By the time Israel’s first retaliatory airstrike struck the Gaza Strip, Ron Finkel was already thinking two steps ahead. “We had to think ‘what happens the day after’,” says the founder of the Australian charity, Project Rozana International, which has provided healthcare to Palestinians since 2013. “Whenever that day after is, we need to be providing a response to the critical care needs.”
The charity is a player among a group of aid and development organisations anxiously waiting for the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip to reopen so they can send critical aid and start planning to rebuild what has been lost.
