Emergency Appeal for Palestinians

Here’s the realistic vision of text Avaaz originally shared to Avaaz community.

The revisited text read:

 Mustafa Barghouti: Israel's Siege & Bombing of Gaza Are War Crimes!

Gaza is essentially the world’s largest open air prison for more than 16 years, a small territory where 2 million people lived in and it's being brutally bombed to dust because simply there’s militants around of Hamas is there any sanity in this?

Half of Gaza's population are children.

Israel's military has already dropped over 6,000 JDAM bombs, hitting schools, homes, buildings, basements, banks, water and Electricity station, hospitals and evacuation routes. It's kids running from the missiles and being crushed under the rubble. JDAM Bombs do kill them and destroy buildings and infrastructures, food and water are running out, and hospitals will soon have no electricity.

Now the UN is warning of potential genocide.

The horror perpetrated by Israel and Hamas is unthinkable. But Gaza's children are innocent. We have the same responsibility to all children and civilians no matter which side of the barbed-wire fence they're standing on. Gaza's children and civilians need help. OUR help.

Israelis Must Maintain Their Humanity Even When Their Blood Boils:

Avaaz is in contact with Palestinian doctors and nurses still working as the bombs fall.

Injuries are catastrophic, and they need urgent funding for medical supplies when and if humanitarian corridors open. We'll also fund emergency shelters, refugee camps, and medical care as violence spreads in other parts of Palestine. Together we'll empower emergency teams to keep saving lives in the ever-shifting chaos.

If you're ready to help, donate what you can now. You'll be powering a massive humanitarian response and fuelling Avaaz campaigns for justice and peace, from Palestine to Ukraine, Sudan to Myanmar. Avaaz can have funds on the ground asap.

Gaza is a narrow strip of land, often called an "open-air prison" and home to roughly 2 million people. Half of them are children, their basic necessities restricted by an Israeli blockade for more than 16 years.

The children of Gaza are trapped in a crazy vicious, unhuman war they were simply born into. They have nowhere to run and bombing is set to intensify. The situation is incredibly volatile, but together we can give emergency teams the power to adapt and scale their response in the most horrifying circumstances.

Gaza needs aid, right now. And those fighting against an all out war in Israel and Palestine need a global community standing for peace and justice alongside them. Avaaz has been doing it for years along with campaigns on the war in Ukraine and Sudan's silent genocide. If we raise enough, we could:

•           Provide funding for emergency, life-saving supplies for civilians, including medicines, trauma kits, fuel, and ambulances;

•           Support Palestinian doctors, nurses, and volunteers, helping to ensure they have food and shelter as horrors unfold;   

•           As violence and instability spreads into other areas of Palestine, we'll also support emergency teams in those areas as needed;

•           Accelerate a rapid response campaign to save Palestinian and Israeli children from all out war starting with freeing the children held hostage by Israel and Hamas; and,

•           Supercharge our Human Rights Action Team to fight for justice for the victims of war, genocide, and apartheid across the world, and power Avaaz's work to make it all possible.

Wherever you are right now, this is a chance to help the children and civilians of Gaza directly. The more we raise, the more medical care, shelters, and aid we can provide. Donate what you can now:

Donate Now!

From Yemen to Syria, and again in Afghanistan, the Avaaz community has been a powerful voice for innocent children caught in the ravages of war. Even in the darkest moments, our community can shine a light and this moment demands nothing less. So with all the love and generosity of our shared humanity, let's show up for Gaza's children and civilian injuries, now. 

 

***Not in our Name. Jews Say cease Fire Now. There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. Bibi your hands are full of blood***

 

Just for clarification: Hamas as group attached to the natural and historical right to have a nation are Palestinian Islamic militants they have been designated a terrorist organization by both the U.S and U.K since 2021 because it raised against FATH movement as the situation struggle since the Oslo I accord in 1993.

I remind you about the British complicity in the matter which has frankly done enough damage in that particular region. The British Empire had jump-started Zionist movements to form Israel at the end of World War I, when the Brits took control of the Palestine lands from the Ottoman Empire. All of the fighting over Israel and Palestine since then began with Britain’s Balfour Declaration in 1917.
