– Report progress on helping non-combatants leave Gaza
– Offer media appearances
– Inform the public as to topics relevant to our Mission.

PRESS

cover the plight of civilians while Gaza remains at significant risk of being a
war zone. Stay tuned for more.


ABOUT

On October 7, 2023, Hamas and Israel were at war after Hamas’ attacks in Israel.
It didn’t take long for the world to realize that the civilian, non-combatant
Gazans were stuck in Gaza. Gaza Passage was founded to help the civilians who
wish to leave for safety can do so.

The work isn’t easy. Israel has to determine who is and isn’t a combatant. Gaza
Passage believes that task is difficult, imperfect, and costly – in lives – on
the battlefield. By focusing our efforts on our one goal, we can expedite the
process of gaining resources to save lives. 

Our first outreach was to people within Israel. Next, we reached out to the
United States which has already begun to take action. Next, we intend to
publicize to the nations of the world that they too can help. 

Our diverse and active Working Group intends to fully update the world on how we
all band together to prevent the loss of civilian life in Gaza.

Please join us.

After connecting on LinkedIn with a message “GP Saves Lives,”

Coach will take it from there. Stay tuned for more contact information.


OUTREACH ATTORNEYS

GazaPassage is seeking local attorneys in different countries to assist in our
Outreach efforts to the nations of the world. If you would like to be an
Outreach Coordinator for a country where you practice law, reach out to us. We
