Lisa Grande, the Biden administration's Middle East aid envoy, reportedly demanded that Israel clarify its humanitarian policy in Gaza during a phone call with Ghassan Alian, head of the Israeli military body responsible for Palestinian civil affairs (Cogat), Israel's Channel 12 reported.

Grande insisted Israel publicly declare it is not following a policy of deliberately starving Palestinians in Gaza. She also called for the cancellation of evacuation orders for civilians, allowing them to return home, and for a detailed plan to protect civilian infrastructure.

please, please, please, tell us you are not doing it "intentionally", then do what ever you feel like, we will be fine - #GenocideJoe

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation committed a bloody massacre when an airstrike targeted a gathering of aid workers in the Qizan Al-Najjar area in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, killing 6 civilians and injuring several others.

Israeli occupation army persists in its systematic and deliberate targeting of aid workers and their centers for the past 13 months, in an attempt to spread chaos and impose famine on Palestinians amid its severe siege of the Gaza Strip, which prevents the entry of essential supplies.

UNBELIEVABLE: As the Israeli occupation persists in its siege on the Gaza Strip for the 13th consecutive month, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and fuel, more than 2 million Palestinians are enduring harsh conditions to meet their daily needs, leaving them at risk of death from starvation and the lack of essential resources.

#UN Acting Humanitarian Chief, Joyce Msuya, stated that the situation in Gaza is reminiscent of the worst international crimes since the League of Nations was established in 1919.

She reported over 10,000 Palestinian bodies under rubble, with Israel blocking rescue equipment. 70% of Gaza’s buildings are destroyed, aid is blocked, and hospitals and shelters have been attacked.

Euro-Med Media: As Israel insists on using starvation as weapon, famine in northern Gaza must be officially declared

 
Palestinian Territory – Given that Israel has blocked the entry of goods and aid to the hundreds of thousands of besieged residents in the northern #Gaza Strip for more than 50 days now, the relevant international and #UN organisations must formally declare #famine in the region. #Israel’s use of #starvation as a #weapon is one component of its ongoing #genocide in the Strip, which also includes mass killings and forced displacement.
 
Due to the illegal Israeli blockade on the enclave, 10s of thousands of Palestinians, including dozens of patients in three #hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, are in immediate danger of starvation or long-term health consequences.

Barbarian IDF in action : investigation by the Hebrew newspaper #Haaretz: The occupation army refuses to protect aid trucks coming to the #Gaza Strip, and bombs the #Palestinian police, when they advanced to protect the aid from looting

Israel is maximizing their total control over aid entering Gaza to starve as many Palestinians as possible.

By preventing the local police to handle the food, they push desperate people to attack the food in poor depression to grab aa much as they can for their families and themselves.

Instead of letting local activists to take the food and distribute it to those in need, they are creating the modern version of the #HungerGame while the world stands by and watch the close to a million people in northern Gaza to fight each other in a desperate attempt to survive.

This is the entertainment for the evil monsters in Israel and the "civilized" world.

Haaretz: The #Knesset approved in second and third readings a bill that prohibits the operations of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (#UNRWA) in Israel. This was done without actually developing any alternative to UNRWA's operations in the #Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, and despite opposition and criticism from several countries in the West and Arab world. Together with another proposal currently under Knesset discussion, these bills are designed to hinder UNRWA's activities in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, and to cause it economic damage. 92 Knesset members supported the bill, with 10 opposing. Knesset members from Yesh Atid, HaMachaneh HaMamlachti, and Yisrael Beiteinu supported the bill. Labor Party members were absent from the vote.

A video has gone viral on social media, allegedly showing #Hamas fighters shooting at humanitarian airdrops. Posts sharing the video suggest that, despite Israel's efforts to provide aid, Hamas is the primary barrier to assistance reaching civilians.

The video is digitally manipulated and does not show Hamas fighters shooting at humanitarian airdrops. It consists of two unrelated clips edited together.

PS. It is surprising to see something remotely impartial from DW these days!

#Israel has blocked 250,000 aid trucks into #Gaza

This was part of Israel’s strategy of reinforcing the starvation policy and using it as a weapon of war against civilians and against children, especially by preventing the entry of food, baby milk and nutritional supplements.

Before the start of the war, some 500 trucks carrying aid and other goods would cross into Gaza daily.

half a million Palestinians are at the edge of starvation due to Israeli blockade
