Israel's ongoing military assault on Gaza has created utterly unlivable conditions for Palestinians in the besieged territory. The United Nations has condemned the "unbearable" situation, with civilians forced to take shelter in bombed-out buildings or camp next to piles of waste, raising grave concerns over potential disease outbreaks. Just last night, at least five Palestinians, including a child, were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting residential areas. This cycle of violence and oppression must end immediately. I urge you to use your influence to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, allowing for humanitarian aid to reach those in desperate need and paving the way for a just resolution to the conflict that upholds the rights and dignity of all people.
