People in Gaza are starving and facing a real and imminent risk of genocide.
Demand that Israel comply with the ICJ’s orders to allow the free flow of aid into Gaza and to protect the civilians at risk of genocide.
On January 26th, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) warned that people in Gaza face a real and imminent risk of genocide. The court issued six provisional measures ordering Israel to take specific steps to stop this including to provide urgent help like food, water, and medicine to the people there. Despite this, Israel has increased its attacks, making it very hard for help to reach Gaza.
The situation in Gaza is unprecedented. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), more than two million people are on the brink of starvation. The healthcare system is overwhelmed, with most hospitals struggling to function under the strain of too many patients and not enough supplies. The lack of electricity and fuel has plunged the area into even deeper crisis, hindering efforts to provide lifesaving services and complicating the already dire humanitarian situation.
