“Israel MUST open the borders and allow the United Nations to deliver supplies in sufficient quantities.”

“The United States, which has helped fund the Israeli military for years, cannot sit back and allow hundreds of thousands of innocent children to starve to death,” Sanders (Vt.) said in a statement. “As a result of Israeli bombing and restrictions on humanitarian aid, the people of Gaza are facing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”

Israeli forces have killed more than 30,200 Palestinians in Gaza—most of them women and children—while wounding over 71,300 others and displacing around 90% of the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people. Children are now starving to death, and experts say adults, especially elders and other vulnerable people, will soon follow absent urgent intervention.

    Of course aid should be a top priority. But even if supposedly Hamas did everything you said (which they didn’t as the BBC wrote an article detailing the fire came from israel), the aid one is one you cannot possibly attribute to Hamas.

    Uh, did I miss something?

    When in my comment did I say what Hamas did?

      Your claim directly implies that Hamas is killing civilians which we know they don’t. The only party that is willing to kill their own civilians is israel

        Hamas has at the very least accidentally killed civilians, but I don’t think we’ll come to an understanding on this.

          Sure they might have. That amount will be negligible and I don’t see how it has any relevance to this current situation.
