Today marks two years since the deadly Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel, during which at least 1,200 Israelis and other nationals – mostly civilians- were killed and 251 people were taken hostage, 20 are still alive and held in Gaza.
Today marks two years since Israel began its brutal onslaught against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Over 67,000 Palestinians – mostly civilians – have been killed. 90% of homes have been destroyed or damaged. Most of the population has been forcibly displaced, starved and subjected deliberately to conditions of life calculated to destroy Palestinians in Gaza.
This is genocide.
This horror has been made possible with the support of the US and other allies and the tightening of Israel’s 18-year-long illegal blockade that has inflicted unimaginable suffering.
This must end now.
Humanity cannot bear this any more.
States must stop ignoring their legal obligations and press Israel to end its genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian armed groups must release all civilian hostages immediately and unconditionally.
Without an immediate and sustained ceasefire by all parties there will be no end in sight to civilian suffering.
