Gaza brûle. Mardi 16 septembre 2025, au petit matin, l’armée israélienne a déchaîné une violence d’une intensité inouïe sur la bande de Gaza, pulvérisant des blocs d’immeubles entiers, ensevelissant des familles sous les décombres, transformant cette prison à ciel ouvert de 2,3 millions d’habitants en un véritable enfer sur terre.

Il y a des bombardements massifs et incessants sur la ville de Gaza et le danger ne cesse d’augmenter.

The US Congress will resume session on September 3, 2025, and the atmosphere in Washington is electric. Lawmakers have exactly 27 days to avoid what everyone fears: another government shutdown that would literally paralyze the world's leading power. This time, the stakes are colossal. We're talking about 2.1 million federal workers who risk going without pay, national parks closed, essential services disrupted... and an American economy that could lose up to $6 billion per week.

The signatory states  here below condemn "the rationing of humanitarian aid and the inhumane massacres of civilians and urge the Israeli government to "immediately lift the restrictions it imposes on the delivery of humanitarian aid" so that the United Nations and NGOs can "carry out their vital work effectively and safely."

The United Nations on Friday, August 22, officially declared a famine in Gaza, the first in the Middle East, with its experts saying 500,000 people were facing "catastrophic" hunger.

Israel plans to fully occupy the Gaza Strip and forcibly displace the residents of Gaza City from the north of the territory to the south.

The decision comes at a time when starvation has severely gripped the Gaza Strip. According to UN officials, since late May, nearly 1,400 people struggling to obtain basic food supplies have been killed through Israel’s failed food distribution. In addition, more than 500,000 people in Gaza are facing starvation, and all 320,000 children under the age of 5 are at risk of severe malnutrition.
