Israel seals off Gaza – while it murders in Iran, it starves Palestinian civilians

Israel has shut down all crossings into and out of Gaza, even for humanitarian workers.

The occupation’s administrative body COGAT claimed the move was a “necessary security adjustment” because of Israel’s attacks on Iran. The blockade will prevent volunteer medics and other humanitarian workers either entering or leaving Gaza while it remains in place. Food and medicine deliveries, already barely a trickle, will be choked off – condemning thousands more Palestinians in Gaza to misery, suffering and death.

The unprovoked Israel-US attacks on Iran are a war crime. The intensified starvation of the people of Gaza is a crime against humanity and a continuation of genocide. While Israel murders in Iran and puts the world in danger, it continues to use disease and famine, as well as bullets, to murder in Gaza.
