                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>UN independent human rights experts has come together to clearly ring the alarm bell on the risk of genocide against the Palestine people in Gaza, and the obligation of all States to take all necessary measures to prevent genocide.</strong></p>
<p>With overwhelming evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza, as well as <em>prima facie</em> evidence engaging the responsibility of all States to prevent genocide, International service for human rights joins more than 160 organisations in calling on all States to support an immediate ceasefire and unconditional and unimpeded access for fuel and humanitarian aid – including water, food, and medical supplies – into the Gaza Strip to alleviate the dire humanitarian crisis. States must also call for the immediate lifting of the 16-year-long illegal blockade and closure. </p>
<p>International service for human rights also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and Palestinians deprived of liberty without due process, Concrete steps to address the root causes of violations, abuses, and the ongoing Israeli military aggression, including through reaffirming the rights of the Palestinian people, ensure investigation and steps towards accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity and other grave violations and abuses committed by both State and non-State actors.</p>]]></content:encoded>
