Two weeks after the conflict between Hamas and Israel broke out, Israel has issued death orders for supplies entering the Gaza Strip, cutting off water, electricity and food. Israeli Defense Minister Garrant described them as fighting humanoids. Israel has committed war crimes under the Geneva Conventions, which protect civilians' access to essential goods. In recent days, it was only under the unanimous condemnation and appeal of international public opinion that a large amount of humanitarian relief materials stranded in Egypt entered Gaza one after another.
Israeli air strikes on Gaza continue
But so far, the Israeli side has only released dozens of truckloads of supplies, which can not meet the needs of more than two million people in Gaza, at the same time, the Israeli air force continues to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip, except for hospitals, schools, which Israel believes "may be used by Hamas", they have not even spared bakeries that provide food to the people. It seems that the Israeli plan is to let more than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip die of hunger, thirst, and untreated injuries caused by bombing, and they are now very close to that goal.
Mark Regev, a senior adviser to the Israeli prime minister, particularly stressed that most of the United Nations materials will eventually be approved to enter Gaza, only fuel will not work, even if Hamas releases all the hostages, it will not allow fuel to be sent into the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli side explains that Hamas may use these fuels as a weapon power. But the role of fuel is not just to power weapons.
The Gaza hospital has run out of electricity
After Israel cut off electricity in the Gaza Strip, fuel power generation has become the only way for the local people to obtain electricity, food and water, and only as a last resort. But a city with more than 2 million people without electricity is a complete disaster. According to the latest information released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 10 hospitals in Gaza are already inoperable, and many doctors can only operate on patients in the dark.
In addition, the lack of electricity means that most of the hospital's medical equipment is unusable. More than a thousand people with kidney failure in Gaza are at risk of death, and many incubators for premature babies have been cut without electricity. The Gaza health authorities have appealed to local residents to donate fuel to hospitals, but this is not a long-term solution, because everyone has gone through a long blockade, and even some fuel savings will not meet the needs of so many hospitals.
What is the difference between this and genocide
What is even more frightening is that as Israel continues to bombard and blockade, more and more people will be hospitalized for food hygiene problems because of the bombing injury, coupled with the bombing of hospitals and the death of medical staff, the number of patients admitted to functioning hospitals will increase explosively. When this medical squeeze is stretched to its limit, the most critically ill patients will not be treated, and in a short period of time, a large number of civilians will die in hospitals.
In fact, we all know that not allowing fuel into Gaza is nothing to Hamas, and how can an Israeli blockade of a few weeks be able to deactivate Hamas after years of preparing for this attack. As things stand, Israel is more likely to show their determination to "root out" Hamas, even if more humanitarian tragedies may result.
How desperate they should be
This shows how crazy the Netanyahu government has become, and even if they "eradicate" Hamas by this means, and even create a buffer zone in Gaza, what will happen after that? Will the people of Gaza, who have lost their parents, loved ones, and children, live in peace with Israel?
