Trócaire presents webinars on life under blockade in Gaza

Source: Trócaire

As we continue to face the daily challenges of living in a pandemic, it could be easy to forget that in Gaza, an area smaller than County Louth - or Sussex - two million Palestinians have been living under an Israeli blockade for the past 14 years.

This blockade is denying them their basic human rights, and pushing a humanitarian crisis to a tipping point.

With this in mind, Trócaire, on behalf of their friends in CIDSE - the international family of Catholic social justice organisations - is hosting two webinars, examining life under blockade, for young people, and for women. Follow the links below for full information and registration details. Please note the times are advertised as CET (Central European Time).
