Israel has shattered the ceasefire


During the  sacred month  of Ramadam in a grave escalation of their genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians,  and  after countless violations, Israel has completely shattered the ceasefire in Gaza. In its most brazen breach of the agreement, Israel launched airstrikes into Gaza early Tuesday morning, killing over 413 people mostly civilians, including women and children. Targets of the attack included homes and tent camps across the Strip. More than 550 have been hospitalised while more bodies remain trapped beneath the rubble.  
Israel has been consistently undermining the so-called “ceasefire” by both indirectly and directly killing Gazans throughout this period. On March 2, Israel sealed Gaza’s borders, blocking food, medical supplies, and essential goods from entering, and the Israeli occupation forces never stopped opening fire and killing Palestinians in Gaza. In reality, the genocide never ended. 
The bombings have resumed, hitting densely populated areas, makeshift schools, residential buildings, and the temporary shelters of people who’ve lost their homes. Forced displacement orders are pushing families from one place to another with nowhere safe to go. With the siege still in place, food and water are scarce.
For the last two weeks, Israel has completely blockaded Gaza, using starvation as a weapon of war as it continued to kill Palestinians with impunity.Prices have sky rocketed; tomatoes now cost eight times what they did. Medical evacuations remain impossible; thousands of wounded, including 4,500 children, need urgent care outside Gaza. Make no mistake, Israel does not intend to stop bombing civilians including scores of children in Gaza. So I  have to say. Don’t stop talking about Gaza. 
The latest Israeli attacks on a defenceless population in Gaza are barbaric and inhumane. World leaders can no longer turn a blind eye.As children in Gaza continue to be killed by Israel, the least we can do is bear witness to the crimes committed against them. Remember  that Hamas hasn’t fired a rocket at Israel in over 2 months.
The near-total decimation of the healthcare system in Gaza and the desperate shortages in medical equipment and supplies, exacerbated by Israel’s unlawful siege, effectively means a death sentence for many of those with serious injuries and illnesses, and those that in normal conditions would be easily curable.    
The resumption of Israel’s attacks also puts the lives of 24 remaining Israeli hostages at risk who are believed to be alive. This is also a cruel blow for hostages and Palestinian detainees as well as for their families. 
The international community must unite against these acts of genocide and hold Israel accountable for its flagrant breaches of international law. Israel is a terrorist State. 20,000 Palestinian families have lost at least one child in Gaza. Children in Gaza are being killed while sleeping. What an evil state can possibly mass kill children, in a  clear  crime  against  humanity.Nothing can justify the loss of life of a child. Nothing. Not self defense. Not human shields. Not a damn thing. How has bloody Keir Starmer 'reacted' by continuing to send Israel the weapons to kill them. Absolutely shameful. 
Israel has committed war crime after war crime, emboldened by Western governments' refusal to act. All governments must respond to this despicable assault on civilians with immediate sanctions,stop arming Israel and force this  monstrous country to end its war crimes.
Israel's  bloodthirsty aggression proves peace was never the goal, only genocide and domination. Shame on a nation that bombs fasting children while the world watches in silence. Israel has systematically starved, forcibly displaced and deliberately deprived Palestinians in Gaza of everything they need to survive , water, food, medical help and shelter. This act of collective punishment is against international law, as is the indiscriminate killing of civilians.
The international community’s seismic, shameful failure for over a year to press Israel to end its atrocities in Gaza, by first delaying calls for a ceasefire and then continuing arms transfers, is and will remain a stain on our collective conscience." Dr Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International Secretary General.  
Justice for Palestine starts with action! The international community needs to do more than just make noise right now.How are we meant to carry on as “normal” when a genocide is happening in front of our eyes? 
Get on  the streets and demand an end to  Israel’s war crimes! We  need to push for a permanent ceasefire, to allow humanitarian aid for people facing intolerable suffering. The siege of Gaza must be stopped, and water, food and fuel allowed in.
