Death by starvation, especially among children suffering from malnutrition and lack of medicine and food, is a stain on the brow of the world, which is witnessing this hideous death and this deliberate killing, due to the ongoing unjust blockade and the ongoing war of extermination and ethnic cleansing. Yet, the world does not rush to implement international laws stipulated in all UN forums, impose a halt to this massacre, and lift the restrictions of the blockade to allow aid to enter. Rather, we see it expressing solidarity with the victim in a weak voice, barely audible, and not taking any serious action to save the people of Gaza from the death that threatens them with annihilation.
Another child died after his body could no longer bear the hunger. He died in the arms of his mother, who wept for his death, wept for her inability to feed him, wept for her weakness and the fragility of her exhausted body, and cursed humanity, which deserved to be cursed because it watched silently, watched in silence, and succumbed to rhetoric and slogans with engorged stomachs and consciences unshaken by all the scenes of death and images of devastation. In the clear image broadcast on satellite channels, a woman, covered in hunger and thirst, fell to the ground in front of the camera, while the reporter was broadcasting live, describing the reality of the situation and the fates of death that threaten the lives of those who remained alive.
The occupation, which insists on pursuing a policy of starvation to death against children, the elderly, and women, to achieve genocide in all its aspects and dimensions, continues to impose its tight siege from all sides, and prevents the entry of medicine and food, while boasting that it is committing the most heinous massacres and killing people through bombing and starvation. What humanity is witnessing today of mass massacres, is unprecedented in its ugliness, nor in this suspicious silence that surrounds it. It is unprecedented in contemporary history, and it has been continuing and ongoing for 654 days.
Death continues to creep in, without mercy, on the people of Gaza, while the world stands by, watching the scene of destruction with eerie silence, as if consciences have died, and humanity has been eroded into corners of fear, interests, and cold calculations.
The continuation of this global silence is not merely complicity, but actual participation in the crime, a direct signature on the mass execution and annihilation that threatens the people of Gaza. If the human conscience does not awaken now, when will it? When will it awaken and stop the crimes, massacres, and genocide?
