The Law Society of Northern Ireland and the Bar of Northern Ireland are backing the Water for Gaza NI appeal launched by Concern Worldwide.

Nine in 10 people in Gaza currently have no access to safe water, with children dying daily from dehydration and preventable disease. Hospitals are overwhelmed and basic sanitation has collapsed.

Concern has launched an urgent call to raise £250,000 in just 12 weeks to help provide safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene supplies to up to 21,000 people. Almost £100,000 has already been raised.

Law Society president Colin Mitchell said: “At times of crisis, Northern Ireland’s business and legal sectors have always come together to make a difference.

“By supporting Concern Worldwide, we can help deliver something as essential as clean water to families in desperate need of help.”
