Cairo- In an interview with NuJINHA, Nahla Al-Dabaa, founder of the Sabiya Association for Woman and Child in Egypt pointed to the Israeli attacks on Gaza and said that all international conventions and human rights principles are ignored in Gaza. She believes that international organizations, including the United Nations (UN), do not show the necessary reaction to Israeli attacks.

‘They remain silent to crimes’

Pointing out that Palestinian women were subjected to many crimes and more than 10,000 children were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, Nahla Al-Dabaa said, “Israel openly commits crimes against women and kills children. The international organizations remain silent about the crimes without doing anything.

Emphasizing that war conditions also hinder the works of women's organizations, Nahla Al-Dabaa added:

“Our organization receives no grant or support from any international organizations. It works in cooperation with other organizations defending human rights. The increasing number of refugees affects the activities and projects of women's organizations in Egypt. Women’s organizations have an important role in providing psychological support to refugees and carrying out awareness activities. Everyone must make more efforts to support refugees.”
