KHAN YOUNIS UNDER SIEGE, ALMOST A WEEK WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER

Today, 7/26, Palestinians in Gaza are starving to death and not only is not enough humanitarian aid being allowed to enter by Israel, it has declined by 56% since April. Those trapped in Khan Younis have been without food or water for almost a week and have no way to leave the area due to the constant, indiscriminate aerial bombardment. Those in and around Khan Younis are likely experiencing what survivors of the 45-day siege of the Al-Amal Hospital went through. Survivors recount how medical staff were terrified to get close to our look out windows, or open doors to the outside. Patients, medical staff, and refugees were deprived of food and water. I demand that you:  – Hold Israel accountable for a permanent, immediate ceasefire, their violations of the Genocide Convention, and gross human rights violations by any means necessary – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace – Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7 – Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law – Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA – Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict – Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level – Vote no on H.R. 7521 and any similar legislation proposed
