It is both crazy and heart breaking that I am writing about FORCED STARVATION again, and I keep screaming about GENOCIDES again and again, and the saddest thing is the beloved Palestinians who keep experiencing this immense pain and suffering again and again.

Israel is repeating its atrocities and I am repeating my humble attempts (and kind of repeating myself) to use my voice against its crimes and impunity again and again…

I shared the definition of genocide once and I am sharing it again, may the cruel genocide supporters open their eyes and hearts.

Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.

Genocide can be perpetrated through various ways, and one of these ways is depriving the group you are trying to destroy of food and water needed to sustain their lives.

Israel is obsessed with forcefully starving Palestinians, without giving a damn about even the children who die in their parents arms because they couldn’t find anything to eat.

Hundreds of children are dying from malnutrition in northern Gaza as a result of Israel’s prevention of letting aid in. Pregnant women, elderlies and children are withering slowly from hunger and no one is even talking about them.

I am honestly speechless, and I don’t have much to say. But since pictures worth thousand words I am leaving you of what Israel’s forced starvation on Gaza has caused…

I am asking you to be Gaza’s voice. The media isn’t talking about the forced starvation Israel inflicted on Gaza, especially Northern Gaza. Innocent civilians are starving to death, and children are slowly dying in front of their mothers. This madness has to come to an end. Talk about Northern Gaza’s dire situation as much as you can and use these hashtags (#Famine_in_North_Gaza)— (#شمال_غزة_يموت_جوعاً) — (#NorthenGazaStarving ).

BE THEIR VOICE

Should I lose my voice, yours shall not leave.
