We have to ask again

Israel has been ordered to prevent all acts of genocide in Gaza -- but over 200 people were reported killed in the last 24 hours and there's not a single fully functioning hospital left!Until Israel obeys the court order, the threat of genocide grows every day. So here's what we're planning to do.Journalists and human rights investigators are critical. Their evidence enabled judges to make this historic ruling, and with every new photo and eye-witness report, Israel loses more international support -- and its allies could force a ceasefire.But those gathering evidence in Gaza are desperate for funding -- they need computers, cameras, and emergency shelter to keep documenting Israel's war crimes. If we all donate just a bit, we'll help to fuel their critical work, and intensify our campaign on the US and other governments providing military aid to Israel.Your support is critical, Dany -- everything Avaaz does is 100% funded by people like you, and the more we raise the louder we can be.Gaza is being dragged to the gates of hell -- but together we can help stop the horror. Donate what you can now:

Dear friends, Israel has been ordered to prevent all acts of genocide in Gaza -- but over 200 people were reported killed in the last 24 hours and there's not a single fully functioning hospital left! Until Israel obeys the court order, the threat of genocide grows every day. So here's what we're planning to do. Journalists and human rights investigators are critical. Their evidence enabled judges to make this historic ruling, and with every new photo and eye-witness report, Israel loses more international support -- and its allies could force a ceasefire. But those gathering evidence in Gaza are desperate for funding -- they need computers, cameras, and emergency shelter to keep documenting Israel's war crimes. If we all donate just a bit, we'll help to fuel their critical work, and intensify our campaign on the US and other governments providing military aid to Israel. Your support is critical, Dany -- everything Avaaz does is 100% funded by people like you, and the more we raise the louder we can be. Gaza is being dragged to the gates of hell -- but together we can help stop the horror. Donate what you can now: I'LL DONATE R$15 I'LL DONATE R$25 I'LL DONATE R$35 I'LL DONATE R$55 I'LL DONATE R$90 OTHER AMOUNT The world's top court has agreed resoundingly that the warning signs of genocide are everywhere. Israel is blocking food and medicine, innocent civilians are being shot in cold blood, and 85% of Gaza's population is homeless. Now judges have ordered emergency measures to prevent genocidal acts, like the killing of Palestinians, but they cannot enforce the ruling alone. The US and other countries must force Israel to comply -- and we can push them by supporting journalists and human rights groups in Gaza. Avaaz is in touch with groups who are providing evidence in the courts, but major funders are abandoning them and putting investigations in peril. If we raise enough, we could: Launch a thundering global campaign for peace, pushing Israel's allies to enforce the ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza; Support journalists on the ground with protective gear and equipment like cameras, computers, solar-powered chargers and other emergency needs; Fund Palestinian human rights groups as they document war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza and other parts of Palestine; Back lawyers and campaigners who are challenging the supply of weapons to Israel;  Support non-violent activists on the ground, who are protesting and organising for peace and justice; and Fund Avaaz campaigns to defend human rights around the world. Our community refuses to look away from the horrors in Gaza. We promise you, Avaaz won't stop until there's peace and justice, but we cannot do it without you.

100 days of death

First came the bombs. Then the soldiers. Now -- starvation.After 100 days of war, this is the face of Gaza: a starving child, desperate for anything to eat. Half the population is now facing starvation, while mountains of aid are waiting at the border.Aid agencies are begging for access, but Israel is stopping the trucks. We can help.There's 60 million of us -- if we all give whatever we can, we can power a massive campaign, demanding aid is allowed into Gaza and that the war stops. We'll support journalists to expose the full horror being inflicted on children, and supercharge human rights groups that are gathering evidence of war crimes.Over 25,000 people have already been killed, almost half are children. As if that were not enough, now those still alive are being starved. We can't let that happen. Chip in now, and let's build a single deafening cry to save Gaza's children!

Dear friends, First came the bombs. Then the soldiers. Now -- starvation. After 100 days of war, this is the face of Gaza: a starving child, desperate for anything to eat.

