cbm projects damaged in GazaGaza conflict affects cbm projects cbm projects have been damaged and relatives of staff members from cbm project partners in Gaza have been killed in the recent attacks.The former Director of the Atfaluna Center Mrs Shawa wrote this very heartfelt message to us: “I am so deeply agonized by what is going on. I pray continually for so many innocent people caught up in all of this. Sadly there is simply no place for the people of Gaza to hide: no air raid shelters, no safe havens, and no fleeing to another country as the borders are closed. “Atfaluna Center has sustained a lot of damage - no doubt in the tens of thousands of dollars. “We have not yet confirmed the number of injuries and deaths amongst staff and students and their families, but I am sure there are many as the children live in very marginalized areas that were hardest hit. No doubt everyone has been very traumatized by this - but children, in particular, are the most vulnerable and will need the most help. I know that cbm will do its very best to help.” cbm is working with our partners in this difficult time to provide the services so desperately needed by persons with disability as well as those newly affected by disability as a result of the conflict.
