in Gaza. Wednesday, February 7, 12pm-1:15pm Eastern. Register Now

Dear Friends,

With doctors operating by torchlight without anesthetics or antibiotics,
parents unable to shelter their children after fleeing homes in panic, and
millions on the brink of famine, the Israel-Hamas war has pushed Gazans
into a humanitarian catastrophe.

The World Health Organization warns that unless fighting stops and
substantially more aid is delivered immediately, the death toll in Gaza
from hunger and preventable disease could overtake the number killed in
the crossfire. Urgently addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not
only a moral imperative but a vital US and Israeli national security
priority.

Israeli and Palestinian humanitarian groups and human rights activists are
doing heroic work to press for urgent humanitarian access. The J Street
Policy Center is pleased to host two leading advocates for an essential
discussion this Wednesday, introduced by Senator Peter Welch of Vermont.

Wednesday, February 7
12pm-1:15pm Eastern | 9am-10:15am Pacific

Senator Peter Welch is a longtime J Street champion and a leader in the
push for Congress and the White House to urgently and effectively address
the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Tania Hary is the Executive Director of the Gaza-focused Israeli human
rights group Gisha and has been an outspoken advocate for rights of
families in Gaza, slamming the Netanyahu administration for “not even
skimming the surface” of its humanitarian obligations under international
law.

Ahmed Alkhatib, a Palestinian-American humanitarian advocate who grew up
in Gaza, has watched his family members steadily grow thinner and weaker
as the war has dragged on. In October, an air strike destroyed his family
home, killing 30 immediate and extended family members. As the founder of
Project Unified Assistance, an NGO that advocates for a UN-operated
airport in Gaza, Ahmed continues to passionately press for urgent
humanitarian assistance as he seeks to build solidarity and understanding
between Palestinians, Israelis and Jewish Americans.

I hope you will join us for a ground-level view of the crisis, the drivers
exacerbating the situation, and how, together, we can chart a better
course and prevent further suffering.
