The world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza.
Instead, our political leaders allowed Israel to act with total impunity.
That is why they are now murdering hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, putting millions more lives across the region at risk.
When will our government wake up to the horrors they have normalised? When will they call out this reckless aggression? Or do Arab lives not matter?
We need a full arms embargo to Israel and economic sanctions, now. Our common humanity demands nothing less.
“NEXT war will START where THIS war ENDED. Destruction of entire health system. Killing of 18,000 children…PIVOTAL moment in history. Unless we defeat this GENOCIDE. GENOCIDE WILL BE THE WAY WARS ARE CONDUCTED FOR THE REST OF THIS CENTURY. @GhassanAbuSitt1@STWuk#StopGazaGenocideNOW
I’m gravely concerned about reports of an Israeli plan to proceed with a ground assault on Rafah. Further escalation of violence in this densely populated area would lead to many more deaths and suffering, especially with health facilites already overwhelmed. #Gaza
PRESS RELEASE: the #ICJ issues its decision on South Africa’s request for additional provisional measures in the case of Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (#SouthAfrica v. #Israel) tinyurl.com/59uutfe8
What a nightmare, as the Israelis essentially invaded another hospital in Gaza. It's hard to believe this is even happening (over and over and over again) as the area is being left essentially without medical care.

"The price the civilian population has paid is unspeakable"
@UNLazzarini: In only 4 months, 5% of the📍#Gaza population has been killed, injured or is missing.
17,000 children separated from their parents.
Possible starvation & famine.
There is simply no safe place in #Gaza
Throughout the four-month conflict, Israel has told people to evacuate from all other areas of Gaza to the south, including Rafah.
Now, there is no place that is safe in Gaza and no way for people to leave. #ceasefirenow
One million women and girls in #Gaza are enduring unbearable suffering, disease and risk of famine.
Now, half of them are sheltering in #Rafah, fearing for their lives with nowhere to go.
Each one of them must be protected.
They need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
Israel fears Palestinian children. They represent the Palestinian tomorrow and are therfore a mortal threat to the Zionist project. That is why Israel has intensionally targeted children in its genocidal war.
🔴Our Project Coordinator in #Gaza sent us audio describing the dire situation unfolding in Rafah.
“People don't feel safe. Children are terrified... It's quite sad to see how empty people's eyes are...”
We call on the government of Israel to halt any offensive on Rafah👇
