200 DAYS OF WAR ON GAZA
200 days of starvation, displacement, daily killings, and relentless bombardment; a genocide that knows no international laws or human rights.
Ethnic cleansing, and ongoing genocide in Gaza where Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians, including 14,000 children and 135 journalists, along with many rescue teams, medical staff, and civil defence personnel.
There are over 5,000 missing persons still buried under the rubble or missing, their whereabouts unknown.
Hospitals, places of worship, and schools have been bombed and destroyed, prisoners killed, and the streets filled with bodies, not even a moment of safety in order to bury the dead.

Israel Is Destroying Gaza's Environment as Part of Its Plan to Eliminate Palestinians
This Earth Day, we mourn the 34,000+ Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza and Israel's continued degradation of Gaza's land, water, and other natural resources that make life possible for Palestinians.
In the past 6 months alone, Israel has destroyed farmland and greenhouses, contaminated natural resources with hazardous materials, bombed key water purifying infrastructure and wells, and created conditions for epidemics caused by an extreme excess of sewage, waste, and pollution.
Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza's environment is part of its goal of making life for Palestinians in Gaza unlivable.
In 6+ months, Israel has killed over 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza and devastated Gaza's environment, creating severe short and long-term consequences for Palestinians and all living beings in Gaza.
As a result, experts are recommending Israel be investigated for "ECOCIDE," a war crime,
Israel's Destruction Of Gaza's Environment Includes:
• Destroying at least 38% of Gaza's farmland.
• Destroying almost 1/3 of greenhouses.
• Contaminating soil, groundwater, and seawater with hazardous and toxic materials.
• Bombing water infrastructure and wells.
• Creating conditions for epidemics via an extreme excess of sewage, waste, and pollution
As a result, Palestinians can't grow food or live off their land in much of Gaza now.
Many Will Have To Rebuild From Scratch.
Additionally, their exposure to serious waterborne diseases and hazardous materials can cause deadly diseases, like cancer.
As indigenous people, Palestinians rely on their land for life and survival.
Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza's environment is part of its goal of making life for Palestinians in Gaza unlivable.
This Earth Day, we mourn the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza and the continued degradation of Gaza's land and water.
The US must immediately stop funding and arming Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza to save thousands of lives and make the rehabilitation and rebuilding of Gaza possible-Before It's Too Late.
