Due to the growing humanitarian crisis in the Middle East, and the increasing concern over military actions against civilians, RICMA calls for an immediate cease-fire and condemns the escalating violence and loss of civilian life in Israel and in Lebanon.

RICMA urges President Bush, members of congress, and all foreign officials to help put an end to the violence. RICMA is asking for and will support a U.N. resolution that addresses the conflict with a long-term solution that respects the rights of all parties involved, brings all parties to the negotiating table, and brings peace and prosperity to the region.

Let us join hands together to put an end to the suffering of our brothers and sisters in humanity.
