Caritas strongly condemns Israel's 'machinery of annihilation' in Gaza (Caritas Internationalis)
Wednesday, 27 August 2025 ()
Caritas Internationalis, the Church’s confederation of relief and development agencies, strongly condemned Israeli actions in Gaza.
“On August 20, 2025, Israeli forces stormed Gaza City, where nearly one million displaced civilians had sought refuge, many already starving,” Caritas stated. “Gazans have long endured a deliberate descent into starvation. This is not a tragic accident.”
“The siege of Gaza has become a machinery of annihilation, sustained by impunity and the silence, or complicity, of powerful nations,” Caritas added. “Famine here is not a natural disaster, but the outcome of a deliberate strategy: blocking aid, bombing food convoys, destroying infrastructure, and denying basic needs.”
Caritas issued seven demands, including “an immediate and permanent ceasefire,” “unrestricted humanitarian access to end starvation and provide care,” and the “release of all hostages and arbitrarily detained persons.”
