Defense for Children International - Palestine has ceased operations. After 35 years of defending Palestinian children’s rights, we are not able to overcome operational challenges resulting from Israel’s targeted criminalization of Palestinian human rights organizations.
Palestinian children are living through genocide, apartheid, military occupation, and the rapid expansion of illegal Israeli settlements. They are imprisoned in Israel’s torture dungeons, buried under the rubble, and adapting to lifelong disabilities. They deserve protection and the fulfillment of all their human rights.
For decades, DCIP has worked relentlessly to protect Palestinian children against all odds. Now, we look to others to take up the charge and fight for the future that Palestinian children deserve.
All recurring donations have been cancelled. Once DCIP dissolves, any unspent funds will be transferred to another independent Palestinian organization with a child-centered mandate.
Onward,
Khaled Quzmar
General Director
