VIVA PALESTINA 5 is expected to grow and benefit more entrepreneurs over time. 2. EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN THROUGH “FAMILY AND SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION” Family and Society Development Association has a small factory making cakes and pastries, sewing embroideries and traditional clothes. It provides employment to 30 widows and women whose husbands are martyred or imprisoned. It is under financed and lacks expertise. We intend to assist technically and financially to make the business viable and provide employment to more women in the Jabalia Camp area. Funds required would be US$80,000. 3. SMALL INTEGRATED AGRICULTURAL ANIMAL HUSBANDRY PROJECT WITH “QURTOBAH CHARITABLE SOCIETY” The Israeli Siege on Gaza has created extreme shortages and high prices of vegetables and meats in Gaza. Gaza has ample fertile and vacant lands available for cultivation and establishment of animal farms which would also provide employment to Palestinians. There is a ready local market for the products, and the size of the project would be dependent on the funds available. We hope to provide US$140,000 for this project. 4. “THE ROOTS OF PALESTINIAN HERITAGE” WITH “OUR CHARITY HERITAGE SOCIETY” This project aims to produce and market products of Palestinian cultural heritage, like crafts and souvenirs, thus preserving and protecting Palestinian identity. At the same time, it provides employment to women and disabled persons to alleviate their economic sufferings. We plan to allocate US$30,000 for this project. 5. TRAINING OF DOCTORS FROM THE MEDICAL FACULTY OF ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY OF GAZA. This project aims to provide post-graduate training in various medical and surgical specialties in Malaysia for medical doctors in Gaza. Close liaison is undertaken with the Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA) to provide funding for this project. Aqsa Syarif listed the following projects in Gaza as requiring urgent attention and which they would immediately source funding: 1. Aid to the very poor in the district of Jabalia for 1 year (500 families) – USD 800,000 2. Water well drilling in Jabalia district – USD 150,000 3. Food plant center in the district of KhanYunis offering employment opportunities – USD 400,000 4. Dairy farm project in Jabalia and beitlahia (ongoing project) – USD 65,000 5. Loaf Bread factory in Jabalia and Beithahya – USD 80,000 6. Fish farm and Cattle farm – USD 100,000 Conclusions: The Gaza invasion is yet one more tragic story in a long, sad tragedy that has befallen a people whose story has been denied and distorted. Nelson Mandela (born 18 July 1918) the president of South Africa from 1994-1998, sums it well when he said,“it is the worst moral crisis of our times” 19 . Thus making it a humanitarian crisis; a colossal failure of our collective humanity. Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) one of the leading Jewish theologians and philosophers of the 20 th century adds “few are guilty but all are FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 132
VIVA PALESTINA 5 responsible”. He called on all concerned citizens to take on board the role of Biblical prophets who passionately advocated for the rights of the oppressed 20 . For the period 18 Sept – 25 Oct 2010, fourteen of us from Malaysia were blessed to be in the company of 366 volunteers from 30 nations on the Viva Palestina’s 5th Land Convoy ‘A Global Lifeline to Gaza’. It was simply extraordinary the love and passion which these ordinary convoy guys exhibited for Palestine. Driving 147 big trucks laden with USD 5 million worth of medical and educational aid for Gaza, the volunteers from several religious, national, ethnic and political backgrounds truly represented the universality and the camaraderie of humanity. The long haul from London to Gaza represented another humanitarian piece in the complex jig saw puzzle to end the siege on Gaza, to mainstream the rights of the Palestinians to equity, justice and self determination and the ultimate prospect of peace in the Middle East 21 . VP5 and all similar efforts that preceded it has mainstreamed the international character of efforts to end the longest military occupation in modern history, people driven out of their homes never allowed to return and dispossessed of all their property. It is the collective and sustained disgust at such irrational violence towards an entire people that has seen the dismantling of the apartheid regime in South Africa and the end of genocide in Rwanda. Yet again, civil society must take charge, where super-powers have failed the Palestinian people. The medical and humanitarian relief of VP5 ‘A Global Lifeline to Gaza’ is one of many international efforts to end the siege of Gaza; and transform the tragic course of history in Palestine.
