Amnesty International collected one million signatures from people around the world on a petition demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The organization's director of research, advocacy activities, policies and campaigns, Erika Guevara Rosas, said in a statement issued today, Sunday, that the world is watching with horror more loss of civilian lives in the midst of the ceaseless Israeli bombing and ongoing ground operations.

She added that the continued shooting means the continuation and expansion of the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

In non-final statistics, the Ministry of Health announced that the toll of martyrs and wounded as a result of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October has risen to 11,025 martyrs and more than 27,000 injured.

Rosas continued: Israel's tightening of its siege on Gaza left two million people without access to drinking water, food, medical supplies, and fuel, which led to the collapse of the health system at a time when the number of wounded exceeded 25,000 people. At least 1.5 million were forcibly displaced from their homes to the south of the Strip.

She added: The signatories of the petition called for the protection of civilians, at a time when hundreds of thousands continue to protest around the world to demand a ceasefire, yet their calls have not fallen on deaf ears by the international community.

Rosas pointed out that the occupation authorities continue to dehumanize the Palestinians in their speech while their forces bomb densely populated refugee camps, hospitals, UN-run schools, bakeries, mosques, churches, roads, and civilian homes, eliminating entire families.

She stressed that the international community's inaction is a disgrace to humanity in light of more than a month of civilian bloodshed, destruction, and unimaginable human suffering in Gaza.

She called for international action to achieve an immediate ceasefire, prevent further loss of civilian lives and allow aid to reach those who need it most.
