By Giulio Coppi, Marwa Fatafta| Access Now@ In October 2023, Access Now joined more than 680 other civil society organizations in calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. More than a year later, this call has gone unheeded. Israel’s relentless and brutal assault on Gaza has now killed more than people, 70 percent of whom are women and children, with another 732 Palestinians killed in the West Bank.
By Marwa Fatafta| Access Now@ The war in Gaza is one of the deadliest and most destructive wars in recent history — creating a “hell on Earth.” In just over a year, more women and children have been killed by the Israeli military than in any other conflict over the past two decades. On average, 10 children a day lose one or both legs. More than 902 entire families have been obliterated; at least 17,000 children have been orphaned; and 90 percent of the population has been displaced, some as many as 10 times.
