Tell Congress: Stop the
Humanitarian Blockade on Gaza
Peace Action

(May 21, 2025) — After more than two months of the current Gaza blockade, 70,000 Palestinian children are being hospitalized due to severe malnutrition, and 3,500 children under five face imminent death.²

We are witnessing the intentional mass starvation of over 2 million men, women, and children by Israel. As Israel’s strongest ally, the US is complicit in this horrific war crime that the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, publicly supports.³

Blocking humanitarian aid is a war crime.

“Within one week, we will see a severe starvation,” stated Dr. Ahmad Al-Farra, head of pediatrics and obstetrics at Nasser Hospital.⁴

The urgency for food, water, and medical supplies cannot be overstated.

The actions we take in the next week, as Israel announces a new ground invasion into Gaza, will mark a turning point in Israel’s attempts to take over the entire Gaza Strip.⁵ The Massacres and starvation will become more brutal. We cannot succumb to inaction.

ACTION: Sign an action statement to our representatives in Congress and the Senate
