A coalition of 13 relief groups, including Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, and Oxfam, urged world leaders to press for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to Israeli aggression since last October 7.

In a statement, the organizations called on “French President Emmanuel Macron and the leaders of countries... to do everything in their power for an immediate ceasefire,” on the eve of Paris hosting a humanitarian conference dedicated to the situation in the Gaza Strip.

She added that priorities must also include concrete measures to protect the entire civilian population, ensure the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and respect international humanitarian law.

In addition to Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty, and Oxfam, the list of signatories to the statement includes Action Against Hunger, the Norwegian Refugee Council, and the International Federation for Human Rights.

"We are receiving increasingly desperate pleas for protection and assistance from our humanitarian workers in the besieged Gaza Strip," Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, said in a statement.

He added, "The lack of a humanitarian ceasefire, a humanitarian corridor, and an end to the stifling siege so far is unacceptable." He called for Thursday's humanitarian conference in a hurry on the sidelines of the annual Paris Peace Forum.

Its goal is to “mobilize all partners and stakeholders to respond to the needs” of the people of Gaza, according to what a Macron advisor told reporters on Wednesday, requesting anonymity.

During a meeting in Japan on Wednesday, the foreign ministers of the G7 countries called for “humanitarian truces and corridors” to protect civilians, but without calling for a ceasefire.

The Ministry of Health announced that the toll of martyrs and wounded among our people as a result of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip had risen to 10,515 martyrs and more than 26,000 wounded.
