On Monday, members of civil society issued a statement demanding an end to the ongoing Israeli attack on Gaza and the growing humanitarian crisis.
Members of civil society have called for an end to the Israeli offensive and the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
In a joint statement issued on Monday, it is claimed that more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed so far by the military offensive launched by the Israeli government in Gaza after an unexpected attack by the Hamas group on Israeli land on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 Israeli citizens and kidnapped 240 people. Citing news sources, they noted that 80 percent of those killed were civilians, including about 60 percent women, children and senior citizens. The
statement said, 'Thousands of citizens, including children, who managed to avoid death, are forced to die prematurely due to starvation and malnutrition.' According to the policy of the Israeli government, the vehicles that came to enter Gaza with relief materials were stopped and because of this, the United Nations declared Gaza a famine zone, according to the statement. In the
statement, outrage has been expressed calling the painful scene of the humanitarian crisis contrary to the humanitarian values of the 21st century. 'The right to life is a very important part of the Declaration of Human Rights . The Israeli government is committing a heinous crime by violating this basic right," the statement said. The
statement called for the immediate entry of relief materials into Gaza, a peaceful end to the violent conflict, and the immediate release of all innocent civilians abducted by Hamas, including Nepali citizen Bipin Joshi.
