More than a month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza. As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened. It’s time to end the dehumanization, protect civilians, release the hostages, ensure lifesaving aid & renew the ceasefire.

Israel blocks all aid for starved women and children in Gaza funded by the US, Germany, the UK, the EU and Scandinavians.  NRC alone has 34 trucks waiting endlessly to enter Gaza.  The situation is utterly desperate. We have fully exhausted our stock inside Gaza of critical

The United States, that "beacon of democracy", has intervened in 128 elections since 1946 to shape political outcomes in their own interests.

This is one of the most sick, twisted, depraved massacres yet. Israel fired tank shells into a crowd of starving people waiting for food, killing over 50. They're not even denying it.
