The 1.5 million Palestinian inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are facing a tremendous humanitarian and medical crisis. Israel's sharp restrictions on fuel and electricity have severely damaged the provision of safe drinking water, forcing people to make do with extremely poor quality water which is dangerous to their health.
A group of Israeli organizations is planning a major action for Saturday, January 26th, to bring a relief convoy of desperately needed water filters to be distributed in Gaza by their Palestinian partner there, The End the Siege Campaign.
We must not stand idle.
Join our solidarity rallies THIS WEEK in Boston, Philly, and San Francisco!
Call on Congress to speak up! The United States must call for an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, urging Israel to open its border crossings to people and goods. Rep. Barbara Lee has called on Secretary of State Condolezza Rice to request that the Administration "do all it can to secure the delivery of these vital humanitarian goods and services to Gaza." (For full letter in pdf format,click here: page 1, page 2)
