From:aziz baameur To:All Council Members Cc:Gmail 2 Subject:EXTERNAL - In support of the Hilton ceasefire resolution Date:Monday, February 26, 2024 11:26:18 AM Respected members of the Gilroy City Council. I am writing to ask you to support the Hilton ceasefire resolution. A ceasefire is the first step to helping the besieged population of Gaza. As of yesterday, a 2-month baby died of starvation. A new study of London School of Hygiene and Johns Hopkins University focusing on the projected non-lethal impacts on the population concluded: in addition to 30,000 deaths, there are 70,000 (mostly youth) that have survived severe injuries (one or two limbs missing) who will be and will be challenged finding food. If a ceasefire is implemented, the study expects between 6,000 and 11,000 to die from malnutrition With ceasefire, 12% of kids under 5 yrs-old will experience acute malnutrition Without a ceasefire and with continued bombing and shelling, 50% will be affected by malnutrition The study concludes that the solutions are: Ceasefire that would save 75,000 lives Safe access to food Safe access to Water Safe access to medication Safe access to shelter I hope you find the determination and the courage to stand for the right of innocent civilians and vote for a ceasefire.
