Take Action to End Israeli Attacks on Gaza

 

December 27, 2008 -- Today, the Israeli Air Force attacks on the occupied Gaza killed more than 200 people and injured hundreds more. These lethal attacks on an overcrowded Gaza come after months of a brutal siege that has seen the civilian population of Gaza deprived of food, fuel, medicine, electricity, and other necessities of life.

Israel 's bombing of Gaza today would not have happened without the complacent silence of the international community. Any just solution has to be anchored in international, humanitarian and human rights law.

Therefore, action is needed to protest this attack and demand that our government call for an immediate cease-fire and for the lifting of the siege to allow for the delivery of aid and fuel, as well as free access for international humanitarian organisations, journalists and diplomats, which Israel has blocked.
