SUMMARY:【Season of Giving Special Event】Dialogue on Humanitarian Assistance for Gaza and New Pathways to Peace
DESCRIPTION:For nearly 80 years\, the Palestinian issue has been defined by ongoing conflict\, occupation\, and hardship\, profoundly affecting the stability of both the Middle East and the wider international community. The situation has further deteriorated since October 2023. In Gaza\, a severe humanitarian crisis continues\, with reports indicating that more than 69\,000 people have lost their lives\, over 20\,000 of whom were children.\n\nAlthough a ceasefire agreement was reached in October 2025\, attacks have persisted\, and living conditions remain extremely critical. Many displacement camps lack even the most basic necessities\, particularly access to safe drinking water and other essential supplies. In addition to these urgent needs\, efforts and initiatives needed to advance sustainable peace are still far from sufficient.\n\nAmid these circumstances\, Accept International has been delivering humanitarian assistance in displacement camps in northern Gaza\, and has supported more than 14\,000 people to date. Alongside humanitarian aid\, we have also been facilitating a new dialogue track that involves Palestinian youth\, including conflict actors\, to overcome internal divisions and help create new pathways toward peace.\n\nIn this event\, Dr. Yosuke Nagai\, Executive Director of Accept International\, together with a Palestinian youth leader\, will share insights on the current situation in Palestine and our ongoing efforts on the ground. We will also discuss what is needed to build a lasting peace for Palestine and invite participants to actively join and support this movement.\n\n \nRegister Now\n \n▼Event Details\n▷Date：Sat.
