Amnesty Int’l urges Biden to demand ceasefire in Gaza

NEW YORK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Amnesty International has called on US President Joe Biden to demand a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and stop the transfer of arms to Israel.

In a post on X, Amnesty also reminded Biden that Israel used US-made munitions to kill more than 30,000 people in Gaza.

“More than 30,000 people have now been killed in Israel’s onslaught on the occupied Gaza Strip, many by US-made munitions,” Amnesty said.

The Gaza Strip has been under relentless Israeli attack since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7.

Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure and facilities.
