Famine in Gaza has spread from the north to the entire strip.
Every Palestinian in Gaza is now facing famine because of Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign. How do I know this? The recent deaths of more Palestinian children tells us everything 1/3

- How was Isr. able to starve 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza at unprecedented speed and intensity? I answer this question in my new report. I'll be discussing my report with the @UN General Assembly on Friday, October 18. undocs.org/a/79/171 Here's a 🧵...
- My remarks a few weeks ago to the @UN_HRC on Gaza. The international community has done nothing to prevent Israel's campaign on genocide and starvation. The world's governments are complicit. It is time to sanction Israel to ensure an immediate ceasefire.
00:00 - Words can't capture aspects of the horror of Palestinian life during the current starvation campaign by Isr. Nor do words alone adequately provide a vision for a better future for Palestinians & the world. ➡️Illustrations from my newest report: ohchr.org/sites/default/… 🧵 /1How was Isr. able to starve 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza at unprecedented speed and intensity?

- UN Human Rights experts declare famine across all of Gaza.The recent deaths of more #Palestinian children due to hunger & malnutrition leaves no doubt that famine has spread across the entire #Gaza strip - UN experts warn. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- Israel is intentionally starving the Palestinian people in Gaza. This is a political act that requires a political response. Ceasefire now.A UN expert says the US is complicit in the ‘political act’ to starve Gaza, after a new report predicted famine is imminent in the north.
00:00 - The day after @ICJ concluded that Israel is plausibly committing Genocide in Gaza, some states decided to defund UNRWA for the alleged actions of a small number of employees. This collectively punishes +2.2 million Palestinians. Famine was imminent. Famine is now inevitable..@UNRWA lifesaving programmes are in serious jeopardy following countries decisions to halt their funding to the agency, Commissioner General @UNLazzarini said on Saturday, urging them to reverse their decisions news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
- Replying to @MichaelFakhriThis didn’t start in October. Isr. started restricting goods into Gaza in 1991. Imposed full blockade in 2000. Military siege in 2005. The Isr. Ministry of Health measured incoming calories to ensure that people Gaza stayed hungry enough not to trigger a humanitarian crisis /2
- One year ago today, Israel announced the fact that it was going to starve Palestinians in Gaza with genocidal intent.Today marks a year on the formal start of Israel's genocide: Oct 9, 2023, Israel’s Education Minister declared “Those are animals, they have no right to exist. I am not debating the way it will happen, but they need to be exterminated”. And Defence Minister Yoav Gallant asserted
00:00 - We call for the the @GazaFFlotilla to be allowed safe passage to Gaza. The Isr. blockade and occupation is wrong and illegal. Moreover, countries should not hold up the Freedom Flotilla and support in any way that they can.#Israel/#Gaza: UN experts demand safe passage for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, whose ships departing #Türkiye will be carrying 5500 tonnes of humanitarian aid & hundreds of international humanitarian observers to the besieged Gaza Strip. ohchr.org/en/statements/…
- Replying to @MichaelFakhriIt’s not just Gaza. And it’s not just restricting goods + humanitarian aid. Isr. has been destroying the Palestinian food system for 70+ years. Destroying orchards & farms. Harassing/ killing peasants, fishers & shepherds. Here's what's @ stake: ohchr.org/sites/default/… /3
- Along with the other UN human rights experts, I call for all arms companies and their financiers to cease all arms exports to Israel now. They are complicit in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.US, Germany, UK & arms manufacturers incl Boeing, Caterpillar, Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce Power & RTX must end weapon transfers to Israel: UN experts "By continuing arms transfers to Israel, States & companies risk complicity in violations of int'l law" ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- - The ICC warrants won't end starvation and genocide in Gaza. - The ICJ & Sec. Council aren't providing clear enough language to end starvation and genocide in Gaza - The US pier isn't enough to end starvation and genocide in Gaza. So let me spell this out: CEASE. FIRE. NOW.
- Israel has been intentionally starving the Palestinian people in Gaza since October 8. Now famine may very well be already occurring. The only way to end/prevent this famine is an immediate ceasefire. And the only way to get a ceasefire is to sanction Israel.Gaza: Worst famine fears realised as 10th child reportedly ‘starves to death’ @WHO @UNOCHA news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
