Statement by Palestine Forum of New Zealand
The Palestine Forum of New Zealand expresses its profound alarm at the latest documentation by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, which details the continuing humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. The report presents further evidence of the systematic destruction of civilian life, infrastructure, and the conditions necessary for survival.
These are not isolated incidents. They form part of a sustained pattern of conduct that demands urgent international attention, accountability, and action in accordance with international humanitarian and human rights law.
We call on the New Zealand Government to uphold its longstanding commitment to human rights by:
- Demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
- Supporting unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza.
- Holding perpetrators of violations of international law accountable.
- Working alongside the international community to ensure justice for the Palestinian people.
Silence in the face of documented atrocities is not neutrality, it is complicity.
The Palestine Forum of New Zealand stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people and reaffirms its commitment to advocating for justice, accountability, freedom, and a future founded on equality, dignity, and lasting peace.
