Five year old Canadian born Amir Alaloul went to Gaza with his family to visit their relatives and have been unable to leave Gaza for the past 5 months. The border with Egypt has been closed and he does not have the required paper work to leave through the Israeli boarder.
The Israelis give passage to thousands of Palestinians through cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Government. Because Amir Alaloul is Canadian the Israeli government requires the Canadian Government to take steps to negotiate the passage. The Canadian Government has not take any steps to do so for Amir Alaloul his family and other Canadians who are stuck in the Gaza Strip. Thus these Canadians are trapped in one of the most deadly locations on earth.
If the the Canadian Government does not take steps to Amir will face great risks to his life, safety and education.
Gaza is an open air prison where people cannot come or go.
Here are some facts about Gaza According to the United Nation:
- In 2014 a total of 2205 people were killed by Israel including 521 children.
- The unemployment rate is over 40%
- The poverty rate is over 70%
- Over 108 000 people are homeless
- Over 500 000 are internally displaced.
We are requesting the Canadian Government to facilitate the safe passage of 5 year old Amir Alaloul and his family out of the Gaza Strip and back to his country of birth Canada.
