> with humanity and demand an immediate and lasting ceasefire to halt the
> tragic loss of life and destruction of Palestinian cultural heritage."

> Additionally, the signatories call upon the WMF to "prioritize the
> impartial dissemination of information and accurate, real-time
> documentation of the current human-caused humanitarian disaster and erasure
> of cultural heritage" and to "take proactive measures to ensure the safety
> of volunteers, communities, partners and knowledge and memory institutions
> from Palestine contributing to the dissemination of knowledge."
>
> Since the initial release, several additional groups and individuals have
> signed on to the statement, and others are kindly urged to do the same.
