N2 - The last 22 months, Palestinians have been living through starvation, forced displacement, indiscriminate killing, the blockade of humanitarian aid at the borders and the deliberate destruction of health facilities and ambulances by the Israeli army.1 This is not simply a humanitarian crisis. It is a public health catastrophe—engineered by the Israeli government, and recognized as a man-made famine2 and a genocide.3 Despite this, European governments have remained surprisingly silent for almost two years of its unfolding, or—worse—actively complicit. Symbolic actions now are not enough. We call on all European States to take immediate, coordinated, and courageous action to stop the mass suffering and uphold the international legal system.
