U.N. agencies said on Tuesday the two main crossings into the southern Gaza Strip remained shut, virtually cutting off the Palestinian enclave from outside aid with few stocks positioned inside.
The global agency’s humanitarian office spokesperson Jens Laerke told journalists Israel had shut both the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings for aid and people as part of its military operation in Rafah, where around 1 million uprooted people are sheltering.
Oh no the imaginary Biden red line has been crossed. If only Biden didn’t give israel 26 Billion dollars in weapons right before they commit this massive Genocide! Well too late now, nobody could have seen this coming!
Biden may have a strong influence here as the president, but let’s not pretend he literally was the one to do all of this.
Let’s also not forget Trump would be far worse. But yes, Biden is failing to help this situation, and it’s bullshit.
My boy Bernie would have done so much better. Fuck the DNC and all the democrats that voted for Biden over Bernie in the primaries. What a massive mistake this was.
Biden does all of this
Could stop all of this at any time by invoking Leahy law
Actively lies that israel is not committing war crimes
Bypasses congress to sell weapons instead and uses dirty loopholes
“let’s not pretend he was the one to do this”.
Let’s also not forget Trump would be far worse.
Bernie “rejects ceasefire calls, says Israel must defend itself against Hamas” Sanders would have saved us!
Someone should let the U.N know about this
“If Rafah gate closes for an extended period, it’s hard to see how famine in Gaza can be averted,” he said.
Been hearing about “imminent” famine since November.
Well, you’re in luck, the U.N. now says it’s a full-blown famine.
Actually according to this guy it. Can still be averted.
Well, sure, it’s a human-caused famine which the government of Israel could decide to avert.
And they have averted it.
this is great news, let me just tell all the dead children
Who did what?
I hope you have the joy of knowing you said this when you see a pic of a starving child in Palestine.
There’s kids starving right around here.
You know that doesn’t justify your cold hearted comment right?
Its been staved off since Hamas lowered food prices. You know, because of all the free aid thats been coming in which Hamas takes and then makes the Palestinians buy from them. Just another reminder that nothing about this situation is black and white.
how’s that shitty dock going?
How many refugees can Egypt or Jordan realistically take? Are they at least willing to take the children?
These two nations right now are likely most capable of saving as many lives as possible, given their proximity. Is something like this even on the table?
Why doesn’t Israel take the refugees? They claim that they’re targeting only hamas after all and that they care a lot about innocents, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Besides that, if Palestinians leave their homes then Israel will just do more illegal land grabs and settlements.
I don’t think any of us would accept Israel taking the children. Obviously nobody wants a refugee crisis, but Israel would be the cause of that refugee crisis, not the solution.
Totally off the table.
Firstly Egypt and Jordan don’t want to give Israel more justification to annex Gaza through the displacement of Palestinians.
Secondly, security “Cairo does not want to have a new security problem on its hands in this problematic region,” Fabiani said. Jordan has similar concerns considering they had a king assassinated by a Palestinian in Jerusalem
Clearly we don’t want more annexations, I just wish somebody in the region was capable of preserving the life of children here.
You are pointing out why the refugee crisis still exists after decades. No neighboring countries will accept the Palestinians, and many don’t want to leave.
Israel is clearly creating the problem, but other regional actors are using the Palestinians as pawns because they don’t like Israel (and don’t actually care about Palestinians dying). Larger countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran have the land and the money to give them a better life.
Iran especially doesn’t care about the Palestinians. They’re a different religion, as you can see in this picture:
