Amnesty Call for Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

 

 JOIN AMNESTY'S CALL FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE TO END CIVILIAN SUFFERING
 

Hi Christopher!

Today, I am sending you an urgent plea on behalf of the millions of civilians caught in the devastating conflict in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel.

Over the past three weeks, we have witnessed an escalation of violence that has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. More than 2 million people in Gaza are struggling to survive amidst unprecedented devastation. Over 6,546 individuals have lost their lives in Gaza, and at least 1,400 in Israel. Thousands more are injured, and over 200 have been taken hostage. Civilians, including children, are paying the highest price, and we cannot stand by silently.

Today, Amnesty International is issuing an urgent call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties involved in this conflict. The cessation of violence is crucial to end the immense suffering of civilians and to ensure access to life-saving aid. Join us by signing our global petition.

TAKE ACTION NOW

The impending ground offensive by Israeli forces threatens to have cataclysmic consequences for the civilians in Gaza. Civilians in Israel also continue to face the threat of indiscriminate rocket fire. An immediate ceasefire is the most effective way to protect civilians and facilitate the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid.

I want to share a message from an Amnesty fieldworker in Khan Younis in Gaza:

“We work amid ongoing, ceaseless bombardment and [we] ask about the most deadly cases where civilians and displaced people were killed. I meet with those who have lost their entire families, women, children, and the elderly. Under these dangerous conditions, we are the only ones still working on the ground to document violations and war crimes.”
 

In these trying times, your support is more crucial than ever. Our researchers, many of whom are from the region and have lost family members in the conflict, are working around the clock to shed light on and stop devastating human rights violations in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

We urge you to make a donation to Amnesty International today. Your contribution will be doubled and 100% of your gift will enable us to continue our vital work on the ground, documenting human rights violations, exposing war crimes, and advocating for accountability and justice. Your donation will be 2X matched until midnight.

YES, I SUPPORT AMNESTY'S WORK IN GAZA!
Christopher, your immediate support is vital. Please consider donating to Amnesty International today.

In hope and solidarity,

Ketty Nivyabandi, Secretary General
