Stop Starving Gaza Power Hour
by 18 Million Rising
Since October 2023, Israel’s ongoing siege and genocide of the Palestinian people have left over 60,000 dead – likely an undercount [1]. Humanitarian organizations have warned that Israel’s continued attacks will wreak a man-made famine.
Today, over 20,000 Palestinian children are at risk of malnutrition, and 40,000 Palestinian babies could die as a consequence of starvation. But just miles away at the Egypt and Jordan borders, fresh food is rotting away in the aid trucks.
Join us as we call on Egypt and Jordan to open the border and let life-saving aid in!
What: Stop Starving Gaza Power Hour
When: Wednesday, August 27th at 10AM PT / 12PM CT / 1PM ET
Where: RSVP Here
Israel continues to deny any humanitarian aid to enter; from life-saving medical equipment to medicines, and so much more.
"It's like they're rejecting anything that can give some semblance of humanity," a UN staffer told AFP, requesting anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the press [2].
Will you join us on 8/27 and call on Egypt and Jordan to let aid in?
18MR is collaborating with Dear Asian Youth to host a Stop Starving Gaza Power Hour! Co-sponsored by USCPR, AROC Action, Dissenters, Palestinian Youth Movement, Rising Majority, and Asians 4 Palestine-Twin Cities.
We’ll be doing phone and email zaps to the Jordanian and Egyptian embassies in the United States calling on them to open the borders to let aid into Gaza.
