 Ahed Tamimi - Wonder Woman

 Picture
Fifty years ago, Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick first shared his now-famous black-and-red poster print of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara with the world. This time, the subject of his art isn’t a revolutionary leader, like Guevara. It’s a 17-year-old Palestinian girl: Ahed Tamimi. A new print published on Fitzpatrick’s site—which is available to download for free—hails her as the “real Wonder Woman,” and the artist hopes it becomes as far spread as his earlier work.

Statement from the UNRWA Commissioner General, Pierre Krähenbül, on Gaza
May 22, 2018
 UNRWA released a report on the aftermath of the weeks of protests and marches here in the Gaza Strip and the appalling impact of the events that followed. The reports notes 3 important concerns:
  1. much of the world completely underestimates the extent of the disaster in human terms that occurred in the Gaza Strip since the marches began on 30 March. 
  2. a direct consequence of the number of injured and nature of wounds, has been to bring the health-care system in Gaza to a breaking point.
  3. seeing the hundreds of demonstrators with severe injuries, ...it was clear that many will live with life-long disabilities. This means the entire health system in Gaza must prepare for a major upsurge in terms of post-operatic care and in particular with physical rehabilitation needs. This includes the UNRWA clinics and physiotherapy centers.
Donations to UNRWA may be made through the United Church of Canada.
