“In the beginning, people could go to the market or to the stores. Now, no more. Stores have empty shelves. People are struggling to get food, but there are already people starving in Gaza,” warns Nebal Farsakh, spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent, speaking over the phone.
At a press conference in Jerusalem, the commissioner general of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, insisted that “many” Palestinians will die “soon,” not because of the bombings, but because of the consequences of the complete blockade imposed by Israel. His colleagues in Gaza, 57 of whom have lost their lives in the three weeks of air strikes, have begun to report to him the first cases of starvation inside the Strip, he added.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip stands at 7,326, of whom 3,038 are children, according to data from the Gaza Health Ministry.
Nah, don’t try to “both sides” this; they’re actively pushing this into a genocide as we speak, and most of the world is sitting back and watching in horror while people like you try to minimize it.
“Sitting at home, looking on in horror and unable to do anything, you’re just as bad as the people literally murdering thousands.”
Fuck the Israeli government, and all who support them.
