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

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.

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/… 🧵 /1

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.

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.

This 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

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.

It’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.

- 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.
