Drawing on a quarter-century of experience in mobilizing and engaging communities for collective action, and its network of experienced volunteers, the Culture and Free Thought Association adopts a youth-led, community-based approach to its emergency and humanitarian interventions. It utilizes information from the United Nations, government ministries, and international NGOs, and coordinates with relevant sectors to enhance its emergency responses. Affected communities are involved in planning the distribution of essential humanitarian aid through ongoing consultations via focus groups, regular community meetings, and field visits by the Association’s staff. The ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip has compelled the Culture and Free Thought Association to prioritize psychosocial support services. A team of the Association’s specialized staff utilizes drama therapy, expressive arts, psychological counseling and referrals, cultural and recreational activities, and excursions to protect and restore the well-being of children and mothers. These activities are also offered to young people through our programs as an integral part of our commitment to building bridges of trust and communication between boys and girls, fostering a positive atmosphere characterized by cooperation and support among adults, and generally promoting healthy social relationships built on understanding and acceptance of others. During and after the last war on Gaza in the summer of 2014, the Culture and Free Thought Association was able to expand its reach to new areas in need. The association was also able to provide humanitarian aid to 9,500 affected people within a limited timeframe. A rapid needs assessment confirmed that the aid was aligned with people’s needs and requirements. Emergency distributions included food vouchers, personal hygiene kits, water tanks, lights, heaters, blankets, plastic sheeting, kitchen utensils, mattresses, and clothing. The association also intensified its psychosocial support activities both within and outside its centers, reaching more than 2,400 people. Psychosocial support activities, including counseling, drama, arts, and recreation, were implemented in its own centers as well as in emergency shelters and neighborhoods. In response to a request from the Ministry of Education, the Culture and Free Thought Association also organized open days in schools for nearly 7,000 children to help them start the new term. Given the unstable environment in which it operates, and the potential for renewed escalations in the context of a long-term, chronic emergency, the Culture and Free Thought Association places particular emphasis on enhancing its emergency preparedness and strengthening its community support efforts to ensure the inclusion, dignity, and participation of people at all stages of intervention. In light of this commitment, all of the Culture and Free Thought Association’s emergency interventions are supported by crisis-related advocacy activities.
