CNA Explains: Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip

The Gaza Strip has been under Israeli occupation for more than five decades. Bordered by walls and fences, and under constant Israeli military surveillance, the area has been dubbed an "open air prison" by humanitarian agencies. Gaza is reliant on Israel and international aid for basic daily needs. With the latest conflict, there are increasing concerns about the worsening humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave. CNA's Syahida Othman explains.

*UN🇺🇳 must end Israel occupation in West Bank & Golan. UK🇬🇧 responsible in Palestine conflict. Balfour declaration issued by UK (1917), which announced for establishment "national home for jewish people" in Palestine. at that time, Palestine was teritory Ottoman Empire & jews in palestine were still minority.*

How long will it take until those Western planes arrive in Ukraine promised in September at the latest? And how long does pilot training last? They're just not those UFOs, they still have a handle, clutch, etc. :)), just a little more sophisticated! These had to be given since the beginning of the invasion, as well as the long-range weapons, not only up to 80 km, and the Russians were shooting wildly from hundreds of km from the Black Sea, more into civilian homes! The faces did not want to escalate, but they did this every day! What I didn't understand... why after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 like that, without a single shot, why didn't Ukraine arm itself to the teeth, with their immense wealth? They had plenty of time until 2022 to do everything they could to not join those Westerners who give them weapons anyway always late and always weaker than the Russians. Later, those Himars systems came after they had already destroyed many cities in Ukraine! By the way, what is the ratio of destruction in Ukraine compared to Russia? I don't think it's even 1 to 10! Well, why are there no destructions on the territory of the Russians, I repeat, at least 10% compared to Ukraine?? There are still some dubious things like that, I don't understand what kind of war this is, you are allowed to shoot from hundreds of km and I am not, only a maximum of 80 km! Why don't the Ukrainians rumble the Russians like Israel is doing now in Gaza for much less (well, as facts are facts, just as odious, I was referring to the difference between the number of victims) Why didn't they also give the Ukrainians at the beginning the famous Iron Dum defense systems?? Not to upset the Russians? No, now they have also seen what it means to be bombed... That's why the bear has no tail!

Israel: "There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza"

[happymelon]

In the month since Hamas's attack on Israel, the streets of Europe have seen weekly demonstrations.
The largest by far have been those supporting the Palestinians and criticising Israel's military response in Gaza.
But despite the mounting death toll, most European governments continue to vigorously defend Israel's right to defend itself - despite many also calling for a humanitarian pause in the fighting.
U$A EU UK had lost all credibility and moral ground, by $upportxng this drama.

Collective punishment is never acceptable.
Collective punishment is a war crime under the Geneva Convention for a reason.
U$A sanction also a Collective punishment.
