oPt: “My soul is tired”: Islamic Relief highlights worsening plight of the Palestinian people 10 December, 2020 - 11:40
Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: Islamic Relief
Humanitarian aid is a lifeline but cannot singlehandedly end suffering, warns Islamic Relief.
Islamic Relief is highlighting the plight of Palestinians who are being pushed to the edge by the Covid-19 pandemic, adding to the pressures created by years of occupation, blockade and conflict. The Israeli occupation has spanned over 50 years, with devastating effects on every aspect of life in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, says Muneeb Abu-Ghazaleh, country director of Islamic Relief Palestine. Restrictions often dictate whether Palestinians can earn a living, access their farmland, attend a protest and even receive water and electricity. Conditions are particularly dire in Gaza, which is almost totally cut off from the rest of the world.

Amnesty International has accused Airbnb of benefiting from Israeli settlements at the expense of the Palestinians, ahead of the San Francisco-based company’s long-awaited debut on the public market Thursday.
The human rights group also said the home-sharing company which appeared on a UN blacklist of firms that operate in the West Bank in February 2020 did not disclose its operations in settlements in registering for its IPO.
Airbnb allows both Palestinians and Jewish settlers in the West Bank to list their properties on its site and said last year it would give the profits from those rentals to charity.
