🇵🇸 Israel expands its mass starvation campaign to include more than 65% of the Gaza Strip | EuroMed HR Monitor

Geneva - Israel has expanded its total ban on humanitarian supplies entering large areas of the Gaza Strip as part of its ongoing genocide, waged since 7 October, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Monday in a statement emphasising Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon against civilians.

The Israeli army had planned to largely cut off the Gaza Strip’s central governorate from the Strip’s southern areas during the past 48 hours by imposing restrictions on movement and limiting the supply of humanitarian aid, such as food and drinkable water.

🇵🇸 No food, no water – Gaza
The humanitarian situation is completely devastating.

People tried to go to Rafah, but Rafah was also packed, so a lot of people came to the middle area.

The streets are completely crowded and people are trying to find food and water, even if it is not clean or drinkable water. People are still, to this point, trying to rescue those who were targeted last night from under the rubble.

The health situation is collapsing and people are not able to receive any medical assistance because hospitals are running out of supplies.

There have been no food distribution centres working since the resumption of fighting. Garbage is everywhere in the streets, the smell is suffocating, and you can barely stand it.

Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary is in Deir el-Balah, central #Gaza describes a horrofic situation in which herself is stuggling to find food.

🇵🇸 UNOSAT Gaza Strip Agricultural Damage Assessment - November 2023

The decline in the health and density of the crops can be observed due to the impact of activities such as razing, heavy vehicle tracking, bombing, shelling, and other conflict-related dynamics. The analysis takes into account the damage that affects both active crop fields, fallow lands, and a multitude of household gardens. UNOSAT analysis shows that the agricultural extent in the Gaza Strip is estimated to be 185 sq. km, accounting for approximately 50% of the total area of Gaza. Compared to the average of the previous 6 years, approximately 15% of the arable land in the Gaza Strip has exhibited a significant decline in health and density in November 2023..

🇵🇸 Seventy-one per cent of Gaza’s population experiences extreme hunger, Euro-Med Monitor study says | EuroMed HR Monitor

Geneva - Over 71% of participants in a study conducted in the Gaza Strip by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said that they suffer from extreme hunger, corroborating accusations that Israel uses starvation to punish Palestinian civilians.

Euro-Med Monitor conducted an analytical study that included a sample of 1,200 people in the Gaza Strip in order to ascertain the impact of the humanitarian crisis that Gazans are experiencing in the midst of Israel’s ongoing Israeli genocidal war, which began on 7 October.

🇵🇸 Homeless in my homeland | The Electronic Intifada –

I have now brought Majd to my grandmother’s home in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city. This is the seventh place where we have taken shelter since 7 October.

There are 12 families staying in my grandmother’s home. More than 50 people have to share three bathrooms.

Every day my brother and my nephews have to fetch #water and bring it into the house.

We have no electricity or fuel.

🇵🇸 UNICEF says malnutrition and disease threatening more than 1.1m children in Gaza

Israel's war on Gaza has created a humanitarian catastrophe. UN agencies are warning that half of Gaza's 2 point 3 million population is at risk of starvation. Tanya Haj Hassan, a pediatrician with Doctors Without Borders, says the war is killing more than 100 children each day, and that many more will suffer from life-long disabilities and health issues.

🇵🇸 The chief economist of the World Food Program, Arif Husain, warned that Gaza is on the brink of famine, with over 90% of the population facing "high levels of acute food insecurity" and skipping meals daily.

Speaking to The New Yorker, Husain stated that the living conditions in Gaza are dire, with "one shower for every forty-five hundred people, one toilet for every two hundred and twenty people," creating a potential pandemic risk, especially for children who are the most vulnerable.

Husain cautioned that Gaza's dependence on imports for crucial supplies, coupled with restricted food access, has left humanitarian organisations grappling to address escalating needs in the face of an unparalleled crisis. He emphasised the immediate requirement for more food supply, efficient distribution, and a humanitarian ceasefire.

"80% of the people worldwide in famine or a catastrophic type of hunger are in Gaza right now. This is also what makes it unprecedented."

🇵🇸 Gaza Is Starving | The New Yorker –

Last month, a United Nations report on hunger described a catastrophic situation in Gaza, where more than ninety per cent of the population has been facing “acute food insecurity,” and where “virtually all households are skipping meals every day.” Much of Gaza is at risk of famine in the next several months.

Parents have been going without food to insure that their kids have at least something to eat; where food is available, moreover, prices have skyrocketed, making it inaccessible even for middle-class families. The report noted, “This is the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity” ever recorded.

🇵🇸 Desperation in Gaza: Palestinians face dire humanitarian crisis

Top UN human rights expert has accused Israel of breaking international law with its relentless bombardment of Gaza. Francesca Albanese says Israel's right to self defence doesn't allow it to ignore the rules of proportionality and ensure protection of civilians. Despite those condemnations, Israel's attacks in Gaza continue unabated. More than 24,620 Palestinians have now been killed. Israel is bombing are-as around southern Gaza's largest hospital all that while a communications blackout across the strip continues for a week.
