Hello everyone,
As most of us know, 1.5 million Palestinians in
Gaza are going through a devastating time with
the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip. Israel has blocked
the shipment of fuel to Gaza, cutting off the only source
of electricity in Gaza. This inhumane siege is causing
shortages of food, medication and other fundamental
necessities, in turn causing much suffering and deaths.

This siege must be put to an end. We need everyone's
input and participation in order to make a difference
and have an impact on our government's role in
pressuring Israel to lift the siege.
Canada was the ONLY country that voted
against a resolution that:
Global pressure and assistance can help
stop a crisis and protect civilians from harm.
