Just an agonising few kilometres away from the starving, thousands of tons of food aid lies wasting in the sun as the Israeli blockade continues. Gaza is now being systematically starved. The war crime of the 21st century. REST OF THE WORLD UPDATE: Still watching. (🎥 BBC)

From the New York Times:

UNRWA has enough food near the border to feed all of Gaza for 3 months, with equipment & personnel to do this safely. US/Israel are now providing only a fraction of what's needed, at only 4 sites, where they have killed 1300 (and wounded many more) people seeking food. www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea...
