Israel forces aid organizations to purchase food from Egypt and prevents them from buying it in Israel, which would allow for a more efficient and rapid transfer of goods. Israel also prohibits the private sector in Gaza from purchasing food, which could significantly increase supply. Although Israel recently allowed trucks in through Kerem Shalom Crossing, too, which is designed for commercial transports, this was merely a token addition that has failed to alleviate the hardship.
Aid organizations are struggling to operate under current conditions, and most of the limited aid allowed in remains in Rafah instead of reaching residents throughout the Strip. Martin Griffiths, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, listed several reasons why aid cannot be efficiently distributed. Among other things, he noted that trucks are inspected several times before Israel allows them into Gaza, and even then, long lines form due to the conditions at Rafah Crossing. The little food that does get in is very difficult to distribute due to the constant bombings, destroyed roads, frequent communication blackouts, and shelters overflowing with of hundreds of thousands of IDPs crowding into smaller and smaller areas.
Israel can, if it so chooses, change this reality. The images of children begging for food, people waiting in long lines for paltry handouts and hungry residents charging at aid trucks are already inconceivable. The horror is growing by the minute, and the danger of famine is real. Still, Israel persists in its policy.
Changing this policy is not just a moral obligation. Allowing food into the Gaza Strip is not an act of kindness but a positive obligation under international humanitarian law: starvation as a method of warfare is prohibited
Israel is a terrorist state actively committing genocide and trying to out perform WW1 Canadians on the amount of war crimes.
Fixed that for you.
Just want to point out that when Israel was first created, all their arab neighbors invaded them with the express purpose of wiping them out of existence.
that's because they kept launching suicide bombings when walls were not there
false , israeli constitution treats them equally, unlike sharia
surely that will improve their situation
there are no prisoners in genocide
stop consuming islamist propaganda
You're fucking dumb.
And you've proven yourself to a bigot with your first point. You just put all Palestinians under one banner and insinuated that the entire group was bombing Israel. Complete lie. Nonetheless, rounding up an entire group of people and punishing them for the actions of a group within them is a literal war crime. It's called Collective Punishment. You are wrong.
Right. That's why they're forced into an open air prison, denied food, bombed repeatedly, denied rights and having their land taken away from them. Because they have to be treated equally. You are wrong.
Irrelevant. They have literally no recourse as everything else, including their basic freedom, has been taken away from them. You don't get to oppress people for decades and then be upset when they strike back at you for treating them like lesser humans. Sorry. You're wrong.
Definition: (noun) the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
Note that the definition does not say kill everyone in that group of people or preclude prisoners. You are wrong.

"Israeli forces 'kill pregnant women in Gaza, run over bodies with bulldozers" Source
"UN calls for probe as Israeli army accused of killing 11 unarmed Palestinians" Source
And in continuing with tradition, you are wrong.
Stop being an Israeli propagandist who is openly supporting the execution of children, hostages and unarmed civilians.
You are not valid enough as a human being for me to continue talking to you. You wanna deny someone else being a human? Get treated the same way.
I'd say goodbye but that is far more respect than you deserve.
Jesus Christ, dude.
Last I checked, Hamas wasn't made up of newborns.
Fuck.
So your user name Live Let Live is just for ironic effect?
You think because HAMAS committed a fucking warcrime that's it's acceptable that Israel is allowed to commit genocide of an entire population of people? You are disgusting.
The Gazan people didn't start this. HAMAS is murdering them too.
But you wouldn't know that, because your too busy being an ignorant pissant that posts about shit that they know nothing about. Going be a worthless sack of shit elsewhere. People and children are dying and assholes like you are only making it worse by fucking posting a bullshit narrative that isn't factually accurate.
70% of them support hamas
they voted them in and hamas is the reason why west bank won't hold elections.
they bought this upon themselves
Half the population is literally CHILDREN.
You might also want to consider why, in the first place, any of them would support Hamas? Israel started this, it's always been an attempted genocide.
You tell ‘em!
All those dead children and babies completely supported Hamas.
Doctors Without Borders reports that well over a hundred children in Gaza are dying every day. Israel kills more children every week than total civilians died on 10/7.
Hamas' attack was heinous, but it is not even close to being a justification for killing one in every hundred Gazans and counting. The actions of a terrorist group do not absolve Israel of responsibility in its mass slaughter of children, for which you are a despicable apologist.
for which hamas is soley responsible for

They could choose between the israeli backed puppet Fatah and Hamas
Fatah won in the west bank. And now the west bank is overran by israeli Nazi's stealing everyone's house, murdering children and burning olive trees.
Hamas was a protest vote against Fatah more so than an actual vote of confidence.
Of course support for Hamas is now growing because they are the only organisation fighting against genocidal Nazi israel.
Even before israel started it's current genocide many warnings were given that they should take care not to kill innocent civilians or it would only strengthen resistance groups. Of course they did not listen and the IDF is indiscriminately massacring women and children

first genocide i have seen where population is growing, and palestinians are allowed to live in israel with equal rights
Last time I checked Palestinians were banned from walking on certain roads on israel and taking public transport. Did they fix this while I blinked?
that's disinfo, it's restricted not inaccessible roads
They need to pass through a checkpoint to drive on them, but once they pass - they're allowed. If you spend long enough, you'll find cars with Palestinian license plates in places like Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Not to mention that many areas inside the West Bank as well marked by this map as "segregated" are in reality used by Israelis and Palestinians alike with their respective plates and they are often driving on the exact same roads.
Evidence
Evidence
A correct tag would be saying they're restricted. Not inaccessible.
Also, while not blocked entirely for Israeli cars, there are signs strongly discouraging Israelis from visiting zones categorized as area A under the 1993 Oslo accords. Evidence
Oh shit a license plate of a car parked somewhere. My bad everything falls apart now.
Would you care to address this video rebuking your claim and tell me what is not factual?
