Global Actions for Peace in Gaza

The latest news from Gaza is bleak.
13 days into the conflict, the death toll has risen to more than 680, with thousands more injured. 1.5 million people, 56% of them children, are trapped inside Gaza, an area about 6 miles wide and 27 miles long, by the Israeli blockade.

With the killing of innocents sheltering in a school under administration of and within a UN Refugee Camp, this tragedy spiraled beyond imagining.

Humanitarians, Lightworkers and individuals who are just simply People with Conscience are being stirred by this senseless act of brutality and utter disconnection with the understanding of our shared humanity. Many support Israel’s right to exist, but does that negate the Palestinian’s right to also exist? Don’t basic human rights exist on both sides of the wall that Israel built to “quarantine” the Gaza Strip?

You can help. You can make a difference.

Every action, no matter how small, ripples out farther than we can imagine. When our ripples combine, we can create a wave that can change the world.

Humanity Healing supports the following petitions to stop the immediate bloodshed.
