This week, in lieu of a post about finding ease in work, I wanted to share a few resources to help people understand the dire situation in Gaza and actions they can take to support an end to this war.
Get Up to Speed:
From PBS News:
More than 100 aid groups sign open letter warning of starvation in Gaza
Excerpt from the article:
Experts say Gaza is at risk of famine because of Israel’s blockade and offensive, launched in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack. The head of the World Health Organization said Gaza is “witnessing a deadly surge” in malnutrition and related diseases, and that a “large proportion” of its roughly 2 million people are starving.
From NPR News:
4 things to know about Gaza right now amid warnings of ‘mass starvation’ risk
Excerpt from the article:
Kate Phillips-Barrasso, vice president of global policy and advocacy at Mercy Corps, one of the aid groups that warn of starvation in Gaza, told NPR that the territory is “at a precipice” and is “tipping into a point of no return.”
She said that a sack of flour now costs $480 and that her own staff members in Gaza are spending much of their time each day just trying to find food for themselves and their families.
Take Action:
US Campaign for Palestinian Rights ACTION Call Your Representatives
From the website:
Forced famine is here. Israel has blocked almost all humanitarian aid from entering Gaza since early March. This is not a natural disaster – it’s genocide. As Israel’s largest military funder, the United States has the power to ensure humanitarian aid access and stop the genocide.
TAKE ACTION NOW: Call Congress. It only takes 3 minutes. Tell your representatives to demand the immediate opening of ALL border crossings for unrestricted humanitarian aid, and stop arming Israel with U.S. weapons.
