Gaza news, humanitarian crises, and the solution in five steps

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is one of the most pressing issues facing our world today. With over two million people living in a strip of land just 25 miles long and 7 miles wide, Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007 that restricts access to basic necessities like food, water, medicine and fuel. This blockade has had devastating effects on the population’s health and wellbeing. 

In recent months, tensions between Israel and Palestine have risen due to continued airstrikes by both sides which have caused extensive destruction across Gaza as well as civilian casualties. The situation is dire with no end in sight for those suffering from this conflict-induced humanitarian crisis. 

Fortunately there are steps we can take to help alleviate some of these issues faced by Gazans

 1) Provide Aid: There are numerous organizations providing aid relief such as UNICEF or Save the Children who need donations so they can continue helping those affected by this conflict-induced disaster receive essential supplies like food or medical assistance;  


 2) Advocate for Change: We must speak out against human rights violations occurring within Gaza's borders; contact your elected representatives or sign petitions demanding action be taken against the ongoing violence perpetrated against Palestinians;  

 3) Support Local Businesses & NGOs: By supporting local businesses you will help create jobs while contributing towards economic development efforts which will benefit all Gazans regardless of political affiliation; similarly donating money directly to charities working on ground level projects helps support their cause more effectively than large scale international charity organizations may be able do alone ;   

 4) Educate Yourself & Others About Conflict Resolution Strategies : Learning about different strategies used during conflicts such as nonviolent resistance techniques allows us better understand how best we might contribute towards resolution efforts without resorting violence ourselves ;    

 5 ) Open Communication Channels Between Both Sides : Encourage dialogue between Israelis & Palestinians via social media platforms , online forums , etc . Allowing each side state their grievances openly without fear retribution encourages understanding thus leading toward peace .
