GAZA Genocide: Call for ‘Ceasefire’ to end war!
As the world witness helpless in hope for peace, humanity is shamed as the world organizations like the United Nations (UN) and global leaders fail to stop the war or negotiate a ‘Ceasefire’ yet. Juxtapose, be it the Israel people, hostages and the Ukraine-Russia war is an another world’s region trapped in war zone that has been continuing with lives being reportedly lost – people, soldiers – and millions of people being forced to migrate, displace or live in refuge.
Initially, a ceasefire resolution by the UN was twice VETO by the US – the nation – which still continues to support Israel by helping and sending weapons worth billions, as people continue to be killed. Innocent children and women are the worst affected people who suffer the most. Needles to countries around the world fail to come together in solidarity for peace in Gaza and pass a 'world resolution' to stop wars.
People of Palestine, especially in the region of Gaza, deserve peace. On record, in 1947, UK put Palestine issue in the UN in 1947 and Israel proclaimed independence in 1948. Since then, even after UN Security Council, General Assembly admission of Palestine as member state grant of rights and privileges, and demand that Israel end occupation, why the genocide in Gaza?
UNICEF and other UN agencies have frequently reported that, far too often, aid convoys are not being given permission to enter the Gaza Strip and deliver supplies to those in need. World Food Programme (WFP) declared that it has only been able to bring in about a third of the food needed to support people in Gaza, and that “hunger is everywhere”. Newborns and infants in Gaza have reportedly died of hypothermia, deaths described by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) as preventable.
Across the Gaza, the ongoing hostilities have damaged health facilities, hospitals and killed health workers, staff and journalists. The UN Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) raised alarm over such attacks, which have also killed health and aid workers.
As the humanitarian crisis deepens in Gaza, children who have no safe place need life support. Reportedly, the war has a heavy toll on the children with over 14,000 being killed and enduring the unimaginable horror. With around half being children, around 1.9 million people – about 9 in 10 of Gaza’s population – are estimated to have been internally displaced. They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel and medicine.
An urgent call for immediate ceasefire is the need of the hour for a long-lasting humanitarian truce and an everlasting peace.
