Take Action:

Gaza is in the grip of a human-made humanitarian crisis. Thousands of tons of food, medical and emergency shelter aid including blankets and mattresses, donated by countries including the United States and aid organizations, is being denied entry through crossings by both the Israeli and Egyptian governments. The Israeli navy is blockading Gaza's sea front, preventing boats from delivering supplies Gaza, including a Lebanese ship with badly needed plasma.

Call the White House, the Israeli Consulate, the Egyptian consulate, and Congress and demand that:
- Israel and Egypt open all border crossings to Gaza,
- Israel stop its blockade of the sea access to Gaza, and
- Israel end all military action against Gaza (and its occupation of Palestine).

Remind President Obama and Congress that a third of all U.S. foreign aid goes to Israel and Egypt so the U.S. is clearly in a position to put effective pressure on both countries to stop this ongoing assault on the people of Gaza.
