🇵🇸 Oxfam’s Global Humanitarian Policy Lead Bushra Khalidi told the UN Security Council that Israel has deliberately dismantled the humanitarian systems needed for Gaza’s recovery, blocked organizations including UNRWA and Oxfam, destroyed civilian infrastructure, and left Palestinians “denied even the basic conditions to survive.”

Khalidi said the ceasefire is failing as Israeli forces continue killing Palestinians and confining Gaza’s population to ever-shrinking areas of the Strip.

She said aid deliveries and truck counts are being used to create the appearance of progress while hospitals lack medicine and fuel, water and sewage systems remain in ruins, and families struggle to access food, clean water, shelter, and healthcare. 

Khalidi says that Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe is the result of deliberate political decisions, including ongoing siege, denial of movement, obstruction of aid, destruction of civilian infrastructure, annexation, and dispossession. 

She urged governments to stop enabling these policies through political, economic, trade, and military ties, warning that Palestinians in Gaza are being denied not only self-determination, but even the bare minimum needed to survive.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Services currently available to people in #Gaza fall far short of what is needed, largely due to the destruction of the health system and restrictions imposed by Israel. Now more than ever, Palestinians need more services, not less. Providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza is vital.

From Wikipedia: Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.
