Gisha is an Israeli NGO whose goal is to protect the freedom of movement of Palestinians, especially Gaza residents.
- Israel has launched another attack on Gaza, where two million people, half of them children, are still reeling from the devastation of previous assaults and a suffocating 15-year closure. Civilians in Gaza are trapped, exhausted, and afraid. STOP.
- "Aid has been used as a weapon of war." Gisha executive director @taniahary spoke to @kimbrunhuber on @CNN about how Israel is effectively blocking aid from reaching civilians throughout Gaza and about Gisha's High Court petition on the issue. Full clip: youtube.com/watch?v=o60wqE…
00:00 - Elizabeth Tsurkov worked at Gisha for several years, advocating for the human rights and the well being of Palestinians in Gaza. We're very concerned for her safety and wish for her speedy return home to her loved ones and her important work.
- A terrible and horrifying day. The targeting of civilians is forbidden and completely unacceptable. Civilians must be protected, in Israel and in Gaza.
- Did you know 70% of Gaza’s population, 1.4 million people, are under 30 y/o? Almost 1 million children live under closure. They need freedom of movement to be able to realize their dreams. Watch a new clip by Gisha to learn more about their lives: #HumanRightsDay #Gaza
00:00 - According to a notice sent to residents, Gaza's sole power plant will shut down today (Aug. 6) at 12pm for lack of fuel. Gaza's total power supply will drop to 120 megawatts, while demand is for 500 MW in summer. Electricity supply to homes expected to be 4 hours on/12 hours off.
- Israel not only blocked the passage of ~2,000 of vaccines sent by the PA to medical teams in Gaza yesterday, it also continues to disavow its legal and moral obligation to ensure the vaccine is available to all Palestinians in occupied West Bank and Gaza.
- In what can only be described as a fateful moment in Israeli society, we recall that the anti-democratic overhaul is intended, 1st & foremost, to intensify an apartheid regime that denies freedom & rights to millions of people btw. the Jordan River & the Med. Sea, harming us all.
- Through its control over movement of Palestinians, Israel engages in population control by encouraging, coercing and preventing travel in ways that serve its illegitimate demographic goals. 📷: A visualization of Israel's "separation policy"
- March 30, Land Day, will mark 1 year since the first Great March of Return protests took place along the fence separating Israel & Gaza. In the passing year, Israel has responded to protestors using live ammunition, killing close to 200 Palestinians & injuring thousands. [Thread]
- Israel is once again using its control over all of Gaza’s crossings to deny access for humanitarian aid, obstructing critical items, including food, medicine, fuel, and shelter equipment, as a weapon of war against the civilian population, in violation of its obligations under
- A #CeasefireNow is necessary to prevent further atrocities and loss of more life. Israel must facilitate full, uninterrupted humanitarian access to and throughout Gaza. Hostages and illegally held detainees must be released.
- Sudden change of plans? If ever there was proof that the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza was a policy choice. Israel has been deliberately denying sufficient access to aid and lying about it daily.Israel changes its policy on supplies to Gaza, intends to "flood" aid in, IDF says haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
