Enough Blood Shed

Enough Blood Shed!
It is the time to build bridges for peace

Jesoor organization urges international communities, human
rights institutions and organizations, and European
communities to intervene to end the siege of Gaza and
prevent further humanitarian deterioration of conditions for
Palestinians. Living conditions amongst Palestinians,
particularly in the Gaza Strip, is devastating--most days there
is no electricity and sonic bombs are a daily and nightly
occurrence.

The most recent escalation has led to the imprisonment of
approximately 1.5 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. They
are living under strict closure, lack basic human necessities
like milk for children, clean water, electricity and food.
Thousands of children and vulnerable groups are being
affected.

Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PSBC, 20.07.2006)
indicated that 200,000 Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip
are living without electricity. Lack of fuel made all medical,
health and humanitarian services are almost impossible.
Some 200 surgical operations have been cancelled and 250
patients with renal failure are unable to get the medical and
dialysis services needed in addition to 112 patients with
chronic diseases are in shortage of medication. It is expected
that child physical and mental health problems such as
nightmares, anxiety symptoms, bed witting are increasing.

We urge all those who believe in peace, prosperity, dignity
and humanity to put pressure on the Israeli government to
stop this escalation and to end the collective punishment of an
entire civilian population. We urge you put pressure on Israel
to re-open the borders allowing for free movements of
medication and allowing hundreds of women, children and
patients who were discharged from Egyptian hospitals to
return back to their houses, and thus, allowing the Palestinian
community to live in peace and preventing further
deterioration of Palestinian civil society.

We urge you on the name of humanity to send letters to your
respective governments to intervene and save hundreds
thousands of lives and to help both nations to build the
bridges of peace and dignity.
