While we keep warm in our homes and food keeping us alive, spare a thought for the people in Gaza. They need proper, balanced, nutritious meals made with fresh food, not hyper-processed, tinned food. While food staples are accessible in Gaza right now, fresh produce remains too expensive for most families. If you can spare some change … please help them. People in Gaza are living in freezing, flooded tents. Contributions are falling.
Support is so desperately needed for the folks in Gaza living through the absolute worst of conditions. The situation is catastrophic. Happening at a time when Israel shamefully on new years day ordered 37 NGOs to cease aid operations in Gaza and West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The restrictions are totally unacceptable barriers to life-saving relief amid Gaza's ongoing crisis.
Aid deliberately being used as a weapon is truly evil shit. Israel's blocking of foreign aid agencies is aimed very straightforwardly at facilitating genocide. Cutting off food, blocking aid, and punishing an entire population is collective punishment in its most brutal form.
1.6 million people in Gaza face extreme hunger and critical malnutrition risks. Sufficient food is not allowed to enter. UN agencies and NGOs reiterate that humanitarian access is not optional, conditional or political. It's a legal obligation under international humanitarian law, particularly in Gaza where Israel has failed to ensure the population is adequately supplied.
International humanitarian organizations operating in the occupied Palestinian territory warn that Israel’s recent measures threaten to halt operations at a time when civilians face acute and widespread humanitarian need, despite the ceasefire in Gaza.
Remember that most Palestinians are homeless and are freezing! Children and families are surviving on unsafe water and little food as malnutrition spreads. No one should be expected to live under these conditions.
The following links are a good way of helping the people there, though there are ways of giving directly. Their future depends on our continuous support. Amid hardship, your support helps deliver food packs, dignity, and hope to those in need. Donate now. Keep feeding Palestine.Help stop starvation. And make sure there not forgotten -
And If the British Government really cared about Gaza - and the occupied West Bank - then it would stop arming Israel; impose sanctions; back the ICC's arrest warrant for Israeli war criminals, including Benjamin Netanyahu; expel the Israeli Ambassador and close the Israeli embassy.
Could you please write to the Foreign Secretary to demand that the government imposes sanctions on Israel, including a full arms embargo, in response to Israel's ban on 37 aid organisations from operating in the Occupied Palestinian Territory:
