קרן ויקימדיה קוראת לאפשר חיבור לאינטרנט, וגישה לידע, בלי הפרעה בעזה
קרן ויקימדיה מביעה את דאגתה העמוקה ממקרי ניתוק האינטרנט הנמשכים ברצועת עזה, הפוגעים באופן ישיר ביכולתם של אנשים לקבל ולשתף מידע מוויקיפדיה וממיזמי ויקימדיה אחרים. בתור המלכ”ר המארח את מיזמי ויקימדיה, הקרן מאמינה שמקרי הניתוק האלה מאיימים על משימתנו לשתף ידע ברחבי העולם ולהגן על הגישה לידע כאחת מזכויות האדם.
Help us unlock the world’s knowledge.
