Stop Gaza Starvation Campaign – UAWC Briefing Report

2 February 202429 April 2024

(Ramallah) As the Israeli genocide war reaches Day 113, the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip has escalated to unprecedented levels due to the Israeli occupation actions, which are being referred to as a genocide war. The toll on human life and well-being is devastating and continues to grow daily. The casualty figures are now at a staggering 27,000 lives lost, a number that is deeply distressing in its magnitude. Among these, the most affected are the most vulnerable: children and women, who constitute the majority of the over 70,000 injured.

The situation is further exacerbated by the intensifying blockade imposed by Israeli forces. This blockade has severely restricted access to essential resources like food, clean water, and medical supplies. The consequences of these restrictions are dire, with over 2 million Palestinians now facing acute hunger. This figure illustrates the extensive reach of the crisis, affecting virtually every individual and family in the Gaza Strip.

Amidst this harrowing backdrop, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) is actively working to mitigate the effects of this humanitarian disaster. Despite facing enormous challenges, including logistical hurdles and resource limitations under the stringent blockade, the UAWC is unwavering in its commitment. Their campaign efforts are not just a response to immediate needs but a crucial lifeline for thousands of Palestinians, offering hope and support in a situation where both are in short supply.

The UAWC’s campaign is a testament to the resilience and determination of those striving to provide relief and support in the face of overwhelming adversity. Their work underscores the critical need for continued international attention and aid to address the growing humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip. The UAWC’s efforts represent not just material assistance but also significant moral support for the people affected, reinforcing the message that they are not forgotten amidst the ongoing war.

Call for Continued Support

As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza intensifies with each passing day, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) urgently calls for heightened global support. The dire situation, marked by widespread hunger, relentless blockade, and continuous bombardment, has led to a catastrophic scenario where thousands of Palestinians face the imminent risk of starvation and death.

This escalating crisis has not only caught the attention of the international community but has also compelled the International Court of Justice to consider precautionary measures to halt what is being termed a genocide war. There is a growing foundation for an international investigation into the actions of the Israeli occupation, suspected of committing genocide in Gaza.

To join us in this crucial mission and contribute to a cause that is more than just aid—it’s a fight for survival—please visit UAWC’s Campaign Link. Your support at this moment can save lives and provide hope to thousands suffering under these extreme conditions. Every contribution can make a difference in preventing a large-scale humanitarian disaster.
