On October 7, 2023, Israel's aggressive occupation of Palestine became a war of genocide against the Palestinian people. In the weeks since the unrelenting violence began, more than 4,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed and upwards of 13,000 have been injured. 65% of these casualties are women and children. Moreover, Israel’s assault has destroyed or damaged 70,000 homes and counting, along with many more public and private structures. Nearly a million Palestinians have been internally displaced in the Gaza Strip. Palestinians have been internally displaced within their country since the Israeli occupation began in 1948, but the level of destruction wrought by Israel in recent weeks has engendered unprecedented displacement. Worsening the conditions, Israel’s 16-year-long blockade on the borders of the Strip has intensified severely, preventing the entry of important medical aid, food supplies, water and electrical utilities and severely restricting movement within the region.WAMIP is appalled by the atrocities committed by the Israeli government, and we stand in support of Palestine. To this end, we join the international community in petitioning the UN for the following:• Investigation of and accountability for the perpetrators of war crimes. •Immediate and unconditional cessation of all violence. •Safe passage and the opening of borders. •The formation and application of International Investigative Committees. It is unacceptable for the international community to remain neutral in the face of a war of extermination, and we must make our voices heard in support of Palestine, justice, and the preservation of human rights. To express your solidarity with Palestine, please email UN Secretary General António Guterres regarding the international community’s demands or sign the petition at the link in the post or through the link in our bio.#palestineunderattack #palestinegenocide #freepalestine
