The most recent attack on Gaza at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, over 1400 Palestinians were killed, most of them civilians.

The challenge was the lack of an existing network of organizations working for Palestinian advocacy.
Palestine Justice network (PJN) was founded as an advocacy unit in The Palestinian Center for Rapprochement between People (PCR) in Palestine/Beit Sahour.
