Emergency Aid for Jenin

On Monday in the darkness of the night, thousands of people stumbled in lines through the Jenin refugee camp, guiding each other through the twisted metal, churned-up concrete and spent ammunition littering the streets during a lull in Operation Home and Garden, Israel’s biggest offensive in the West Bank for 20 years.  Operation Home and Garden began with drone strikes and the deployment of at least one battalion of elite troops, aided by snipers and bulldozers, in the early hours of Monday, targeting what the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said was an important command centre for Palestinian militants.  Once again an unequal war has started and innocent Palestinians need help. “ “The neighbours came and told us that the snipers on the rooftops had said that we had two hours to leave, so about 9pm, we went,” said Umm Haitham Al Batawi, 66, waiting at Jenin’s chaotic general hospital on Tuesday. Our team is making its way to Jenin to provide essential aid and will be there as soon as possible and we will share regular updates. Please donate today.
