Israel seals off Gaza – while it murders in Iran, it starves Palestinian civilians

[Israel]

Israel has [shut down][1] all crossings into and out of Gaza, even for humanitarian workers.

The occupation’s administrative body COGAT claimed the move was a “necessary security adjustment” because of Israel’s attacks on Iran. The [blockade][2] will prevent volunteer medics and other humanitarian workers either entering or leaving Gaza while it remains in place. Food and medicine deliveries, already barely a trickle, will be choked off – condemning thousands more Palestinians in Gaza to misery, suffering and death.

The [unprovoked Israel-US attacks on Iran][3] are a war crime. The intensified starvation of the people of Gaza is a crime against humanity and a continuation of genocide. While Israel murders in Iran and puts the world in danger, it continues to use disease and famine, as well as bullets, to murder in Gaza.
