More than 760 aid groups call for end to Gaza’s ‘manufactured famine’

A petition signed by 761 aid groups and non-governmental organisations has urged countries around the world to break the Israeli siege on Gaza and send diplomatic humanitarian convoys through the Rafah crossing.

The move, which was initiated by Palestinian civil society groups on 12 May, received more than 300 signatures in one day, with the participation of prominent human rights groups including Human Rights Watch.

“We urge states to join the humanitarian convoy by dispatching official diplomatic missions – at the highest possible level – to accompany the aid trucks already waiting at the Rafah crossing, and to enter Gaza alongside them,” the petition states.

“This act is grounded in states’ legal obligations, moral courage, and human solidarity,” it adds.
