Condemn Israel's attacks on humanitarian aid workers in Gaza
143 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!
Israel's repeated strikes on humanitarian aid workers and convoys in Gaza, even after their coordinates were provided to authorities, are unconscionable war crimes that must be condemned and halted immediately. The mounting death toll of over 250 aid workers killed since October, including attacks on clearly marked UN and NGO vehicles, demonstrates a flagrant disregard for international law and human rights. These attacks not only endanger the lives of humanitarian personnel, but also contribute to the deliberate starvation of Gaza residents by obstructing vital aid delivery. Israel's allies providing military support and arms shipments are at risk of complicity in these egregious violations. An immediate ceasefire and independent investigation into potential war crimes must be initiated. Furthermore, funding for critical aid agencies like UNRWA should be immediately reinstated to ensure the welfare of Palestinian civilians. Until Israel ceases these unlawful attacks and human rights abuses against Palestinians, all military assistance enabling such atrocities must be reevaluated.
