On the eleventh day of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza
A brief appeal to the human family
The International Commission “Hashd”: Your intervention should not be delayed any longer to stop the largest genocide and ethnic cleansing being committed by the Israeli occupation forces against the people of Gaza.
The International Commission “Hashd”: The international human family knows (how and how much) the current catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and the imminent threat to the healthcare system. The severe shortage of humanitarian services is a result of the occupation’s crimes and collective sanctions, which means that continuing this sacrifice endangers the lives of 2.3 million people who have exercised their right to self-determination as one of the internationally recognized rights.
The International Commission “Hashd”: Over the past ten days, nearly 3,000 Palestinians have been documented as martyred, and over ten thousand citizens have been wounded. The vast majority of the martyrs and wounded are children and women. Approximately 1,200 cases have been reported as missing, most of them buried under the rubble of their targeted homes hit by American-made rockets. These attacks have affected more than 322 families, destroyed thousands of homes, and civilian infrastructure.
The International Commission “Hashd”:We call on the United Nations and the high contracting parties to the Geneva Conventions to take urgent and serious action to protect civilians and civilian facilities, halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, ensure the application of international humanitarian law, and ultimately stop Israeli genocide and aggression. Delay by the international community and the human family makes them lose their humanity forever.
