An 8th baby has died from the cold in Gaza, while Israeli forces fire at UN convoys and bomb a food distribution. This is horrendous and the impunity is shocking. Creating conditions in which people cannot survive is an act of #genocide. #PasstheOTBill aje.io/fv9dww

For the sake of all of the people of Gaza, it is a tremendous relief that this ceasefire has been signed. Immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access is imperative. But so is justice: accountability for war crimes perpetrated during this conflict and an end to occupation.
