#UN agency for #Palestinian #refugees #UNRWA said Friday that #PeopleWithDisabilities in the #Gaza Strip face “immense challenges” in their daily lives and in accessing essential services.

“In Gaza, people with disabilities face immense challenges in their daily life and in accessing essential services,” the UNRWA said through the US social media company X.

“They lack everything - food, assistive devices, healthcare,” it added.

The agency highlighted that over 83% of persons with disabilities in Gaza have lost their assistive devices, according to the Global Protection Cluster.

It also emphasized the need for an immediate #ceasefire.

I have been quiet of late, but I have been getting, fixing, and distributing bikes, using existing parts inventory. The donations have improved in quality; I have gotten more selective about what I will accept to refurbish. Just not enough time! I have had these two little girls' bikes in the garage for ages, ready to deliver except for cleanup. Both have threadbare tires.
If you are inclined to help I have put a tire pair for each on the wishlist:
