  • Family and friends mourn over the body of Carlos Martinez where he was found murdered in a grove of African palm oil trees. The 23-year old farmworker who was shot to death on October 2, 2011, on the La Lempira Cooperative outside Tocoa, Honduras. Martinez and other members of the cooperative are among thousands of Honduran activists who have seized plantations they claim were stolen from them by wealthy Honduras businessmen. The Honduran security forces have militarized the area, and killings of peasant leaders have become common. Many of the cooperatives were started with assistance from Catholic priests and lay pastors in the region, and some Catholic leaders remain close supporters of the peasant movement. A sister of Martinez claimed he was killed by a security guard from a nearby plantation belonging to Miguel Facusse, the wealthiest of Honduran landowners.

Examining her x-ray is Dr. Ramy Meqdad (left) and Dr. Mohamed Al-Sadeq. Treating cancer patients here is a challenge for health care professionals. Patients suffer from a chronic shortage of several medicines because of the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Replacement parts for medical technology are often blocked. Visas are virtually impossible to obtain for continuing education outside of Gaza for health workers. And only a small percentage of patients referred to hospitals in the West Bank, Jerusalem, or Israel are granted permission by the Israeli authorities to leave..

The Israeli military prevents fishers from venturing more than six nautical miles out to sea--and often times even less--preventing them from catching the fish the Palestinian territory needs.

  • Eight-year old Awad Samy Khater harvests tomatoes in his family's greenhouse in Al Fukari, Gaza. The family grows crops in several greenhouses, using water from a rain water catchment system to fill a giant pond. That water is mixed with increasingly saline groundwater from a well. The system allows them to produce a greater quantity of more lucrative crops, at greater profit because they have to buy less water. The boy's family received assistance in building the system from Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, a member of the ACT Alliance. In the wake of the devastating 2014 war, ACT Alliance members are supporting health care, vocational training, rehabilitation of housing and water systems, psycho-social care, and other humanitarian actions throughout the besieged Palestinian territory. Quality water is growing increasingly scarce in Gaza, as Israel drains the underground aquifer for its own development, pulling salt water into the aquifer from the west.<br />
