AIDA Statement: Marking one year of devastation
The Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA) has released a statement to mark one year of unprecedented atrocity crimes and suffering in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel.
‘As we mark one year of devastation and the collective punishment of an entire civilian population, we stand in collective mourning and condemnation of the atrocity crimes committed over the past 12 months. It is not too late for the global community to act. We urge leaders to implement a ceasefire, protect civilians, ensure humanitarian access, secure the release of hostages and unlawfully detained civilians, address the conflict’s root causes, fully uphold international law including halting the export of arms to warring parties ensure accountability by triggering international mechanisms, and support investigations into these atrocities, and genuinely work towards an end of Israel’s illegal occupation.’
As observer members of AIDA, Embrace wholly endorses the statement. We encourage you to read it in full.
