To see more of the list see what GISHA has posted.

Beautiful video of some Gaza culture ... Enjoy:
