In 2012, the United Nations forecasted that Gaza, Palestine may be unlivable by 2020. For the nearly 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, Israel’s persecution and collective punishment has already made life there unbearable.
#Gaza2020 Unliveable is a campaign promoted by the Palestine Information Network (PIN) to highlight the herculean challenges facing Palestinians living in the Occupied Gaza Strip at the onset of the year 2020, and the urgent need to affirm and restore the rights, hopes and dignity of these inhabitants. The choice of the onset of 2020 for the launching of this campaign is inspired by the leading question of the aforementioned 2012 United Nations report that probed whether Gaza will be liveable in 2020.
The campaign is focused on bringing awareness to the gravity of the situation, and is a call to action to all concerned individuals, organisations, institutions and governments to engage in all appropriate action to restore dignity and seek accountability.
The following are additional resources to understand the crisis in Gaza in its full context.
