With Israel’s expanding war and plan to take over aid, my colleagues and friends in Gaza fear a “death blow”
People in Gaza fear being permanently corralled into an even smaller pen of misery where they have to beg their occupiers for a loaf of bread.

The killing of the medics in Gaza by Israel was not an aberration. Read @newhumanitarian.bsky.social article by James Smith www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2025...

Israel’s massacre of Gaza paramedics was not an aberration
The killing of 15 emergency workers in March was part of a pattern of systematic violence and impunity that James Smith witnessed first-hand.

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

With all the caveats about the UN weaknesses and biases, no other humanitarian actor I know of has talked about the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza with the moral and factual clarity of this statement. Still not enough but a step further than all others.

I almost never get off a webcast and say, 'Damn, that was good.' But this was that. My key takeaway: No one cares about soft power, being good anymore. So the hard power orientation forces us to take sides-don't throw out the rules-based order but apply them equally, not following colonial patterns.
