Ceasefire Now: 5 Actions to Take for Gaza

The announcement of a ceasefire deal in Gaza is a desperately needed step, but our work is far from over. This fragile ceasefire must be the beginning of a sustained effort focused on restoring rights, rebuilding lives, and ensuring lasting peace. If you are feeling relieved yet cautious – we hear you. We feel it, too. But we know that a ceasefire is only the beginning. Now is the time to ensure it holds and leads to genuine, sustainable peace.

The Path Forward Must Be Palestinian-Led

The path forward must be rooted in Palestinian self-determination, with Palestinians leading the rebuilding and governance of Gaza and shaping their own future. This ceasefire must immediately unlock full and unrestricted humanitarian access, with all crossings opened and aid flowing freely and safely into every corner of Gaza.

Together, we have the power to ensure this moment marks a real shift toward justice, accountability, and dignity for all. The international community must uphold this ceasefire, investigate war crimes, and support the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.

Will you help us turn this fragile ceasefire into lasting peace and justice?
