How much longer until hollow words of condemnation will translate into action to lift the siege, resume a ceasefire and save whatever is left of humanity?
It’s been 50 days of siege on Gaza imposed by the Israeli authorities.
Hunger is spreading and deepening, deliberate and manmade.
Gaza has become a land of desperation.
Two million people: a majority of women and children are undergoing collective punishment.
The wounded, sick and elderly are deprived of medical supplies and care.
Meanwhile, humanitarian organisarions have assistance ready to get into Gaza. This includes nearly 3,000 UNRWA trucks of lifesaving aid.
Basic supplies meant for people in need are expiring.
Humanitarian aid is being used as a bargaining chip and a weapon of war.
The siege must be lifted, supplies must flow in, the hostages must be released, the ceasefire must resume.
