‘We are dying of hunger’: Gaza civilians collapse under total Israeli siege

A warning to our viewers – the images in this report are deeply disturbing.

Israel’s ongoing blockade on Gaza has led to an alarming rise in the number of people who have been starved to death. Gaza’s health ministry says 19 Palestinians have died of hunger in 24 hours.

The UN says it’s receiving ‘desperate messages of starvation’ while aid is stockpiled just outside and remains blocked.

Israel has abducted and jailed 1,000,000 Palestinians since 1967 — US group’s reportTel Aviv has jailed Palestinians at an average of 47 per day, says a new study, adding US “bankrolled this oppression” against Palestinians for nearly 700 months.

On February 24, Israeli occupation troops abducted Fidaa Assaf from the village of Kafr Laqif in Palestine’s Qalqilya governorate. She was returning from Ramallah Medical Complex after undergoing medical examinations.

Palestinian officials later revealed that the female prisoner, who is married and a mother, was subjected to multiple strip searches and verbal abuse.

They also noted that she was detained in a cell described as unhygienic and infested with insects, and was deprived of water and food for several days.

Background Briefing on R2P

Responsibility to Protect

The Responsibility to Protect – known as R2P – is an international norm that seeks to ensure that the international community never again fails to halt the mass atrocity crimes of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. The concept emerged in response to the failure of the international community to adequately respond to mass atrocities committed in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. The International Committee on Intervention and State Sovereignty developed the concept of R2P during 2001.

The Responsibility to Protect was unanimously adopted in 2005 at the UN World Summit, the largest gathering of Heads of State and Government in history. It is articulated in paragraphs 138 and 139 of the World Summit Outcome Document:
