Resources from UN-OCHA

Hello friends,

It seems that one of the presentations that is consistently the most helpful for people visiting Palestine and Israel is the power point given by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories (OCHA-oPt). In our most recent Young Adult Conference, this presentation was given by OCHA director Allegra Pacheco.

OCHA has a great website that is very helpful for presenting objective facts and analysis of the situation on the ground in the occupied Palestinian territories (East Jerusalem, West Bank, and Gaza): www.ochaopt.org

They publish updates on the humanitarian situation, the construction of the Wall, and checkpoints and closures.

If you are interested in OCHA's power point presentations, you can find them at: http://www.ochaopt.org/?module=displaysection&section_id=125&static=0&format=html
