Listen to my Audio interview with Nour Alshaer of Gaza Solidarity Aid by Mohammed Albaz, OrganizerHello friends,We'd like to provide an update on what we've been working on in the past month. The situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly with ongoing threats to life, including extreme food insecurity (reaching the level of famine), continued lack of access to potable water, hygiene facilities and supplies, and harsh winter weather. These challenges are ever present amidst the ongoing bombings and massacres of civilians.We have continued to distribute food packages and meals to displaced families, hygiene packs for girls and women that include sanitary pads, and also baby care packs containing diapers and infant formula. We've also been distributing flour packages so that families can bake bread.Given the wet and cold winter weather we expanded our aid to include winter clothing and have been distributing more blankets to help people stay warm.The list below outlines the types and volumes of aid that have been distributed since our last update a month ago:+ 4,000 cooked meals+ 1,856 food packages+ 1,500 produce baskets+ 1,000 flour packages+ 800 hygiene packs (includes sanitary pads)+ 1,600 baby care packs (includes diapers and formula)+ 65 tents constructed+ 14 mattresses+ 2,600 blankets+ 1,900 pieces of winter clothingWe've also distributed 8,000 liters of drinking water to date (we forgot to mention this in our previous update, but will include it in our project stats going forward).To our donors, past and prospective – We can't thank you enough for your support and interest in our project. Please consider giving again (if you've already donated) and/or share this fundraiser with others to support the ongoing and intensifying humanitarian needs in Gaza.Please check out the short video we created below to give you a glimpse of our project operations on the ground – with big thanks to Nour and our volunteer team for their continued hard work despite difficult circumstances and suffering their own losses.We'd also like to share a few recent photos that show our team distributing blankets and winter clothing to families.Stay tuned for our next update, and thank you all again!Please check out the their Instagram page And please donate https://www.instagram.com/gaza_solidarity/www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-food-and-supplies-for-gaza Subscribe like share linktr.ee/JabariVOCPodcasthttps://anchor.fm/jamarr-jabari --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jabarivocpodcast/support

Sport's role in a turbulent world - how the Palestinian men's team represents more than football, the role of dialogue in trying to find peace, India's influence at the ICC and its adhoc approach to membership, plus is sport for refugees authentic or an exercise in celebrity humanitarianism?
Yet another roadblock for people displaced by this year's summer storms. Earlier this month, the government established an assistance package for people unable to get back into their homes after the North Island weather events. It provided up to $610 a week to help with the cost of renting another home. But the package only covers displaced homeowners, leaving people with property held in trusts to fend for themselves, without any explanation as to why. Tom Taylor reports

Leaving home is never easy—especially when discrimination, xenophobia, and cultural barriers await you in your new destination. In this episode, Zero Hour™ speaks with two leaders who are working to not only ease the transition for migrants and displaced people, but to also connect them with vital HIV services and resources. Our guests are: Denis Onyango, a grassroots activist who organizes HIV testing, prevention, and peer support services through his role as Programs Director for the Africa Advocacy Foundation. He reflects on how losing his brother and three sisters to AIDS spurred his focus on HIV activism, as well as the harsh realization that the care they went without was widely available in other parts of the world. Isjed Hussain, founder of the Prisma Group Foundation, which supports bicultural and Muslim LGBTQ people in the Netherlands. They explain how Prisma helps refugees to navigate the asylum process and how they assist refugees living with HIV. This podcast was created and fully funded by Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
Over 100 million people are displaced worldwide. That's the equivalent of the 14th biggest country in the globe. The world seems to be in a refugee crisis and yet for some, like Social Impact Pioneer, Dale Buscher – there are practical pragmatic solutions, developed over decades of lived experience. Dale's professional journey reaches back to 1988. His extensive experience includes supporting refugees from Vietnam to Haiti, Bosniak refugees in Croatia, displaced Kurds in Northern Iraq, and many more. During our conversation Dale explains how situations and circumstances surrounding any one person who is forcibly displaced is complex, nuanced and dynamic. Navigating these challenges requires a deep understanding of the refugee experience itself but the experience of Dale and his colleagues means that there is support, guidance and time-tested help available. Enter the all-encompassing guide: "Building Livelihoods: A Field Manual for Practitioners in Humanitarian Settings." Dale's robust background, including advising the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and authoring the field handbook "Operational Protection in Camps and Settlements," ensures his insights are practical, steeped in lived experience, and transformative. And be ready to hear Dale share why the Refugee Self-Reliance Initiative - a joint effort by the Women's Refugee Commission – where Dale is currently Vice President of Programs and RefugePoint is a vital programme in helping promote a future where refugees regain financial independence and understand self-resilience. Whether you're a humanitarian practitioner, a supporter of refugee rights, whether you are displaced or a listener with a desire for deeper understanding, this podcast is your compass in the intricate landscape of refugee support and self-reliance. This podcast is more than a manual; it's a portal into the reality of humanitarian aid, the importance of self-reliance, and the tangible ways we can contribute to building a better future for displaced individuals. So, tune in, and let Dale Buscher guide you through the challenges and real-life experiences of supporting refugees around the globe.

