On the Agenda

It’s been another horrific year of death and destruction, as Israel continued its genocidal assault on the Palestinians. B’Tselem continues to play an important role in the global fight to stop the horror: by documenting facts on the ground, gathering firsthand accounts and identifying policy patterns, we call these crimes for what they are and tell the world. Help us stand up for justice, equality and shared humanity. Please join our crowdfunding campaign and spread the word. Choose to resist.

Due to the complete destruction that the genocidal Israeli attack caused to the infrastructure of the Gaza Strip, as well as to its sewage and drainage systems, the recent November rainfall flooded the displacement camps: approximately 13,000 tents were destroyed, and more than 740,000 people were affected by the storm damage. Rainwater mixed with raw sewage, creating fertile ground for infection and disease, and leaving hundreds of thousands without basic shelter. Children were documented in summer clothing and barefoot in the cold due to the lack of warm clothes.
