PETITION CALLING WORLD LEADERS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO ISRAEL–GAZA WAR

Spare Children In War is an international voluntary humanitarian relief aid organization working toward a secured World in which no child's life is torn apart by war and support children to realize their full potential rights to contribute to the good development of their country after war.

The unparalleled escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas and other armed groups has taken a devastating toll on civilians. The level of casualties is unprecedented. Countless lives have been shattered, ripped apart, and upended. With each day that passes more lives are lost and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is getting worse.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Civilian deaths in Gaza continue to rise at a staggering rate amid relentless Israeli bombardment, in response to the horrific attacks in Israel by Hamas and other armed groups that resulted in 1,400 people killed and the abduction of civilians. More than 6,500 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza including through indiscriminate and other unlawful attacks. More than a third of casualties in Gaza are children and countless bodies are still trapped beneath the rubble. Millions more face further displacement, dispossession and suffering.

More than 200 Israeli hostages taken by Hamas and other armed groups and held in Gaza remain in danger, and ongoing indiscriminate rocket fire into Israel places civilians at risk. 

Israel's tightened siege of Gaza has blocked the entry of goods, including water, food and fuel leaving more than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip struggling to survive. The humanitarian catastrophe stemming from Israel's 16-year-long illegal blockade on the occupied

Gaza Strip will only get worse if the fighting doesn't stop immediately. Serious violations of international humanitarian law, including war crimes, by all parties to the conflict continue unabated.

Spare Children In War is gravely concerned for the safety and wellbeing of children in Gaza. As war sweeps through Gaza, children are being killed, injured and forced to flee their homes. It is out of this Spare Children In War is collecting signatures to petition the World leaders in the United Nations Security Council to stop the suffering of Palestinian people in Gaza by calling for:
1. Ceasefire and rescinding of evacuation order.
2. End Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip
3. Two State Solution where both Palestinian and Israeli live side to side in peace.
4. International Israel – Gaza Peace Conference for establishment of Two State Solution.
5. Humanitarian truce into Gaza
6. Israel stop bombardment of Gaza
7. Israel stop indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians in Gaza
8. Respect of international law to protect civilians in Gaza
9. Israel stop targeting Gaza hospitals
10. Negotiate the release of hostages detained in Gaza
11. independent international investigations to take place into the war crimes committed by all parties in order to end long-standing impunity, which will continue to breed further atrocities.
12. Tackling the root causes of this conflict, by dismantling Israel's system of apartheid imposed on Palestinians is now more urgent than ever.
13. Enable medicine, food, fuel, etc to reach Palestinian people and hospitals in Gaza.

We are urging all parties to the conflict to put an end to war, protect humanitarian access, and uphold international humanitarian law. Don't be silent, enough is enough! Children are being killed, injured & forced to flee their homes. Spare Children In War is concerned for the safety of children.
