The Israeli military has issued a new evacuation order for Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, indicative of renewed military action. 200 days later, Israel's genocidal military campaign against Gaza continues unabated amid the international community's failure to hold Israel accountable.

🧵Today, we called on UN agencies involved in the delivery of aid and relief into
#Gaza
to adhere to the humanitarian principles of neutrality, independence, impartiality and humanity and categorically reject Israeli-imposed conditions aimed at forcibly transferring Palestinians.

🚨 62-year-old Akram Ahmed Sultan died after Israel blocked for three times his requests for a permit to leave
#Gaza
to receive life-saving care in Jerusalem.
He is the sixth patients to lose his life due to Israel's discriminatory & arbitrary permit system in 2022.

New, powerful warnining by UN Expert
@PaulaGaviriaB
: "[...] [t]he only logical conclusion is that Israel’s military operation in
#Gaza
aims to deport the majority of the civilian population en masse".
How many more warning bells must UN Experts ring before they are heard?

In the past two months,
#Gaza
has become the deadliest place in the world for journalists and media workers.
Israel's widespread and systematic attacks on Palestinian journalists and their families should be investigated as the crime against humanity of persecution.

Lets be clear:
#Gaza
's humanitarian emergency is purely man-made and, as such, can be stopped before it reaches a point of no return.
Western states have the leverage/responsibility to demand Israel to restore water supply to the civilian population + allow humanitarian aid in

👉🏽Just a reminder that when Palestinians in
#Gaza
protested to demand the return of Palestinian refugees to their hometowns from which they were forcibly expelled in 1948 and an end to the closure and blockade of Gaza, Israel killed 217 protesters and injured thousands more.

@ochaopt
: the average water consumption in
#Gaza
for all needs (drinking, cooking and hygiene) is currently about 3 litres per person per day.
💧
@WHO
estimates that 50-100 litres of water per person per day are needed to ensure most basic needs are met.

Let it be clear: the Israeli government is intentionally and deliberately starving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza.
Not one of the three crossings between Israel and northern Gaza is being used to deliver aid. Aid delivery from southern Gaza is obstructed.

It is raining in
#Gaza
today. Temperature is getting increasingly cold.
There are over 1.5 million internally displaced persons in Gaza, many of whom live in tents or overcrowded shelters with very little access to food, water and other basic necessities, let alone heating.

Debates and plans over the delivery of aid by air or sea to starving Palestinians flagrantly ignore Israel's obligations under international law.
Instead, Israel's backers—primarily the US—must demand that Israel reopen all land crossings w/ Gaza & stop obstructing aid delivery.

After this bloodbath, Israel closed Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings this morning.
Erez is also closed for medical patients in need of life-saving treatment outside of
#Gaza
.
This is a textbook collective punishment of over two million Palestinians who have nowhere to shelter.
Last night Israel attacked
#Gaza
, killing at least 13 Palestinians, including 4 children and 4 women.
Another 18 Palestinians were injured, most of them women and children.
4 residential units were totally destroyed, while more houses were partially damaged.

🚨 The Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced that hospitals in
#Gaza
have entered a full-blown state of collapse due to power + fuel shortages.
At least 12,500 injured people, many of whom are in need of urgent, life-saving medical treatment, will be unable to be treated.
