‘Nobody does a thing’ as Israel starves 2 million people in Gaza: Oxfam

Bushra Khalidi, policy lead in the occupied Palestinian territory at UK charity Oxfam, has denounced governments around the world for failing to stop Israel’s starvation policy in war-battered Gaza.

She condemned the takeover of aid distribution by the Israel-US military contractor group GHF from UN-led agencies, which has “turned food into a deadly trap” in the Strip.

“This is not a humanitarian failure, this is a deliberate policy. There are massacres every single day and they don’t address any needs that Palestinians in Gaza need right now,” Khalidi told Al Jazeera.
The international community needs to act immediately to halt Israel’s war and ramp up the entry of vast amounts of humanitarian relief, she said.

“A civilian population of two million people are dying slowly before the world’s eyes and nobody does a thing … States and governments – stop waiting. There’s no time left. If you are a government that claims to follow human rights, you need to act now. We are begging you.”