Ultimately, only a ceasefire will stop the horror, and Gaza's children are running out of time. But with enough pressure, the brutal blockade on Gaza's aid could finally be lifted! Here's how we could make it happen: Take out hard-hitting ads in key capitals demanding an immediate ceasefire; Support journalists on the ground to get the truth out to the world; Fund human rights groups to document possible war crimes and crimes against humanity; Fly a delegation of emergency doctors on a media and advocacy tour to highlight the urgent threat facing Gaza's people; Supercharge our campaigning for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and peace, justice and dignity for all.  Each of us could make a difference. Give what you can now to fund our urgent appeal to break the blockade -- and bring peace to Gaza. Support us to help save lives, while there's still time:   I'LL DONATE R$15 I'LL DONATE R$25 I'LL DONATE R$35 I'LL DONATE R$55 I'LL DONATE R$90 OTHER AMOUNT Time and time again, Avaaz has stood up for those caught up in conflict.

Gaza's last hope

URGENT! South Africa is suing Israel before the International Court of Justice for alleged genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Within days, the judges could order an immediate ceasefire – but Israel is trying to prevent this. Let's increase pressure to stop the war by urging world leaders to support this push to end the bloodshed. Let's end this horror now! The South African government just urged the International Court of Justice to order an immediate ceasefire for Gaza, alleging Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's government looks set to fight tooth and nail to delay a decision.As millions of innocent people trapped in Palestine hold their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we have an urgent mission: persuade our governments to support South Africa's push to end the bloodshed.Wherever you are, whatever your political views, if in the next 24 hours, we, citizens of the world, unite to unleash a cascade of national support to halt the bombing over Gaza, we have a chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel warned could be a "a genocide in the making". It might be the last one.

Dear friends, The South African government just urged the International Court of Justice to order an immediate ceasefire for Gaza, alleging Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's government looks set to fight tooth and nail to delay a decision. As millions of innocent people trapped in Palestine hold their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we have an urgent mission: persuade our governments to support South Africa's push to end the bloodshed. Wherever you are, whatever your political views, if in the next 24 hours, we, citizens of the world, unite to unleash a cascade of national support to halt the bombing over Gaza, we have a chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel warned could be a "a genocide in the making". It might be the last one. Add your voice now! Israel denies atrocity crimes against the Palestinians, saying its actions are necessary to defeat Hamas after its ruthless attack on October 7th. But there is a rising global fear that Israel's brutal onslaught on Gaza constitutes major war crimes and even a risk of genocide. Over 23,000 Palestinians have already been killed, including reports of at least 10,000 children dead. Now South Africa has brought a ground-breaking case to the ICJ arguing for the court to stop the war. The lawsuit, spanning 84 heartrending pages, accuses Israel of genocide, and cries out for immediate intervention. Every line screams with urgency: stop the killing, end the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. We can't let these words fall on deaf ears. If our nations stand together, filing declarations of support for South Africa's request to bring an end to this war, we can face down Israel's attempt to discredit the case, and try to hasten the court's decision to order an end of the suffering. Every second counts. Let's be the voice that Gaza desperately needs. Add your voice now! We've fought for human rights worldwide – from Sudan to Myanmar to Ukraine. Our united voices have overpowered military might before. Let's rally again for Gaza. Let humanity, peace, compassion, and justice prevail. With unwavering determination, Fadi, Ruth, Patri, John, Will, Abdelrahman, Bieta, Mo, and the Avaaz team P.S. As a global campaigning organization and civic movement, Avaaz relies on expert determination on whether any given situation amounts to genocide. To date, that determination has not been made with respect to Israel's actions in Gaza. However, human rights organisations like Amnesty International have reported on "the staggering scale of the death and destruction" in Gaza, as well as "an appalling spike in dehumanizing and racist rhetoric against Palestinians by certain Israeli government and military officials." In November 2023 UN experts warned of a "grave risk of genocide" for the Palestinian people. Dozens of states have supported South Africa's detailed submission.
