International NGOs demand an end to Gaza’s war and more aid

Gaza-4-1-2-3
Ramallah, Mar 14 (Prensa Latina) More than 20 international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) demanded on Thursday an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an increase in aid in light of the humanitarian catastrophe and the spread of diseases in that territory.

In a joint press release, humanitarian and human rights groups present in the enclave have been saying, since the beginning of the current escalation, that the only way to respond to the unprecedented crisis in the Strip is to stop fighting.

Countries cannot hide behind airdrops of food and medicine and their efforts to open a maritime corridor to create the illusion that they are doing enough to respond to Gaza’s needs, they stressed.

The text recalled that the world’s primary responsibility “is to prevent atrocious crimes from occurring and to apply effective political pressure to put an end to the continued bombardment and restrictions”.

For months, the Gazan people have been starving and drinking contaminated water.

ActionAid International, Oxfam, War Child Alliance, HelpAge International, and the Welfare Association, among other NGOs, signed the message.
