Assigned to Doctors Without Borders as a nurse
The Gaza Strip, a Palestinian autonomous region, is facing a serious humanitarian crisis, with even refugee camps targeted by Israeli airstrikes. Yuko Shirakawa, a nurse with the international NGO Médecins Sans Frontières, was previously involved in medical and humanitarian aid activities in the area.
Shirakawa, who has been posted many times to conflict areas in the Middle East and has witnessed the tragedy of conflicts between ethnic groups and religions up close, has an unforgettable scene she encountered at a religious sacred site. She says that no matter how difficult it is, we must stop the cycle of hatred.
Palestinian youth despair in a ``ceilingless prison''
From 2015 to 2016, I stayed in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian autonomous region currently under heavy attack by the Israeli military, to carry out humanitarian aid activities.
It was truly a "prison without a ceiling." The area is surrounded by walls and other walls, restricting the movement of people and goods. 2.2 million people cram into an area smaller than Tanegashima. Although young people are highly educated thanks to the United Nations' educational aid, there are no jobs due to the unemployment rate of 50%. Feeling depressed, they shout for freedom and liberation through the fence, and sometimes throw stones.
