Palestinians are facing economic meltdown as a result of Israel's illegal Occupation of their land. The system of checkpoints and closures in the West Bank has brought the Palestinian economy to its knees.

We need your help today to support people in Palestine in their quest for a better life. Your donation will enable War on Want to extend its work with local organisations at this crucial time for the Palestinian people.

Palestinian communities in the West Bank are being threatened and harassed on a daily basis. Many are now at breaking point: children blocked from school, men and women cut off from their workplaces, families split apart.

By donating £40 you could help us to support more people in Palestine this Christmas. Your money will enable us to work with local communities and women's groups in the West Bank and Gaza, giving them the skills and tools to create a better future for themselves and their children.
