Evidence gathered by Amnesty International demonstrates how over a month since the introduction of its militarized aid distribution system, Israel has continued to use starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip and to deliberately impose conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as part of its ongoing genocide.

Heartbreaking testimonies gathered from medical staff, parents of children hospitalized for malnutrition and displaced Palestinians struggling to survive paint a horrifying picture of acute levels of starvation and desperation in Gaza. Their accounts provide further evidence of the catastrophic suffering caused by Israel’s ongoing restrictions on life-saving aid and its deadly militarized aid scheme coupled with mass forced displacement, relentless bombardment and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.

“While the eyes of the world were diverted to the recent hostilities between Israel and Iran, Israel’s genocide has continued unabated in Gaza, including through the infliction of conditions of life that have created a deadly mix of hunger and disease pushing the population past breaking point,” said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International.

In the month following Israel’s imposition of a militarized “‘aid” scheme run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured either near militarized distribution sites or en route to humanitarian aid convoys.

      uh wrong in fact. A long time ago the founding fathers of israel bought most of the land that is today’s israel from palestinian settlers. When they wanted to unite their patches of land they just kicked out the people who refused to sell their land. Arguably not the nicest method but it’s not like the palestinians never had a chance.

          That scum claimed that most of israel was bought by zionists while they only owner 9% and allude to the idea that palestinians are not indigenous to the land by calling them settlers.

        Liar. They only owned 9% now they control 83% of historic palestine. Owning lands do not give right to declare a state inside it. Especially when most of them was recent imigrants acceptes by the past colonizer.

        Zionists never intended to respect the partition This is what ben gurrion who became later the first prime minister

        after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine

        Israel decided to occupy gaza and west bank in 67. They admit that they started to war

        The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him- Menachem Begin

        Zionists keep talking about judea and sumaria. They was destroyed so they no longer exists. The west bank is palestinian according to international law. Israel should get out of east jerusalem and all of the west bank
