GAZA: ONE YEAR LATER 🚨💔 365 days of crisis... In 2012, a United Nations report questioned if #Gaza would be a livable place by 2020, pointing to population growth and the Israeli blockade. Now, in 2024, there remains little doubt that conditions inside Gaza have become truly unlivable. It's been a year full of tragedy and grief. While it can oftentimes feel hopeless, your donations, your advocacy, and your prayers have made an impact. The people of #Palestine need your help now more than ever 📢 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

Almost nothing remains of Gaza’s medical infrastructure.❗️ The crisis has seen an increase in the spread of disease among displaced communities, with the most common health issues reported being skin diseases and intestinal problems. Poor nutrition, unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation, and the crowded conditions of camps are all contributing factors. 📌 In August, polio re-emerged in #Gaza for the first time in 25 years due to the desperate conditions. Lives are at stake, and the need for urgent support has never been greater. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

🔴 One year later, over 41,000 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured or deemed missing, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. A recent study in The Lancet, a peer-reviewed general medical journal, has found the true death toll could reach more than 186,000 people. To add, a ‘total blockade’ has been put in place, cutting off 2 million civilians from access to food, electricity, and fuel. While issues related to the delivery of humanitarian aid persist, IRUSA partners are continuing to work on the ground providing crucial aid. Continue your support for #Gaza ❗️ https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX #Palestine #PrayforPalestine #AllEyesonGaza

The attack on the health system has been particularly devastating. 🚨 One year since the beginning of this escalation, a staggering 41,000 people have been killed and more than 95,000 have been wounded due to relentless aerial and ground bombardment. With many still unaccounted for, we fear the actual figures could be far higher. 📌 A July 2024 study in The Lancet, a peer-reviewed general medical journal, has found the true death toll could reach more than 186,000 people. Your help is crucial in providing essential medical care and relief to those affected. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

DONATE NOW ❗️ https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

🚨🚨 #HurricaneHelene made landfall on September 26 on Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane, leaving a path of destruction over 500 miles long. At least 180 people have been killed across six states including South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. Florida, the Carolinas, and Tennessee specifically have sustained major infrastructure damage and roads and bridges remain closed days after the storm. Currently, around 2.1 million people are without power. IRUSA’s DMT is working to deploy staff and volunteers to perform muck outs of damaged homes to remove anything contaminated during the #hurricane including furniture, drywall, etc., to prevent mold. 🔴 irusa.org/Hurricane-Helene
