Ceasefire in Gaza: A Human Rights Day Imperative

A statement by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) issued on Human Rights Day 2024 calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and highlighting the intersection of climate justice, human rights, and the Palestinian struggle.

• Friends of the Earth International describes the situation in Palestine as both a genocide and an ecocide, noting a death toll exceeding 43,000 people, with women and children accounting for at least 56% of those deaths.
• Friends of the Earth Brazil highlights the environmental consequences of the conflict, specifically the destruction of renewable energy infrastructure, agricultural production, and waterways, which has led to biodiversity and health crises in Palestinian territories.
• FoEI is calling for international mobilization and fundraising to provide resources for Palestinians in Gaza, specifically to install water purification systems and bring green energy to refugee camps.
• Member groups and allies across Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa—including organizations such as Walhi, Sahabat Alam Malaysia, and La Via Campesina—assert that climate justice is unattainable without a free and liberated Palestine.
