Amnesty International: Ceasefire Petition
From Amnesty International: Demand a ceasefire by all parties to end civilian suffering. The unparalleled escalation of hostilities between Israel, Hamas and other armed groups has taken a devastating toll on civilians. Sign Amnesty International’s petition.
The level of casualties and scale of destruction in the occupied Gaza Strip is unprecedented. Countless lives have been shattered, ripped apart, and upended. In January 2024 the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to implement six provisional measures to protect Palestinians in Gaza against a real risk of genocide.With each day that passes more lives are lost and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is getting worse.
Sign Amnesty International’s petition to call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties to end civilian bloodshed and ensure humanitarian aid access to Gaza. Sign our petition and urge world leaders to call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties and put an end to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
