HI joins over 50 other NGOs in an urgent call on world leaders to protect UNRWA from the dangerous attacks it faces due to recent bills passed by the Israeli Government. UNRWA provides crucial education, healthcare, and social services to millions of refugees. This reckless move threatens to dismantle the backbone of the international humanitarian operation in #Gaza, aggravating an already catastrophic crisis. ➡️ Read the full appeal at: https://lnkd.in/ebv86RdN

Humanity & Inclusion works alongside people with disabilities and survivors of disaster and conflict.
About us
Co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, Humanity & Inclusion is a 40-year-old independent and impartial organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and populations living in extreme circumstances, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. With local partners, we run programs in health and rehabilitation and social and economic integration. We work with local authorities to clear landmines and other war debris and to prevent mine-related accidents through education. We respond quickly and effectively to natural and civil disasters in order to limit serious and permanent injuries and to assist survivors' recovery and reintegration. We advocate for the universal recognition of the rights of people with disabilities through national planning and advocacy. Humanity & Inclusion is the world's most comprehensive mine action charity. The heart of this action is victim assistance—this was our beginning in 1982—but teams also prevent injuries through weapons and landmine clearance, risk education activities, stockpile management, and advocacy to ban landmines and cluster bombs. The U.S. National Association of Humanity & Inclusion is a 501(c)(3) organization and a member of the Humanity & Inclusion network, which includes the Humanity & Inclusion headquarters in Lyon, France, eight national associations, and the HI Institute.
