In the early morning of the 23rd January, over 350,000 Palestinians surged into Egypt from the Gaza Strip after parts of the border wall were destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of Gazans rushed over the border, some frantically searching for loved ones, most desperate for food and fuel, which due to blockades on Gaza’s borders are in short supply. The chaos only highlights the extreme hardship endured by the Palestinian people. Approximately 1.5 million people are living under conditions of siege. Most are living well below the poverty line of US $2 dollars per day with little access to the basic necessities such as fuel, food, electricity and medicine. (interpal.org)
I think it's time we started thinking about the Palestinians about all the people in the world suffering.
It's time we started doing something that will help and benefit them. Living in Britain we have many comforts. We live life to the full not worrying about a single thing. We eat as much as we want and waste as much as we want. Once in a year we will remember those in need and give them money, clothes etc and then we forget them completely and utterly.
I think recent horrific events which have taken place in Palestine has given many of us a wake up call, and this is were 'Tears For Justice' comes in. As young British citizens we believe we can help make a change. As a matter of fact it is our duty to help those out there who are suffering, and that is exactly what 'Tears for justice' will be doing. We will be holding many events and all money raised will be going to the charity, which solely helps Palestinians called 'Interpal'.
