The World Federation of Trade Unions expresses its deepest outrage and unequivocal condemnation of the new barbaric military attack and deliberate, systematic, and inhumane policy of starvation being imposed upon the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation forces.
We denounce the use of famine as a weapon of war — a blatant violation of international law and basic human morality. The calculated destruction of vital infrastructure, the blockade of humanitarian aid, the bombing of food distribution centers, and the targeting of agricultural lands and water supplies constitute a man-made famine. These actions amount to collective punishment, a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The escalation of the genocide with the blessing and support of the USA, EU and their allies, reveals once again the hypocrisy and cynicism of the imperialist powers.
The WFTU stands in unwavering solidarity with the heroic people of Palestine who, despite enduring an unprecedented siege, continue to resist with dignity and courage. We salute the Palestinian working class, whose suffering is immense and whose resilience is inspiring in the face of genocide, forced displacement, and systematic starvation.
The class oriented international trade union, demands an immediate end to the siege on Gaza; full and unrestricted humanitarian access to food, water, medicine, and fuel; accountability for those responsible for crimes against humanity.
Hands off Gaza! End the occupation! Solidarity with Palestine!
