Amnesty International has accused Israel of carrying out a “deliberate campaign of starvation” that is “systematically destroying the health, well-being and social fabric of Palestinian life.” At least 263 Palestinians have now starved to death amid the Israeli blockade.
Meanwhile, Israel is intensifying its attacks on Gaza City as it moves to forcibly evict the city’s entire population. On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike hit Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, killing at least seven people. Hamas has accused Israel of engaging in a “new wave of genocide and displacement” over its plans to relocate all residents of Gaza City.
This is a Palestinian medical student in Gaza City, who sent this voice memo to a colleague in the United States.
Palestinian medical student: “I just want to die right now. I think it’s the only way I will find relief. I don’t want to be displaced again. I’m so tired. I’m so tired. I wish I could see you soon, even just for a moment, and hug you, before I die.”
