Leaders of more than 20 aid agencies urged the international community on Sept. 17 to intervene in the Gaza Strip, calling on all parties to “disavow violence against civilians ... and pursue peace.”
The aid groups, including the Norwegian Refugee Council, Save the Children, and Action for Humanity, said in a joint statement that states must use every available tool at their disposal. The letter does not mention the Hamas terrorist group or the Israeli hostages still held in the Gaza Strip.
