First of all, thank you again to everyone who has joined this project! I deeply appreciate it. But we need more! Please reach out to family and friends and your contacts and followers, anyone you think would love to help.

Today I start working on one purple page. As you can see, what I have is deep bluish-purple, light purple and a medium purple. All is good. And this time, it's all pure wool.

Please remember, you can join in with whatever yarns you have available - if not pure wool, then I can use the pages/blankets in another way to support Gaza. If you have wool or are happy to buy some, that's amazing and we can eventually use the pages as blankets.

Don't forget to share, tell everyone you know, see if you can make a second page in March, update the status of your work in the excel sheet here.

Today I finished 
.
1. Beige page representing 200 Palestinian women aged 56 to 74 killed by Israeli military forces in Gaza from 6 to 27 October 2023. These women also witnessed the Naksa, which means the "setback", on June 5, following the 1967 war, 250,000 Palestinians either fled or were expelled by Israel from the West Bank. 

2. Brown partial page representing 46 Palestinian men ager 75+ killed by Israeli military forces in Gaza from 6 to 27 October 2023. These women also witnessed the Naksa (see above) and the Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, and approximately 15000  Palestinians were killed.
