The “We Are All Gaza, We Are All Palestine” network in al-Bireh, the occupied West Bank, has called for the first-ever global hunger strike in support of Gaza, set to take place on September 16 under the slogan “Your hunger is our hunger.”

Organizers said on Saturday that trade unions and civil society groups across the West Bank, including in al-Khalil, Beit Lahm, Ramallah, Nablus, Qalqilya, Jenin, and Tulkarm, are preparing to join the action despite tightened security measures. The campaign aims to highlight solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and draw international attention to the humanitarian toll of the ongoing Israeli assault.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, 64,803 Palestinians have been killed and at least 164,264 injured since October 7, 2023, figures that continue to rise amid heavy bombardment.

Activists behind the initiative said the strike seeks to pressure world leaders to act to end the war and lift the siege on Gaza. They described it as a collective response to widespread suffering in the enclave, where food shortages and destruction of infrastructure have left hundreds of thousands facing severe hunger.

The network urged supporters worldwide to participate on September 16 by abstaining from food and using social media to amplify the call for an immediate ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Gaza famine deaths exceed 300 

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening at an alarming pace, with United Nations officials warning of a deepening famine as Israeli airstrikes continue to kill civilians across the besieged enclave.

Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told Al Mayadeen earlier in September that hunger-related deaths have now "far surpassed 300," stressing the danger of any new military assault on Gaza City, "the place where famine was declared and is marked by high population density."

Adnan Abu Hasna, Media Adviser for UNRWA, described conditions in Gaza City as "beyond catastrophe." He cautioned that the official casualty figures understate the true toll, since they do not include deaths from untreated diseases or those buried in makeshift graves inside tents.
