A bundle hosted by Oak Grove Games by Esther Wallace with content from 140 creators.
In response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza and occupied Palestine, we're creating this bundle to raise funds for the organization Medical Aid For Palestinians. All funds raised will go to the organization.
From the organization's website: "MAP's vision is a future where all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable and locally-led system of healthcare, and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity.
Through our programmes in the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon, we work with trusted and experienced local partners to achieve this vision. Our programmes, designed and delivered by Palestinians, provide access to essential health services and build local knowledge and skills to address Palestinian health problems. In times of humanitarian emergency, we are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance.
MAP is also committed to bearing witness to the injustices caused by occupation, displacement and conflict. We speak out in the UK and internationally, and ensure Palestinian voices are heard at the highest levels, to press for the political and social barriers to Palestinian health and dignity to be addressed." This bundle will run for two weeks, from October 26th-November 9th, 2023.
Not sure where you get your information but life expectancy in Gaza for sits around 74 years. Compare that to 77 for USA, 70 for Egypt, 70 for Mexico, 76 for Saudi Arabia, 75 for Jordan, 74 for Morocco, 67 for India, 71 for Mongolia, 76 for Turkey, and so on. Chad has the worst life expectancy at around 52 years of age. No one has a life expectancy less than 18. That just doesn't exist anywhere on planet Earth.
That's not to say that there's not room for improvement but certainly Gaza has a better than average rate of life expectancy as the world average is around 72 years. Consider this, an Aboriginal man in Australia has a worse life expectancy than a man in Gaza which speaks a lot to our own internal issues about how we value and treat our Aboriginal population. Anyways, food for thought.