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
Why is financial inclusion for displaced people a problem? If you are a migrant or a refugee, if you have left your home due to forced reasons, and you arrive in another country, chances are that financial services are not accessible to you. The lack of an ID card or the lack of recognition of the ID card provided to you is a barrier; the lack of your credit history and collateral are additional barriers; language differences and stereotypes; as well as the lack of information from financial service providers will all hold you back from getting access to financial services. And the consequences are that you may not be able to get a job, pay your taxes or set up your own enterprise. And yet, as we will hear in this podcast, improving financial services for displaced people, unlocks a wealth of economic and social growth for this population, as well as benefits and gains for the countries that hosts them. Meet Social Impact Pioneers Micol Pistelli and Ricardo Martin Garcia Tafur who have been working tirelessly to develop better financial service models for forcibly displaced people. Financial services that help migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, as well as internal displaced people to get contributing to their local host communities and economies. Micol is a Senior Financial Inclusion Coordinator at UNHCR, The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees – which has the mandate to help and protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people around the world. Whilst Ricardo is a Senior Operations Officer at the IFC and UNHCR Joint Initiative that fosters private sector engagement into forced displacement contexts at the International Finance Corporation (the IFC) which is part of the World Bank Group. Both are deeply focused on building financial and economic inclusion of forcibly displaced populations. During this podcast conversation Micol and Ricardo roll up the blind on the economic case for having better financially integrated people in host communities. They explain: “If people migrating into your area are economically contributing to your area, paying their taxes and putting their efforts back into your community – there can be positives for everyone.” Together they have been working directly with financial service providers across South America – the data that they have collected reveals the challenges facing migrants and, also the market opportunities that open, if forcibly displaced people are better served. Get ready to hear very practical ways for banks and other financial service providers to better support migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, while maximizing the gains and benefits for the financial sectors in their host countries. From designing and implementing tailored and people-centered value propositions, to sensitization and breaking paradigms, to recruitment opportunities and service delivery. Listen in to hear more.

The Hebrew Bible is not the same thing as the Imperial Christian Old Testament (though it's very similar to the protestant version), but there are many different ways people draw value from these books.The Torah is not the same thing as the Old Testament: it is the 5 books classically attributed to Moses. For some who adhere to an Abrahamic faith, the Torah is the only scripture; for others, the testimonies of prophets and historians are also invaluable.The Hebrew Bible is often called the Tanakh, which isn't a word, but an acronym for Torah-Neviim-Ketuvim (Law, Prophets, and all the other writings). Calling it a bible is misleading; it's a library--a very small library of the greatest literature that defined a nation--a small Mediterranean nation that eventually influenced the entire world. To say that "the Bible" is the infallible word of God is to deny the obvious inconsistencies and material contradictions. To say that it is the complete word of God is to deny the obvious appeals to external authoritative texts. To say that it is the literal word of God is to deny the obvious editorial history and the skill of the genuine authors. We outline the various major textual traditions (the Greek Septuagint and the Hebrew Masoretic text), as well as the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Apocrypha (or Deuterocanon), and several pseudepigraphal writings. We look at rejected books that might hope to belong, and we cite books that were abridged into the biblical histories and have since been lost.All this and more...To witness Katie's first Bible Study (a mini-series), support us on PatreonYou can find our merch on SpreadshirtJoin the Community on DiscordLearn more great religion facts on Facebook and Instagram

