Tell Your Members of Congress: Stop Starving Gaza!
Since March 2nd, Israel has sealed all crossings into Gaza and prevented the entry of all humanitarian aid, medicine, food, water, and fuel. Despite thousands of trucks parked at the Gaza border, food in markets and aid distribution centers has run out while Palestinians in Gaza, more than half of whom are children, are literally being starved in a human-engineered famine.
Meanwhile, the new US-Israeli “aid plan” has only allowed an absurdly insufficient amount of aid to enter. In addition, the aid has been administered in a dangerous and dehumanizing manner. In the words of Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, the plan “is designed to forcibly displace and concentrate Palestinians into southern Gaza all under the close screening and surveillance of mercenaries or Israeli armed forces”.
