Children of Gaza in their own words

An open-ended ceasefire has brought relative peace to Gaza but it has come at a terrible cost. After 50 days of violence, at least 491 children are dead and all others have endured a profoundly stressful experience that will surely leave its mark.

Four survivors told their incredible stories to UNICEF.

“I was sitting on the floor and was terrified at the sight of the blood on my father’s face. I could feel a great pressure on my head and the walls were shaking. We ran out on the street. I was running as fast as I could and I saw dust and shells falling from the sky. I was crying the whole time.” (Zacharia is deaf and told his story through sign language).

Aya, 12

“It was night, but it seemed like day, with all the lights in the sky. We saw our cousins die and a neighbouring house on fire and then decided we had to go. As we started leaving, they started shelling our home as well. I could feel the pressure of the bombs on my ears. The streets were full of dead people, I saw the dead body of a girlfriend. My mother told me to take care of one of my sisters so I grabbed her and ran.” (Like Zacharia - her brother pictured above - Aya is deaf and spoke via sign language).

“It’s so hard to live these days.”

“I heard the sound of planes above, and then there was death and injuries and bodies torn to pieces everywhere. I saw my best friend Mohammed Asom lying dead beside me. Then I fainted. When I woke up, I was here in the hospital. 

I hope that this will stop but I’m afraid it won’t. [I want to] teach children how to love the world, how to love their families and their home. All the world [should] stand up with us children. Stop the siege of the Gaza Strip, my home."

How are we helping?

10 Tips to Prevent Data Theft

The largest data theft in history is topping the news:

• 1.2 billion internet user names and passwords compromised
• 420,000 websites impacted
• Well-known national brands and small companies affected.

Here are ten things you can do to protect your business.
1. Secure sensitive customer, employee or patient data.

• Store paper files and removable storage devices (such as thumb drives and CDs) containing sensitive information in a locked drawer, cabinet, safe or other secure container when not in use.
• Restrict access to sensitive data to those who have a need to know. Give employees access to only the information they need to do their jobs – whether it’s online or in paper form.

2. Properly dispose of sensitive data.
Shred documents containing sensitive data prior to recycling. Remove all data from computers and electronic storage devices before disposing of them.
3. Use password protection.
Password protect your business computers – including laptops and smartphones – and access to your network and accounts. Require employees to have a unique user name and a strong password that is changed at least quarterly.
4. Control physical access to your business computers.
Create user accounts for each employee to prevent unauthorized use of your business computers. Laptops can be easy targets; make sure they’re locked in place when unattended. Also limit network access on computer stations located in public spaces, such as the reception area.
5. Encrypt data.
Encryption helps protect the security and privacy of files as they are transmitted or while on the computer. Install encryption on all laptops, mobile devices, flash drives and backup tapes, and encrypt emails that contain sensitive information.
6. Protect against viruses and malicious code (“malware”).
Install and use antivirus and antispyware software on all of your business computers. Don’t open email attachments or other downloads unless you’re sure they’re from a trusted source.
7. Keep your software and operating systems up to date.
Install updates to security, web browser, operating system and antivirus software as soon as they become available. They contain “patches” that address security vulnerabilities within the software and are your first line of defense against online threats.
8. Secure access to your network.

• A firewall prevents outsiders from accessing data on your network. Enable your operating system’s firewall or purchase reputable firewall software. Be careful with free security software as it may actually contain “scareware” that can infect your network.
• Allow remote access to your network only through a secure manner such as a properly configured Virtual Private Network (VPN).
• If you have a Wi-Fi network for your workplace, make sure it is secure, encrypted and hidden so that its network name or “Service Set Identifier” (SSID) can’t be picked up by the public. Also be sure a password is required for access.

9. Verify the security controls of third parties.
Before working with third parties that have access to your data or computer systems or manage your security functions, be sure their data protection practices meet your minimum requirements and that you have the right to audit them. Not only do you want to ensure that your customer and business data is secure, but if a breach occurs on their watch, you could still be held liable and may be required to take all the necessary steps toward recovery – including notifying customers, monitoring credit, paying penalties or fines, etc.
10. Train your employees.
Last but not least, make sure your employees understand your data protection practices and their importance. Document your policies and practices and distribute them to your team. Review your practices regularly and update them as required. Be sure to retrain your staff as updates are made.
