21. No, I don't think you understand.

If you did, or wanted to, you wouldn't be asking that question.

In war, the facilitation of aid is the responsibility of the occupying power. International law. It starts with allowing in the aid necessary, then followed by providing SAFE humanitarian corridors - complete with military guards if necessary- to get the aid to distribution centres and then to the people. It means full cooperation with aid agencies.

Instead, Israel is barring 90% of aid-delivery , bombing distribution centres and the roads leading to them, bombing bakeries, has banned UNRWA, the most critical aid agency, refusing to provide IDF-supported security for the trucks, instead allowing criminals to loot them, attacking policemen trying to stop the criminals, and on and on.

The goal here is not just the suffering, but the "cleansing" of north Gaza of Palestinians so that it can be settled with Israeli settlers and annexed (stolen). It's a choice between LEAVE or STARVE.

If you do not see this is all deliberate, systematic, not to mention just plain evil, you don't understand at all.
