Calls for Immediate Action to End Humanitarian Catastrophe
NEW YORK, NY — The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) strongly condemns the deliberate starvation of the people of Gaza, a grave humanitarian crisis and an affront to every moral and legal standard.
ICNA emphasizes that the use of starvation as a weapon is not only immoral—it is a crime under international law, prohibited by the Geneva Conventions and widely condemned by global institutions.
ICNA urges:
– World leaders and governments to lift the blockade immediately and allow full access to humanitarian aid.
– The U.S. government to cease all forms of support—military, political, or financial—that enable these atrocities.
– All people of conscience to raise their voices: contact elected officials, engage in peaceful advocacy, and pray for the people of Gaza.
ICNA also reminds the faithful of the words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:
We pray:
O Allah, feed their hungry, clothe their bare, heal their sick, and lift their suffering. Grant them relief, justice, and peace.
As the Qur’an reminds us:
“Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil…?” (Qur’an 27:62)
