Gaza: “We are hungry and nobody moves”, Gaza: “We die of hunger and nobody moves”, accuses Oxfam Palestine

ByMuhammad

In an overwhelming testimony on TV5monde, Bouchra Khalidi, director of the advocacy of Oxfam Palestine, described an “unbearable” situation in the Gaza Strip, denouncing the total abandonment of civilians by the international community. “My colleagues are out. Too hungry to talk, too exhausted to alert, “she said, her voice trembling. She brings in extreme distress scenes: a father whose child died for lack of milk, humanitarian workers who work without eating or drinking. “We are hungry and no one moves,” she sums up. According to the UN, at least 900 Palestinians were killed while trying to obtain food, including 201 on the roads of aid.

Two months after the implementation by Israel of the distribution system via the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, Oxfam calls for the immediate opening of all crossing points and a ceasefire. “It is a provoked famine, a deliberate siege policy,” denounces Khalidi, pointing to direct responsibility for the Israeli government. She describes a knowingly hampered humanitarian aid: “28 trucks in a few weeks, while tons of food just wait on the other side. Distributions turn to carnage. It is not a logistical crisis, it is a crime. »»

While Gaza collapses in silence, which reveals the testimony of Oxfam Palestine goes beyond the simple humanitarian emergency. It is a structured crushing mechanism, where famine is used as an instrument of domination. S likely to refuse access to water, food, care, is an assumed political choice, covered by an chilling international impunity. What Gaza civilians are going through is not a coordination failure is a destruction strategy. And those who are silent are the accomplices.
