Afrasianet - Dr. Essam Yousef - Many plans and proposals have been circulating in the media, institutions and private sources for several weeks to provide support to Gaza, and who does not rejoice in this news in light of the real famine the Palestinian people are experiencing?! But everything that is said, written, planned and announced "fears that it will be evil intended for the people of Gaza."
Gaza and its oppressed, grieving, hungry and displaced people, who have been living annihilation every moment for more than a year and a half, need to allow the entry of food and all the necessities of a decent life, whether through humanitarian and relief aid or through merchants' goods.
Experience since the beginning of the war has shown that the army will not hesitate to kill people by bombing these hungry crowds by air and land under various pretexts.
But human dignity before the morsel of food and before drink, and all their talk and suggestions do not take into account human dignity, and the first of that dignity is to open all crossings immediately, and to allow the entry of food and drink for those who die of hunger and do not find a drink of water and a loaf of bread, and this is not a metaphorical talk about famine, but a fact, and testimonies and photos from Gaza, and even the confessions of the occupation itself, confirm that the situation in Gaza is catastrophic, hunger has reached every house and every individual, and the leaders of the occupation boast of refusing to enter a single grain of wheat.
Words are no longer enough to describe the horror of the situation Palestinians are suffering in Gaza, according to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who added: "The imposition of a policy of siege and starvation is a disregard for international law, and the blockade on humanitarian access must be lifted immediately."
These illogical proposals, which only mean more death to the population, are unfortunately consistent with the Israeli genocide, which deprived people of a decent life, and is itself an accomplice to the commission of war crimes and genocide.
Experience since the beginning of the war has shown that the army will not hesitate to kill people by bombing those hungry crowds by air and land under various pretexts, and what is easier for the occupation army and its spokesmen to lie, and fabricate fabrications that justify their crimes, and dozens of crimes committed against charity takaya and aid stores are the best evidence of this, until it came to targeting foreign workers and activists during their work through their international institutions, as happened with the global kitchen.
The accumulation of people in corridors and areas controlled by the Israeli occupation army will make them easy targets that cannot be distinguished in the event of aggression against them. The proposal was rejected by some 15 U.N. agencies and 200 non-governmental organizations, saying the new plan meant "weaponizing aid" and threatening to cause mass displacement of Palestinians.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) rejected Israel's plan, which mandates the use of facial recognition technology as a condition for receiving aid, as a "violation of all humanitarian principles" and that it contributes to "monitoring beneficiaries for intelligence purposes."
U.N. officials said the military approach ran counter to the delicate needs of humanitarian action and was inconsistent with long-term development goals. It is nothing humane to force people in the coming summer months to stand for long hours in the open and in the scorching sun.
If the order is implemented, tens of thousands of citizens are expected to arrive at the proposed distribution areas, in which it will be difficult for any party guarding these areas to control the behavior of hungry people, and this means that there is a clash between the needy themselves or with the security authorities, alien to the local community, which will often be armed and provocative, and the hungry citizen will be the "criminal aggressor infiltrator" according to their narrative!
All the statements of international organizations, including the US administration, categorically denied that Hamas had practiced seizing humanitarian relief materials, but the years of siege proved that the local authorities provided and contributed to providing humanitarian supplies to the residents of the Gaza Strip at all levels of living related to education, health, construction and development, and cooperated with several countries and UN organizations in various ways to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those who are not classified by Israel as Hamas forces, including Qatari assistance that was carried out with the approval of the administration. Israel, which is estimated at no less than fifty million dollars per month, according to statements approved by the Israeli administration and the Israeli army.
The international Arab and Islamic popular movement is under the test for its humanity and its ability to find a solution to this war
UNICEF and the World Food Programme (WFP) have warned of an "imminent catastrophe"; 71,000 children and more than 17,000 mothers are at risk of acute malnutrition.
There is no solution to this humanitarian catastrophe except by stopping the criminal war practiced by the Israeli army, in which it targeted unarmed civilians, killing more than 53,000, most of them women, children, the elderly and the sick, and wounding more than a hundred thousand others.
It is no longer acceptable or logical for Arab and Muslim countries to remain silent and bystander to the extermination of the people of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The international Arab and Islamic popular movement is under test for its humanity and its ability to find a peaceful solution to this dirty war.. otherwise, the world must have peace.
