GAZA RED ALERT
Dear friends,
Gaza’s southern border has broken open,
350,000 Palestinians are crossing it and Israeli
retaliation is expected. The world must step in
urgently to prevent an explosion – so let's call on
the United Nations, European Union and Arab
League to oversee the opening of borders, and
to help broker the ceasefire which civilians on
all sides desperately need. Please click below to
sign the emergency petition -- we'll deliver it
when we reach 150,000 signatures -- sign now
and forward this email to your friends and family:

The months-old border blockade of Gaza
by Israel has finally hit crisis point. This
week's blackouts caught the attention of
the world, now the situation is slipping out
of control -- militants have blown open Gaza's
southern border with Egypt and Israel could
act by force to close it.
The world can stop this crisis, and help
save civilians on all sides. This isn't about
taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
it's about 1.5 million human beings locked up
in the biggest prison on earth. The blockade
must be lifted and the border opened properly,
with international controls to prevent weapons
smuggling. The missile war between Israel and
Gaza can only be stopped by a reciprocal
ceasefire that Hamas stands ready
to negotiate.
While Israel and the US remain committed
to the failing siege, the UN, European Union
and Arab League could step in to end this
blockade, oversee open borders, and help
broker the ceasefire which civilians on all
sides desperately need -- so sign the
petition and spread the word:

The humanitarian crisis of Gaza is only getting
worse, as patients die in hospitals for lack of
care, and clean drinking water runs low.
Palestinian militants are still launching
missiles at the Israeli town of Sderot, and
Israeli missiles claimed 35 Palestinian
lives last week -- many of them civilian.
No genuine peace talks will be possible
while this crisis continues. In the Israel
-Lebanon war of 2006, we saw how global
pressure and assistance can stop such a
crisis and protect civilians from harm --
we cannot stay silent about the crisis in
Gaza. Please add your name now at the
link above, and forward this message widely.
With hope and determination,
Ricken, Paul, Galit, Esra’a, Pascal, Ben and the whole Avaaz team
