Along with the unrelenting toll of deaths from continuous Israeli bombardment, a quiet death is sweeping through Gazas elderly and childrenlargely unrecorded and undocumented, Euromedmonitor reported.This is the result of lethal living conditions deliberately imposed by Israel to tire the population.
At the forefront of these criminal offenses are starvation, the infliction of severe suffering, deprivation of medical care, and the imposition of an overall blockadeall constituting acts of continuous genocide for over 19 months.Now entering its third consecutive month, the magnified siege has actually had destructive and long-term effectsdisproportionately harming Gazas most susceptible.
Israels systematic policy seeks to destroy all ways of survival and eliminate any path to staying alive.
This deepens the humanitarian catastrophe, making it a main instrument in the execution of genocidal policy.Over the previous week, 14 elderly Palestinians were documented to have passed away across Gaza from complications related to cravings, malnutrition, and lack of treatment.
These deaths are straight linked to Israels total closure of border crossings and its avoidance of humanitarian help and vital goods from entering the Strip since 2 March.
