Montreal, January 28, 2025. A new report signed by 26 NGOs operating in Gaza, including M\u00e9decins du Monde, revealed that Israeli authorities have failed in every respect to improve humanitarian access over the past year despite the ruling issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in January 2024. This judicial decision required Israel to implement immediate provisional measures to protect Palestinians in Gaza from acts of genocide and irreparable harm to their rights. While a pause in hostilities has finally allowed for a more proportionate and appropriate entry of aid, NGOs are calling for a permanent ceasefire and demanding that those responsible be held accountable to prevent the repetition of cycles of neglect and impunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5008,"template":"","actualite_type":[10,176],"actualite_sujet":[180],"action_combat":[],"mdm_pays":[],"class_list":["post-5155","actualite","type-actualite","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","actualite_type-international-actions","actualite_type-press-releases","actualite_sujet-emergency-gaza"],"acf":{"mise_en_avant":false,"chapeau":"Montreal, January 28, 2025.

A survey was conducted by NGOs including M\u00e9decins du Monde, Oxfam, Islamic Relief, and ActionAid. It revealed the systematic refusal and restriction by Israeli authorities in the delivery of aid, essential goods, and services, both at the entry to Gaza and within the territory, despite the provisional measures issued by the ICJ on January 26, 2024. No concrete action has been observed to address the needs and improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza.<\/a> This inaction has led to a worsening of the crisis, in flagrant violation of the ICJ\u2019s ruling. The non-compliance with these measures occurs in the context of large-scale Israeli attacks. These offensives have caused the deaths of numerous civilians. They have also destroyed essential civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and health facilities.<\/a><\/p>\n The delivery of essential goods such as food, water, fuel, shelter, and sanitation and hygiene equipment has fallen well below the minimum required for the survival of Palestinians.<\/p>\n Nadja Pollaert, Executive Director of M\u00e9decins du Monde Canada<\/h2>\n The report also highlights the failure of third-party states to prevent the atrocities committed against Palestinians, particularly the risk of genocide. It underscores that some states continue to supply arms to the Israeli government while refraining from condemning violations of international law or taking concrete measures to prevent these violations.<\/p>\n NGOs are demanding sustained and unhindered humanitarian access and are calling on the international community to urgently address the ongoing violations of international law committed by Israeli authorities.<\/p>\n M\u00e9lissa Cabana, Director of Communications<\/p>\n M\u00e9decins du Monde Canada<\/p>\n melissa.cabana@medecinsdumonde.ca<\/a><\/p>\n 514-799-8985<\/p>\nIn a survey, 35 NGOs shared their operational experience in Gaza from the ICJ\u2019s ruling on January 26, 2024, until the ceasefire agreement that began on January 19, 2025:<\/h3>\n

\u201cAlthough aid is finally beginning to enter in a more proportionate manner, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains catastrophic, and the coming weeks will be crucial. Faced with massive destruction, including 90% of buildings destroyed and a nearly collapsed healthcare system, only an immediate and lasting ceasefire will enable a vital humanitarian response.\u201d<\/p>\n
