Relief Agencies Urge the United Nations to Take Urgent Action to Stop the Genocide in Gaza

In a joint message with an urgent humanitarian and political tone, more than 20 international relief agencies called on the United Nations and world leaders to intervene immediately to stop the ongoing "genocide" in the Gaza Strip, based on the findings of the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry, which concluded that Israel committed four of the five acts of genocide defined in the 1948 Convention.

- What is happening in Gaza is the deadliest in the history of the region unless urgent action is taken.

- The militarization of the humanitarian aid system in Gaza poses a deadly threat, as thousands are shot while trying to access food and water.

- Relief agencies warned that the continuation of the blockade and attacks will lead to the complete depletion of life, urging governments to act to stop the violence and end the occupation.

This message comes at a time when international demands for accountability for the crimes committed are escalating, amid increasing calls to implement the International Court of Justice's orders regarding provisional measures and to lift the blockade on Gaza.
