FEATURING HUWAIDA ARRAF - It has been six months since Israel’s latest war on Palestinians began and the death toll has surpassed 33,000. Human Rights Watch has just released a report accusing Israel of using starvation “as a weapon of war” against Palestinians and particularly children. 

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterrez issued an urgent call to end Israel’s war saying it has unleashed, “relentless death and destruction to Palestinians in Gaza.”

Meanwhile Doctors Without Borders has accused the Israel Defense Forces of targeting aid workers after the killings of 7 World Central Kitchen staff, saying “the pattern of attacks is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence.” 

Responding to the on-going genocide, activists and advocates of Palestinian rights are planning to set sail on a number of ships carrying aid directly to the people of Gaza as part of a Freedom Flotilla Coalition.
