On Sunday, the #UN agency for Palestinian refugees ( #UNRWA) warned that the humanitarian situation across the #Gaza Strip is beyond imagination, calling on the international community to take serious action to stop this #catastrophe from reaching unseen levels. #Starvation #Genocide #Israel

I completely understand you! Yet, don´t dismiss the good intentions of other, even if misguided, not all of us can be that well informed nor have the time or can allow that level of mental preparation for it. Unfortunately it is true, Israel has calculated to the last calorie how to made the entire population starve but enough not to die in droves… the plan here is to create civil unrest and that they start killing themselves and finally leave.
Since Palestine is not independent, even before the current genocidal policy, Israel was and is solely responsible to maintain the entire population. “The invader must ensure adequate provisions, even if the population is under siege. Requisitioning civilian resources (e.g., food, fuel) is prohibited if it deprives the population of necessities” (GCIV Art. 55) and always permit Humanitarian access (GCIV Art. 59, 143). All good intentions of, mostly Europe, UN and some NGOs, of paying for the food medicines and infrastructure during all these decades to Palestinians made Israel realize there is no civil cost of maintaining the invasion, see it as aid to subsidize Israel! Horrorized and well intended citizens donating to NGOs for Palestine are great in the short term but enabling Israel to continue at the same time too. But, in the current situation, not even in the short term we are helping since it will be all getting rotted at the border.
