Dear friends,

A year after the devastating war on Gaza, thousands of children are still
sleeping in the rubble of their homes.

Even though it is a clear violation of international law, Israel's blockade
has restricted basic building materials going in. But no child should be
made to live in the ruins of their home, study with bomb blasts through
their classrooms, or not get basic health care because clinics have been
destroyed..

We have a plan to change this -- Avaaz has joined forces with top aid
agencies working in Gaza to launch an emergency campaign to call on key
donors to get the materials in. As the main governments paying to rebuild
Gaza, they can insist Israel lifts the restrictions.

If we create a worldwide outcry too loud to ignore, we can push our
governments to move beyond words, and ramp up diplomacy to end the blockade.
Sign the petition -- it's time to show our leaders inaction on this
humanitarian crisis is unacceptable:
