Dear Friend,

Right now, Palestinians in Gaza — especially children — are at risk of starvation. Food, clean water, fuel, and essential medical supplies are blocked from reaching families who desperately need them.

This is not just a crisis. It is a violation of international law. Starvation is being used as a weapon of war.

At Amnesty International, we believe in the power of humanity — in solidarity, dignity, and justice for all. That’s why we are calling on the Canadian government to demand not just full humanitarian access into Gaza but also an immediate end to Israel’s blockade. Join us in calling for the end of the blockade. »

Your signature will help pressure Canada to uphold its responsibility to protect human rights and stop risking complicity in war crimes. Together, we can amplify the urgent calls of Palestinians in Gaza, aid workers, and international legal experts.

Every day, more lives are lost. But with your support, we can help end the blockade and the genocide. Because no child should go to sleep hungry. No family should be cut off from medical care. And no community should be punished through starvation.

Thank you for imagining a better future and taking action to make it happen!

In solidarity,
Lysanne Louter, Manager of Marketing & Engagement
Amnesty International Canada
