Statement: Response to Israeli Forces Opening Fire on Palestinians Waiting in Line for Food Aid

Statement: Response to Israeli Forces Opening Fire on Palestinians Waiting in Line for Food Aid

February 29, 2024

Tom Hart, President and CEO of InterAction, the leading alliance of non-governmental organizations and partners in the United States, released the following statement in response to the alarming news of Israeli forces opening fire on Palestinians waiting in line for food aid in Gaza.

“I implore President Biden and his Administration: When will you say ‘enough is enough’? The safeguarding of Gaza’s civilian population is of utmost importance, and the relentless onslaught of violence must come to an immediate halt.

“Whether termed a humanitarian pause, a ceasefire, or by any other name, we urgently call for an end to the violence to prevent further civilian casualties and provide them humanitarian relief.”

Urgent Call for De-escalation and Protection of Civilians in Lebanon
As the conflict intensifies in Lebanon, the devastating toll on civilians and humanitarian workers grows more severe by the day. We are gravely concerned for the safety of those caught in the crossfire and directly affected by the escalating violence. The humanitarian crisis, already compounded by Lebanon’s economic collapse, has now reached a critical tipping point with thousands of people being displaced. The escalation of the conflict will stretch our Members’ operations to the limit, leaving them and those who they serve exhausted and resources depleted.
