The over 2 million people who live in Gaza are now indefinitely
without electricity. Hospitals will cease to function, what little
food is left will rot, and medicine that requires refrigeration will
become unusable because of the total siege Israel is subjecting the
population to. The Israeli Minister of "Defense" said this was
justified because people who live in Gaza are "human animals."
Even before Israel's assault, Gaza had an extremely scarce supply
of electricity. But with the Israeli military cruelly blocking any and
all fuel from entering the area, the sole power generation plant in
Gaza had to shut down today. The deadly consequences of this move are
only beginning to be felt. And this comes on top of other large-scale
atrocities, like the destruction of nearly 23,000 residential homes
since Saturday.
Israel's new war on the population of Gaza has intensified an
already-intolerable situation. A blockade has been in place since
2005, causing key infrastructure to break down. For instance, 97
percent of the drinking water in Gaza is not safe to consume.
We need to proudly stand with the Palestinian people in this moment
of grave crisis and demand that all U.S. aid to Israel immediately
end. The Biden administration has already sent its first massive
shipment of ammunition to Israel, and is promising to send as much
weaponry as Israel wants.
Israel's utter brutality is causing a massive global backlash.
