Caritas International in Belgium
About
Since the attack by Hamas on October 7 2023, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has escalated. Israel launched a large-scale military offensive against HAMAS in the Gaza Strip, where more than two million people live in an open-air prison. This offensive has already resulted in tens of thousands of casualties, including adults and children.
