Rise Up is deeply concerned about the profound humanitarian impact the Israel-Palestine crisis is having on innocent civilians and the immense challenges they are experiencing. We recognize the importance of upholding human rights, dignity, and international humanitarian law.

The reports of civilian casualties, displacement, and disruptions to essential services are devastating. As a global nonprofit organization advancing gender equity and justice, we appeal for an immediate ceasefire to aid the affected communities, and we amplify the UN Gaza resolution calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce.” The international community’s shared responsibility to resolve this urgent humanitarian crisis remains paramount, and we call on the United States government to sign and take action on the UN resolution.

As we navigate these challenging times, we stand in solidarity with the innocent civilians affected by this conflict and contribute to a collective effort to alleviate their suffering.
