Following the recent ceasefire in Gaza, violence persists with over 100 fatalities since mid-January. Major violations by the Israeli government include blocking humanitarian aid, which Qatari officials deem a breach of international law. Amjad al-Shawa highlights that the entire population of Gaza, reliant on aid due to destroyed infrastructure, faces dire conditions. Meanwhile, the West Bank sees increasing settler violence and military actions, contributing to a rising death toll, exceeding 1,000 since early October. The humanitarian situation remains critical, exacerbated by political maneuvers.
The ceasefire as it stands now is no impediment to the death, starvation and besiegement of an entire population whose homes have been destroyed.
Israeli authorities' decision to halt humanitarian aid into Gaza is a clear violation of the terms of the truce and of international humanitarian law.
The entire population is held hostage. According to Amjad al-Shawa, the whole of Gaza's population relies fully on aid, of all kinds.
Scores of people are still being killed; enough, in any other scenario, to be deemed both alarming and newsworthy.
