A military assault on Rafah would be an unbearable escalation, killing thousands more civilians & forcing hundreds of thousands to flee.
 
It would have a devastating impact on Palestinians in Gaza, with serious repercussions on the occupied West Bank & across the wider region.

States must stop fueling the crisis in Gaza and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe and loss of civilian life.

Join us on Parliament Hill for the Global Day of Action on May 2 as we call on Canada to stop sending arms to Israel.
