The Israeli genocide war has killed over 30,000 people, mostly women and children. The Palestinians in Gaza suffer hunger and risk death by starvation because the entry of humanitarian and food aid, and other supplies necessary for the survival continues to be blocked at Rafah by Israel Occupation forces. We call upon the people of the world to join the GLOBAL DAY OF FASTING on March the 9th in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
The human right to food is sacred and protected under international law. Family Farm Defenders maintains the principles of food sovereignty, including the right to food, as a guide to our response to ongoing and escalating violence, destruction, and loss of life in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel.
We are deeply shocked and outraged by the escalation of crimes against humanity committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. As a global peasant movement, we firmly reject violence against civilians and military conflict to resolve disputes.
