New: Gaza Catastrophy Grows

The situation in Gaza is reaching catastrophic levels as Israel continues its relentless assault on the territory. Reports indicate that at least 68 Palestinians were killed and 77 wounded in the last 24 hours alone, bringing the official death toll to over 40,600. However, many believe the true numbers are significantly higher due to the chaos on the ground. The World Food Programme has been forced to suspend all staff movements after Israeli forces targeted one of its clearly marked vehicles, despite the vehicle receiving multiple clearances from Israeli authorities. This incident underscores the rapidly shrinking humanitarian space in Gaza and the growing risks faced by those attempting to provide aid. 

The humanitarian situation has further deteriorated as new Israeli evacuation orders have disrupted U.N. operations. These orders have displaced a quarter of a million people in Deir al-Balah, forcing families and medical patients out of shelters like the Al-Aqsa Hospital. Such forced displacements have left many without access to essential services, including water, sanitation, and medical care. Conditions are becoming increasingly dire, with reports of rapidly spreading diseases such as polio and hepatitis A due to the lack of hygiene and access to clean water. O The ongoing military operations are causing continuous devastation, targeting residential areas and infrastructure. The international community must not remain silent. Urgent action is needed to stop this humanitarian disaster, ensure the safety of civilians, and provide immediate relief to the people of Gaza. 

Silence is a gift to Israel’s ongoing genocide. I implore concerned citizens to call The White House comment line at 202-456-1111 and demand an immediate end to WMD shipment to Israel’s killing machines.
