This is the truck convoy carrying humanitarian aid waiting to enter the #Gaza Strip. The conditions required to deliver aid to the people of Gaza exist. We've completed all the necessary logistics to make it happen. Now, the #UN has to keep up.

Many young people in Gaza struggle with depression & anxiety given the chronic stress & trauma associated with life under closure & Israel's repeated military assaults. See our report w/ @GCMHPMedia featuring the voices of Gaza's health care professionals:

Every couple of days, Gazans wake up to a tragic farewell post from young people before they take their own lives. Almost all of them say they couldn’t bear their anguish & the depression they’ve been suffering. Painful how death is becoming a refuge from life in Gaza for many!

Blocking travel through Erez in response to demonstrations by Gaza's perimeter fence constitutes illegal collective punishment, harming Gaza workers and their families, as well as other permit holders who need to travel for humanitarian needs.

In yet another act of collective punishment, Israel is blocking travel via Erez Crossing - Gisha

Doubtful that @MoSalah appreciates the PM Spokesperson's use of his photo to taunt Gaza fishermen while Israel continues to enforce collective punishment against #Gaza residents. Gaza fishing zone is now limited to 6 nm, the 12th change to the zone's demarcation in 2019 alone.

International law prohibits the use of lethal force against civilians unless they participate directly in acts of hostility or pose a concrete risk to life + even then, ONLY to the extent necessary to alleviate the risk and ONLY as a last resort. Protesting ≠ endangering life.

ההצעה לתיקון החוק תאפשר, בין היתר, להעביר סמכויות של מתאם פעולות הממשלה בשטחים לשר מטעם הציונות הדתית, ועלולה להחריף את הפגיעה בחיי פלסטינים

It’s been 1 month of a complete blackout in Gaza following Israel's decision to cut power supply & entry of fuel via both Israel + Egypt. Many hospitals & other critical civilian infrastructure have shut down entirely. This is cruel & unconscionable collective punishment. Enough.

1/ Without electricity, water can't be pumped and distributed. Israel's bombardments have likely caused extensive damage to Gaza's water infrastructure, which will make it difficult to access water even if the electricity and fuel supply is restored.
