| In Gaza, Palestinians continue to languish under Israeli siege as civilian infrastructure including hospitals, schools, UN facilities, churches and mosques are targeted by Israel. More than 14,854 Palestinians have been killed in the past seven weeks, half of whom are children. 1.7 million have been displaced, and an entire population of 2.2 million people are denied basic necessities such as fuel, water, food and medical supplies. In the West Bank, more than 400 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since the beginning of the year, as settlers’ violence increases and the Israeli army escalates its attacks. Inside Israel, Palestinians are being arrested for any expression of solidarity with their people as Israel introduces further legislation that targets the Palestinians in Israel. More than 7000 Palestinian political prisoners are currently held in Israeli prisons, 2070 are held without charge or trial under administrative detention, including 200 children. As the world marks 75 years to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Palestinians continue to endure 75 years of ongoing Nakba, dispossession and ethnic cleansing. Raise your voice and join your local action on Sunday the 10th of December to demand an immediate end to the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. Freedom, justice and equality for all. The APAN team |
