The organizers of the Monitoring Project feel strongly that the WaSH data being collected must be made as widely available as possible, in order to ensure immediate mobilization around the causes of this crisis. We must all use this information to demand that the current reality on the ground not be accepted as status quo. And we call upon international agencies, organizations and actors, as well as concerned individuals, to contribute to this effort.
The following is a list of things that you can do to support our work:
1. UTILIZE THE WaSH FINDINGS!
This information is not being collected to sit on anyone’s desk! The information is consistent, accurate, updated, and comprehensive, and should be used as a basic tool for relief work in Palestine. Along the same lines, international relief agencies should coordinate their efforts and make their efforts as public as possible to ensure that communities are not neglected. Let’s work together.
2. SPREAD THE WORD
Make known the current tragic state of water access in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. There are a variety of means to get this important message across, and to facilitate more effective relief work on the ground. We all need to ensure that the issue of water—a basic life source—be made a priority!
3. LOBBY IN YOUR AREAS
Regardless of location, there are actors that can contribute to improving the situation in Palestine. Whether via your national or local governments, international organizations, or the Israeli government, make your voice heard. http://www.globalexchange.org/countries/palestine/lobby4.html
