"Euro-Med Monitor’s field team in the Gaza Strip has observed alarming indicators pointing to a severe food crisis that may soon reach the level of famine."
"The ongoing Israeli blockade has caused a severe and persistent shortage of essential food items necessary for survival, including grains, proteins, and fats. Much of the enclave’s remaining agricultural and food infrastructure has either been bombed or otherwise destroyed, and/or is currently under Israeli military control."
"As a result, Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to sell their most basic belongings just to secure food, signalling the onset of a breakdown in their ability to endure the hunger."
"Families in the Gaza Strip have been forced to cut the number of their daily meals, resulting in noticeable weight loss among residents. In the near-total absence of fresh and nutritious food, most people now rely almost entirely on the enclave's limited supply of canned goods, while many others have become fully dependent on food banks for their daily meals."
"However, these food banks have come under intensified Israeli military attacks in recent weeks, further depriving residents of access to even the most basic food necessities. Israeli forces have deliberately targeted over 37 aid distribution centres and 28 food banks, as part of a systematic policy to starve civilians and exacerbate their suffering."
"To those outside of the Gaza Strip, this policy should be evident in the scores of published images of Palestinians forced to stand in long lines near these facilities, desperate to obtain a modest meal of rice or soup. Such scenes are unprecedented in the Strip and reflect the horrific humanitarian collapse caused by the Israeli blockade and deliberate targeting of basic survival resources."
"Following the closure of all bakeries operating in the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Monitor’s field team—enduring the same severe humanitarian conditions as the general population—carried out field visits and documented an almost complete absence of bread in the enclave’s markets."
"Additionally, both red and white meats, whether fresh or frozen, are unavailable. The few vegetables that can be found are sold at extremely high prices, far beyond the reach of most residents, particularly after 18 months of disruption to people’s livelihoods and income sources. This deteriorating food security crisis israpidly pushing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip towards imminent famine."
"The starvation imposed by Israel on civilians in the Gaza Strip represents one of the most severe and inhumane forms of genocide, as well as a grave violation of human dignity."
"It extends beyond the mere denial of food, as it also seeks to dismantle the population’s ability to survive by destroying livelihoods, obstructing humanitarian aid, targeting sources of food production, and deliberately disrupting essential supply chains."

"This will not end with a ceasefire. It will not end with a “2-state solution” creating Bantustans on the West Bank. The Israeli regime must be isolated, defeated, disarmed, and dismantled."
"The regime’s perpetrators - wherever they are and no matter how much time has passed- must be held accountable under the rule of law. Western institutions must be purged of Zionist capture and corruption. "
"The Palestinian people must return home & be compensated. And a free Palestine must be restored from the Jordan to the Mediterranean with equal human rights for Muslims, Christians, & Jews."

"Violent Israeli settlers must be removed from the West Bank now. They assault Palestinians day & night, and Israeli activists with them. They may belong to jail or mental health care centers, not occupied land. Diplomats and UN agencies in Palestine, please intervene. As per International Court of Justice, Israel is an unlawful occupier and cannot bar your presence."

"Our social media feeds are full of Palestinian death and dehumanization by the Israeli military: children left as the sole caregivers of their siblings after their parents are killed, Palestinian prisoners stripped naked and handcuffed, amputations and c-sections with no anesthesia, survivors of the Nakba traumatized again and again, adults and children lined up and numbered, the bodies of Palestinians discarded after execution by Israeli soldiers."
"For many American Jews who grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, the parallels we see with our ancestors’ own subjugation and dehumanization are undeniable. For many of us, we are yet again compelled to answer the urgent warning of “never again."
"The experiences of our ancestors’ persecution and mass death under fascism now serve as the foundation for how we define modern genocides. The genocide we are witnessing in Palestine by the Israeli military is yet another outgrowth from the same fascist mechanisms that extinguished the lives of over 6 million Jews during the Nazi Holocaust."
"Journalist Masha Gessen’s comparison of Palestinians in Gaza to ghettoized Jews in Nazi Germany holds power not only due to its accuracy, but because any discussion of Jews during the Holocaust inevitably invokes their harrowing fates."
"The Warsaw Ghetto uprising is the most well known act of Jewish resistance to the Nazi regime’s fascism. The refusal of Warsaw Jews to accept the violent fate the Nazis prescribed to them, and instead fight back, reminds us all of our duty to resist oppression wherever it is."
"We hold these ancestors close and affirm our commitment to ensuring their values of solidarity, collective liberation, and anti-imperialism are carried on into the future as we fight for justice in Palestine and stand against rising fascism here in the US. Never again for anyone."

"1.5 years of war in Gaza. At least 51,000 Palestinians reportedly killed. 1.9 million people forcibly displaced, multiple times. Nearly 7 weeks of siege blocking entry of aid. We call for a renewal of the Ceasefire Now, a dignified release of all the hostages, and an unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies."

"In Gaza, Israel is burning Palestinian civilians alive, practicing the methods of the worst regimes in history. We can see the determination of Israeli war criminals to assassinate Palestinian journalists. They want to prevent the world from seeing. They want to prevent their genocide from being documented. Israel must be ostracized by the nations."

London answered the calls of Gaza for a global day of action against genocide, protesting outside the US embassy.
"How much longer until hollow words of condemnation will translate into action to lift the siege, resume a ceasefire & save whatever is left of humanity?"
"It’s been 5️⃣0️⃣ days of siege on Gaza imposed by the Israeli authorities. Hunger is spreading & deepening, deliberate & manmade. Gaza has become a land of desperation."
"Two million people: a majority of women & children are undergoing collective punishment. The wounded, sick & elderly are deprived of medical supplies & care."
"Meanwhile, humanitarian organisations have assistance ready to get into Gaza. This includes nearly 3,000 UNRWA trucks of lifesaving aid. Basic supplies meant for people in need are expiring. Humanitarian aid is being used as a bargaining chip + a weapon of war."
"The siege must be lifted, supplies must flow in, the hostages must be released, the ceasefire must resume."

"Palestinians in Gaza continue to en starved before our eyes. We need urgent action. Palestinian hostages are being tortured in Israeli jails, even tortured to death!This depraved state must not be allowed to operate normally. Sanctions now! No one of conscience can stand by this clear act of genocide - stand up and be counted in all spaces."
