Volunteer to help Palestinians
I know this isn't a typical gap year type question but like most sane minded people I'm absolutely horrified seeing whats happening in Gaza and the West Bank right now and feel powerless to help. Rather than just doing nothing I really want to do something, either there or in England or anywhere really. I realise going to Gaza isn't an option but is there a way to volunteer in the West Bank or somewhere to do anything to help? Even online?
It is absolutely horrifying what Israel is doing in Gaza isn't it :/
Entering/volunteering in Gaza is not possible, they won't even let journalists in to see what is happening and I don't even recommend gap year programs in Israel for the foreseeable future!
If you want to help in the West Bank view this guide to volunteering in Palestine with some organisations.
Another option is to donate to humanitarian orgs like:
Medical Aid for Palestinians
Red Cross
Unicef
Islamic Relief UK
Disasters Emergency Committee
Save the Children