Internally displaced people who are on the front line of the climate crisis usually lack the resources to adapt to an increasingly hostile environment. People from displaced communities shared their stories at the recent United Nations climate conference held in Egypt. - Οι εσωτερικά εκτοπισμένοι άνθρωποι οι οποίοι βρίσκονται στην πρώτη γραμμή της κλιματικής κρίσης, συνήθως δεν διαθέτουν τους πόρους για να προσαρμοστούν σε ένα όλο και πιο εχθρικό περιβάλλον. Άνθρωποι από τις εκτοπισμένες κοινότητες μοιράστηκαν τις ιστορίες τους κατά την πρόσφατη διάσκεψη των Ηνωμένων Εθνών για το κλίμα που πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Αίγυπτο.
Internally displaced people, or I-D-Ps, are on the frontlines of the climate emergency. Many are living in climate hotspots, where they typically lack the resources to adapt to an increasingly hostile environment. People from the displaced communities have been sharing their stories at COP27 in Egypt.

Guest: Victoria Gibson, affordable housing reporter Hundreds of tenants of Swansea Mews, a beleaguered west Toronto community housing complex, have been thrown into turmoil after a ceiling collapsed and the complex was later deemed structurally unsafe. Residents have now been told they would need to relocate to motel rooms and dorms. There is no timeline for how long they will be displaced. What will the future look like when community housing in the city has been in dire straits for years? Toronto Star reporter Victoria Gibson explains the latest developments at Swansea Mews and how that sheds light on systemic issues within the Toronto Community Housing Corporation.

Negar Tayyar is a philanthropic refugee rights advocate, life coach, and co-founder and director of the Global Whole Being Fund (GWBF), an international fund supporting the humanitarian and long-term needs of forcibly displaced people. We cover a lot in this episode from Negar's early memories of growing up in Iran, her parents being civil rights activists, which resulted in them fleeing Iran, moving from country to country, and relying on the kindness of strangers before arriving and settling in Germany and the challenges she and her parents experienced in an alien culture. Negar discusses in detail the global scale of the refugee response crisis, the vision and mission of GWBF, and how its focus on grassroots ecosystems and holistic approach enables more equitable solutions and empowers displaced people to claim their voice. Negar is not only a powerful advocate of the rights and well-being of displaced people, but she is also reframing the narrative and mechanisms of how philanthropic grants work and changing operational control to encourage refugee-led organizations to flourish. While our news feed may be filled with stories of despondency and desperation, hearing Negar's vision and vitality is a timely antidote and much-needed boost of optimism. Please Enjoy. We coverThe challenging experience of seeking safety by crossing many borders. Arriving and settling into Germany and witnessing the toll it took on her parents, who shaped her worldview and sense of self. We cover the transitional fabric of German society and the impact of migrants.Her childhood memories and the precious generosity of people.We discuss the work of the Global Whole Being Fund (GWBF), its focus on local ecosystems, and asset-based grant-making.

In this episode we talk with Tanya Machabeli, Director of the Nehemia Project in Ukraine. Tanya is one of the courageous Ukrainians helping to provide shelter, food, and medical care to those who have been displaced by Russian aggression. Speaking to us from her war-torn country, she explains that some of the most profound costs of the war in Ukraine have to do with damage to the land itself, because the very identity of the Ukrainian people is so tied to the land.
