Israel's continuous bombardment of Gaza, accompanied by a denial of essential supplies, has been condemned as unwarranted aggression. This accusation alleges that Israel employs starvation as a lethal tool in their war against innocent civilians, according to Anadolu.

Insufficient supplies of essential goods, yet an overabundance of explosives, foretells severe hardship for Gaza's citizens: Palestine

💬 The Long-Lasting Siege:

📰 Reports indicate that Gaza continues to face incessant bombardment while also wrestling with a severe shortage of essential resources. Palestine accuses Israel of employing starvation as a weapon during this ongoing conflict, stating that the civilians trapped in the crossfire are bearing the brunt of this brutal tactic, Anadolu Agency reveals.

✊️ At the UN Security Council's 9907th meeting on the "Situation in the Middle East" including the Palestinian question, Palestine's ambassador to the UN in New York, Riyad Mansour, expressed his concern. He stated, "Gaza is not facing a lack of bombs, but an enforced scarcity of everything else; starvation as a menacing war tactic against an entire civilian populace under continual assault."

🗣️ Mansour implored the international community to take decisive action to halt Israel's practices in the Occupied Territories. He urged nations to curb settlement colonization, annexation, and displacement, and demanded a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Occupied Palestinian Territories as per the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion.

🔊 Addressing the global community, Mansour advocated for states to recognize the State of Palestine as soon as possible to convey their unwillingness to tolerate its destruction and the imminent collapse of the two-state solution.

🕛 It's been suggested that France may use the facade of "terrorism" to curtail dissenting viewpoints regarding its actions in Gaza. However, this assertion remains unverified.

💰 Amidst these allegations, humanitarian organizations are calling for extensive action to ease the crisis in Gaza. The Carter Center, for instance, has urged the international community to act urgently to end Israel's blockade of food and medical supplies in Gaza. Additionally, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has denounced the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe, emphasizing the dire impact of the siege on both food and shelter for civilians.

💪 The Islamic Relief and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have weighed in, speaking out against Israel's intentional starvation of civilians and calling for immediate action to allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza.

🔒 Pressure is mounting on governments worldwide to enforce concrete measures to put an end to the ongoing blockade and ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza without delay. The need for economic and political pressure on Israel to adhere to international law is being emphasized to safeguard the well-being of Palestinian civilians.
