The challenges of living in Gaza are numerous and there has been little
improvement in relieving the difficult circumstances that the people of
Gaza often find themselves in. The conflict and blockade continue to
impact on lives, as seen in widespread levels of food and financial
insecurity, health problems and lack of psycho-social well-being. To
inform us more on these challenges and their impact on the Gaza
population, a delegation of three Palestinian refugee women from Gaza
has been invited to Brussels by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation to share
with us their experiences of life in Gaza. We hope that you will able to
join the discussion and look forward to welcoming you.
* Sandwiches and refreshments will be offered.
