14 june 2021 - A global coalition of leaders – from civil society through to academia, politics and Nobel laureates – have joined together in signing an open letter to call on President Biden to help bring an end to Israel’s institutionalized domination and oppression of the Palestinian people and protect their fundamental human rights.

May 21st, 2021 - After 11 days of intensive attacks on the Gaza Strip and the firing of missiles into Israel, a ceasefire was agreed yesterday.

Joint Statement, 20 May 2021 - The Israeli military has been attacking one of the most densely populated areas in the world, the Gaza Strip, unrelentingly since the evening of May 10. The death toll is now over 219 Palestinians including 63 children and 35 women. Many Palestinians in Gaza, including aid workers, have reported that this is the most intense attack from Israel they have ever experienced, far surpassing the intensity of the 50 days war in 2014. Rockets fired from Gaza by Palestinian armed groups have indiscriminately targeted Israeli civilians, killing 12 Israelis, including two children.

As we commemorate the Great March of Return in the Gaza Strip, Premiere Urgence Internationale would like to share the attached statement developed with AIDA (Association of International Development Agencies). During demonstrations hundreds have been killed and thousands have been injured by Israeli forces near the fence. Premiere Urgence Internationale as part of its emergency response has been providing assistance to Gazans affected during the Great March of Return, including farmers and fishers in the Access Restricted Area.

Jersualem, 10 February 2021 - The Association of International Development Agencies in Palestine (AIDA), representing over 80 INGOs working in Palestine and Israel, calls on Israel to immediately halt the illegal and forcible transfer of the community of Humsa Al Bqai’a in the Jordan Valley. AIDA also urges the international community to resort to appropriate measures to bring Israel into compliance with its legal obligations as an occupying power and to prevent further violations, as we have seen occurring with disturbing pace.

23 Israeli, Palestinian and international health and human rights organizations: Israel must provide necessary vaccines to Palestinian health care systems.

Ramallah, 9th of November, 2020 - In this unprecedented time of global pandemic, we all want to protect ourselves and our children, and we all have the right to live in a safe environment, in dignity, exercising our universal and unalienable right to healthcare. In the occupied Palestinian territory, risk and concerns remain very high, and these basic rights are not upheld at the moment. Three organisations: The Danish House in Palestine, Tamer Institute for Community Education and Premiere Urgence Internationale join efforts to help families and support safe and healthy communities.
