USPC Statement - Dec 2024
The genocide has to stop! Over 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment since October 7, 2023. Over 100,000 seriously injured, 9,000 Palestinians are held hostage in Israeli prisons, and over 4,000 in administrative detention. Israel’s war on Gaza has displaced over 1.8 million Palestinians, who are now living under severe, inhumane conditions. Recently, the Israeli occupation forces targeted and assassinated the Gaza Soup Kitchen Chef Mahmoud Almadhoun, who had fed Palestinians suffering hunger due to Israel’s blockade of vital food aid. His loss is a devastating reminder of the immense cruelty of the Israeli occupation.
