AFSC Warns of Worsening Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
RSVP AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
Event Description:
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has a long history in Gaza, starting refugee camps in 1948 for about two years, before the UN created UNRWA. Today, 76 years down the road, the AFSC continues to work in Gaza, and the question of Palestinian refugees has not been resolved yet. The webinar will highlight the work of the AFSC in Gaza over history including today and how life in Gaza has changed after October 7.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
Yousef Aljamal is the Gaza coordinator at the Palestine Activism Program at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). Aljamal is a refugee from Al-Nusierat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. He recently received his PhD at the Middle East Institute at Sakarya University in Turkey. He can be contacted at [email protected]

We will be recognizing the icons of social justice that were integral in founding ICUJP 23 years ago: Reverend James Lawson, Dr. Maher Hathout, Rabbi Leonard Beerman, and Rev. George Regas. We will also be honoring the current generation of leaders calling for justice and peace, including Hedab Tarifi and Tahil Sharma.
Stay tuned for more details on this great event!
Co-sponsors:
Only days after the devastating 9/11 attacks, the late Rev. George F. Regas brought together Christians, Jews, Muslims, Quakers, humanists and people of many faiths and beliefs to establish Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, with the mission that Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.
Since its founding 22 years ago, ICUJP has remained true to George's vision, holding over 1,000 Friday Forums with speakers from all over the world, and engaging in a wide range of activities to advance the struggle for justice and peace.
The event is free, but we would appreciate voluntary donations of $25, $50 or $100 per person. See below regarding Sponsorship packages.
ICUJP operates as a largely volunteer organization with a small part-time paid staff. The annual Rev. George F. Regas Courageous Peacemaker Awards event is our primary fundraising activity of the year.

George Regas, or the inspiring work of the extraordinary individuals and organizations we are honoring, or the over 22 years of important work done by ICUJP
