The most visible genocide in history continues as Israel drops bomb after bomb on Palestinian families while they starve in refugee camps, schools, homes, and hospitals. The Lancet, one of the highest-impact academic journals in the world, estimates Israel has killed more than 186,000 Palestinians since October 2023. Carpet bombings, deliberate starvation campaigns, and snipering of children have compelled Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the ICJ to accuse Israel of committing genocide. 

Today, Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world. Since 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 460 aid workers, 1,000 medical staff, and 232 journalists. And thousands of Palestinians face torture and sexual abuse in prisons where systemic assaults by soldiers are well-doucmented, just as they were decades earlier.

With $4 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars sent to Israel in March 2025 and another $8 billion approved by the Trump admin, America continues to support and perpetuate this genocide. Even at U.S.-backed food distribution sites, Israeli forces are shooting starving Palestinians waiting for aid: A UN report from June 2025 finds Israel has killed 400 people at these aid sites alone since May 27.

To further limit aid in Gaza, Israel also banned UNRWA, a UN agency, on January 30, 2025. UNRWA was created to support Palestinians who were forcibly removed from their homeland by the creation of Israel. Despite Israel’s ban, UNRWA is continuing its humanitarian work as much as possible. Please consider giving, especially in light of Trump’s desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
