A Broken Promise
The Rafah crossing, located between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, was once hailed as a gateway to freedom for Palestinians. Following the signing of the Agreement on Movement and Access in November 2005, a monumental promise was made to the people of Gaza. For the first time since 1967, Palestinians were to gain control over entry and exit from their territory via an international crossing at Rafah—free from Israeli control.
A Global Call for Justice
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels, raising urgent questions about international accountability and the enforcement of human rights standards. For years, Israel's blockade of Gaza has severely restricted access to essential supplies, leaving millions of Palestinians in dire conditions. These actions, widely regarded as "collective punishment," are in direct violation of international humanitarian law, specifically Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
