International Urgent Statement and Appeal

“The Gaza Re-Occupation Plan: An Imminent Crime Requiring Urgent International Action to Prevent It and Stop the Genocide, Starvation, and Massacres Against Civilians”

The International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights (ICSPR) expresses its grave concern and strong condemnation of the escalation of the genocide and Israeli aggression against civilians in Gaza, which threatens a humanitarian disaster and a major new crime. This comes in light of the occupation’s plans to re-occupy Gaza and impose a military administration by force, representing an extension of the ongoing impunity. It signals a new Nakba in the 21st century, manifested in ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and a systematic genocide of over two million civilians, suffering the worst humanitarian crisis since 1948. These conditions continue to unfold amid an ongoing siege, starvation, and the total collapse of health, economic, and service sectors.

The International Commission “ICSPR” reports that in the past 24 hours, 87 citizens have been martyred, and 644 others have been injured, bringing the total number of martyrs since October 7, 2023, to 61,020, and the number of wounded to 150,671. This ongoing massacre clearly constitutes war crimes and crimes against humanity in full view of the international community.

ICSPR also recorded 5 new deaths in hospitals in Gaza in the last 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, raising the total number of victims of famine to 193, including 96 children. Among the martyrs are two infants, Heba Abu Naji (7 months) and Joudi Al-Aroor (6 months), who died in Al-Shifa Hospital due to the continued siege and forced starvation.

Another crime reported by ICSPR includes the martyrdom of 52 civilians and the injury of 352 others near the US-Israeli aid distribution points. This mirrors the repeated war crimes targeting and killing starving civilians seeking humanitarian assistance.

ICSPR also reports that the Israeli navy detained 10 Palestinian fishermen, including 6 siblings, this morning off the coast of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. This is part of the ongoing collective punishment, undermining livelihoods, and depriving Palestinians of food sources as part of the starvation and genocide policy.

Despite the occupation’s claims of facilitating aid into Gaza, ICSPR confirms that only 84 trucks entered the Strip yesterday, most of which were looted and seized amid an artificially created security chaos. This reflects the “engineering of chaos and starvation” policy, through which the occupation seeks to dismantle Palestinian society and strip it of its survival capabilities. It is estimated that Gaza requires a minimum of 600 aid and fuel trucks per day to prevent the collapse of essential sectors, including health, services, and food.

ICSPR warns the international community of an imminent new catastrophe unless urgent action is taken to save Gaza from displacement, genocide, and starvation. What is happening in Gaza is a complete and systematic genocide, requiring immediate international intervention based on Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter to stop the massacres, starvation, and guarantee the protection of civilians. This call is made from beneath the rubble, amidst famine and massacres. The facts confirm, beyond any doubt, that the Israeli occupation continues to implement a systematic policy of genocide, starvation, and chaos, turning the Gaza Strip into a disaster area unfit for life, accompanied by continuous demographic and geographical changes in an ongoing colonial plot aimed at re-occupying the region and displacing its inhabitants. This is being carried out with the support and partnership of the United States and under the guise of international inaction and complicity, which has failed to employ protection mechanisms and enforce decisions by the International Court of Justice and the United Nations, or to ensure respect for international humanitarian law and human rights standards.

Accordingly, the International Commission (ICSPR) addresses the global human conscience and demands the following:

1. The United Nations to declare Gaza a famine area and act to pressure for the opening of permanent and safe humanitarian corridors, ensuring the flow of food, water, medicine, and fuel without obstacles, and guaranteeing the free operation of international organizations, particularly UNRWA.

2. Calls for the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions and the Genocide Prevention Convention to take effective measures to stop the genocide war and Israeli aggression, resist plans to re-establish Israeli military rule over Gaza and empty it of its population, and work to provide international protection for civilians and humanitarian facilities.

3. Urges the International Criminal Court (ICC) to expedite investigations into the genocide crimes, starvation, targeting of starving civilians, and other protected groups, and to issue further arrest warrants for Israeli criminals and their accomplices.

In conclusion, the International Commission (ICSPR) affirms that it is time to end the state of inaction, reliance on appeals and condemnation, and to call for the United Nations General Assembly to convene urgently under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution. This will establish an international coalition to protect civilians and take humanitarian and military intervention to open humanitarian corridors, create safe zones, confront the occupation’s crimes, and impose comprehensive international sanctions on the occupation, including a weapons embargo, suspension of its UN membership, and decisive steps towards ending the occupation and its racist colonial system.
