We mobilized our Humanitarian Guard this morning at the Kerem Shalom crossing to make sure that settlers don’t stop aid on its way to Gaza and that the trucks pass successfully.
But two million Palestinians in Gaza are suffering unimaginably, with starvation, destruction, and death all around them. This is a catastrophe, and the “minimal” aid making it into the Strip is simply not enough – and we know that our extremist government is using it to further entrench the war and carry out horrific plans of transfer and occupation, not to help Palestinians.
We’re working everyday to change this unbearable reality, and we plan to come back again and again to ensure that the humanitarian aid makes it into Gaza. But we know this is not enough. The only sustainable solution is for our government to put an end to this war of annihilation, secure the release of all the hostages, lift the blockade, and stop blocking the entry and distribution of aid into Gaza.
