"States must use every available political, economic, and legal tool at their disposal to intervene,"
"World leaders fail to act. Facts are ignored. Testimony is cast aside. And more people are killed as a direct consequence."
"History will undoubtedly judge this moment as a test of humanity. And we are failing,"
More than 20 humanitarian organizations called for urgent international action to halt the war between Israel and Hamas ahead of the UN General Assembly. The groups urged states to use every available political, economic, and legal tool to intervene and protect civilians in Gaza. A UN-appointed commission accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, a charge Israel rejected as "scandalous," saying its military campaign targets Hamas, not civilians. The aid organizations warned that UN member states are treating obligations under international law as optional and failing a test of humanity. The statement cited families surviving on animal food and children eating boiled leaves amid relentless airstrikes. Signatories include Doctors Without Borders, Care International, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Oxfam International.
