Bio
We, Derek and Jenny, have finally arrived back in Gaza. Our journey here is documented in one of our posts, " By land or by sea........, and although we were not expecting "Plain sailing " it took a lot longer to get here than we hoped, but we made it and feel privileged to be here and to be able to share our journey so far and hopefully for the foreseeable future with you.
We all know the problems Gaza faces under an illegal blockade enforced by Israel and largely ignored by the International Governments. On arrival , we had many projects lined up , but since arriving we have seen for ourselves just how bad the situation really is and we are being asked more and more for help, There are many families living in poverty, fuel has all but run out, the promise of fuel from Egypt is a step but will not be enough to provide adequate living standards to many families. .Electricity is cut to 6 hours a day, many families have no generators or those that do are sparingly using fuel . Gaza is cold, wet and windy right now, and in the summer is hot and humid, and the suffering is to be seen everywhere. Please read our post " Darkness" for further information.
We will , in as much as possible work with everyone that asks for our help but we need your help to do this. We are not funded by Government or NGO, we support ourselves from whatever we may have earned working outside Gaza before entering and by donations via paypal.
We have a paypal/donate button on the right hand side of all of our posts, we are asking you for a donation of a once off, weekly, or monthly donation of 10 euro or whatever you can help with.
This donation allows us to continue to help the people of Gaza for as long as we can, we will try to stay as long as we are needed and we appreciate your support, financially and more importantly practically in sharing the blog and endeavouring to speak up and ensure justice and freedom for Palestinians..........
FOR PAYPAL TRANSFERS, PLEASE CLICK ON PAYPAL LINK ON TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER OF EACH POST.
If you do not have PayPal account or would rather donate direct to our bank account, Please contact us via email at , jennygraham7@gmail.com
