I'm Cycling for Freedom...
2019 marks 12 years of the blockade on Gaza, which affects every aspect of life for the almost 2 million Palestiniansliving in the strip who are unable to leave the territory, and 75% of whom are internally displaced refugees. In addition to the siege, Israel has launched three major military operations on the besieged territory since 2008. The most recent, and deadly, operation took place in 2014 and killed over 2,200 Palestinians, including 500 children, and left many more thousands with life changing injuries. These bombing campaigns and the ongoing blockade have crippled Gaza’s economy and the freedoms of the Palestinians living there, have caused widespread destruction and left the population to suffer from shortages in essentials like food, water, electricity and medical care. As of 2018, 96% of the water in Gaza was undrinkable and electricity supply was reduced from 8 to 4 hours per day.
With up to 50% of the population under the age of 18, children are disproportionately impacted by the dire situation in Gaza. An entire generation of Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip suffer from both physical conditions and life changing injuries, as well as mental health disorders as a result of desperate living conditions and repeated exposure to war and violence. The lack of access to adequate health services in Gaza has resulted in thousands of children in need of specialized care that they cannot get locally.
Cycling4Freedoms will focus on Freedom of movement and Freedom to access healthcare, both of which are enshrined in the United Nation’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as stipulated in Article 13 and 25 respectively. The lack of freedom of movement experienced by the people of Gaza takes many forms, and curtails people’s freedom to access healthcare in a number of ways:
We aim to address these issues and raise awareness in partnership with the PCRF by sponsoring the following projects:
