ACTION ALERT
For Immediate Release
November 17, 2008
BREAK THE SIEGE OF GAZA NOW!
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, calls on all its chapters
and members, supporting organizations and individuals to organize
demonstrations to demand an end to the siege of the Gaza Strip.
On November 5, Israel completely sealed the Strip's border crossings after
launching an unprovoked attack that killed six Palestinians. Most of the
Gaza Strip is without power due to lack of fuel, and the United Nations has
been forced to stop food distribution to those in need.
The humanitarian situation is dire for the people in the Gaza Strip, most
importantly the children. The strip is home to 1.5 million Palestinians, 80%
of whom are refugees denied by the Zionist state the right to return to
their homes and lands of origin from which they were expelled by the
Zionist occupation in 1948.
