Durant els últims cinc anys IBBY ha estat donant suport a dues biblioteques per a infants i joves a Gaza a través IBBY Children in Crisis Fundation.
L’IBBY i totes les seves seccions, creiem que els llibres poden construir ponts d’entesa i la pau entre les persones. Els companys de Gaza són els nostres amics i col·legues, gent com nosaltres que ens agrada, que creiem que a través dels bons llibres i la lectura podem canviar el nostre futur i contribuir a la comprensió entre les persones.
Conforme passa el temps la situació a Gaza i en la vida dels infants i de les seves famílies s’agreuja – estan atrapats. Aquesta guerra abominable s’ha d’aturar!
Aquí teniu el missatge que ens acaba d’arribar, aquest matí, dels companys i companyes de Palestina. Sisplau, compartiu la notícia.
IBBY Libraries in Gaza/ Israeli Aggression
Dear friends
The two IBBY library areas that are border areas (Rafah and Beit Hanoun) have been heavily bombarded by Israeli military, thousands of Palestinians living there have been displaced. The two areas are now military zones after the Israeli land invasion. PBBY received this message from the librarian in Beit Hanoun, Abla Hassan, about the situation there before she was displaced two days. (It is getting worse):
The al-Ata’ community based centre that hosts the library has been targeted and very badly damaged. The children court yard has been destroyed as well as books, computers, windows and walls. As to houses of the children who use the library, three houses have been completely destroyed and thirty houses partially destroyed. The number of children or their family members killed is not known yet.
No known news about the library in al-Shawka – Rafah. All families are displaced including the librarian Mahmoud who left two days ago and described the situation it was ‘horrific tens of civilians killed and tens of houses destroyed no specific news about the situation of the children using the library and the library building.
