More than 100 NGOs warn Israel's forced 'mass starvation' stalks all Gaza

Source: Aljazeera

More than 100 aid and human rights groups have called on governments to take urgent action as Israel’s forced “mass starvation” of Palestinians engulfs Gaza, including by demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire and the lifting of all restrictions on humanitarian aid.

In a statement signed and released on Wednesday by 109 organisations, including Mercy Corps, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Doctors Without Borders (also known as MSF), the groups warned that deepening starvation of the population was spreading across the besieged enclave.

Tonnes of food, clean water, medical supplies and other items sit untouched just outside Gaza as humanitarian organisations are blocked from accessing or delivering them by Israel.

“As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes,” the organisations said.

Just another despicable way to ethnically cleanse Gaza, starve them out.

IMO, there is no justifiable reason for forced mass starvation. How can the US stand by and participate in this evil?

I don't think any other country would get away with this horror show. Americans have mostly tuned it out now, and pro-Palestinian protestors are arrested or deported.
