The overwhelming human toll of the bombardment in Gaza is unconscionable, with over 41,000 Palestinian civilians killed and nearly the entire population displaced. Israel's denial of humanitarian aid access and its actions are potential warning signs of genocide according to the International Court of Justice. Yet, despite this crisis, the Biden administration continues providing military aid and weapons to Israel, fueling further violence against the besieged civilians in Gaza. An immediate ceasefire by all parties is critical to halt the bloodshed, allow life-saving aid to reach those in desperate need, and uphold fundamental human rights. The world cannot stand by as this humanitarian catastrophe escalates with US complicity. Urgent diplomatic efforts must be made to resolve this conflict through peaceful means, not more weaponry and death.
