Watch a joint statement delivered at the #HRC45, urging the Council "to address the root causes of the escalating crisis in the Gaza Strip by calling on Israel to fully, immediately and unconditionally end its illegal closure of Gaza" #LiftTheClosure!

"With sharply rising COVID-19 cases in Gaza, the health sector now faces total collapse ... The blockade, which contravenes international law, has conclusively failed to deliver security or peace for Israelis and Palestinians, and should urgently be lifted."

[lifttheclosure @lifttheclosure]

During #HRC45, UN High Commissioner @mbachelet urged Israel to lift its unlawful closure on #Gaza: "the blockade by sea and land, which Israel has imposed for 13 years... contravenes international law... and should urgently be lifted." #LiftTheClosure!

At a time when #Palestinians are exceptionally susceptible to #COVID19 the stakes of ongoing #silencing could not be higher: "Lives are in the balance, & medical and scientific communities... should agree that purveyors of #censorship must be exposed, not tolerated." #EndImpunity

[lifttheclosure @lifttheclosure]

Although pervasive, #censorship of #Palestine in medical literature remains relatively unknown. In March, a letter highlighting the susceptibility of Palestinians in #Gaza to #COVID19 was removed from @TheLancet's website: https://t.co/bidNTZOXGN

13 years of Israeli closure on Gaza and counting... #LiftTheClosure

[lifttheclosure @lifttheclosure]

In 2013, Ban Ki Moon, the #UN Secretary-General stated that Israel’s closure and related restrictions on #Gaza amount to unlawful #CollectivePunishment as they “target and impose hardship on the civilian population, effectively penalizing them for acts they have not committed.”

[lifttheclosure @lifttheclosure]

Since 2012, the UN has repeatedly warned that #Gaza would become uninhabitable in 2020 should Israel fail to lift the illegal closure, which has undermined all aspects in life in #Gaza and amounts to collective punishment. #StopCollectivePunishment & #LiftTheClosure!

[Neil Sammonds @neilsai]

It was good to be part of this webinar on the illegal blockade/closure of Gaza, & to highlight the impact on healthcare & health.
Israel collectively punishing Gaza's population for 13 years & counting.

Due to the illegal closure, #Gaza is often described as the world’s largest open-air prison. #StopCollectivePunishment and #LiftTheClosure!

Yesterday, the #UN Special Rapporteur on #Palestine presented his new report on #collectivepunishment to @UN_HRC: "It is an affront to justice and the rule of law to see that such methods continue to be used in the 21st century." #StopCollectivePunishment https://t.co/t5aD1aFUrN

[lifttheclosure @lifttheclosure]

For 13 years, #Israel, the #OccupyingPower, has imposed a land, sea and air blockade and comprehensive closure on the #Gaza Strip, imposing unlawful collective punishment over 2 million Palestinians. #StopCollectivePunishment and #LiftTheClosure!

[lifttheclosure @lifttheclosure]

فرضت إسرائيل، #القوة_القائمة_بالاحتلال، حصارًا بريًا وبحريًا وجو��ًا وإغلاقًا شاملاً على قطاع #غزة لمدة 13 عامًا. وبالتالي، فرضت عقابًا ��ماعيًا غير قانونيًا على مليوني فلسطيني/ة. #ارفعوا_الحصار و #اوقفوا_العقوبات_الجماعية
