I hope I'm wrong and it helps a lot.

I hope it averts starvation for every man, woman & child in #Gaza.

I hope it averts the deaths of the dozens of children under 5 who are presently dying from *man-made starvation* due to Israel's #TotalSiege policy - every week in Gaza.

And I hope everyone who celebrates this step, thinks about the reasons it wasn't taken earlier, even though it could have easily been done by picking up the phone.

Again, we owe it to these 7 #WCK volunteers to watch The #Gatekeepers, a documentary by an Israeli filmmaker who managed to interview 6 former directors of #ShinBet.

It opens with a frank discussion about the type of drone strike that #IDF used yesterday to assassinate 7 volunteers who were in #Gaza to provide food to #Palestinians whom #Israel has been starving for 6 months under its official policy of a #TotalSiege, imposed as #CollectivePunishment for #Hamas' actions.

#SouthAfrica requests #ICJ measures against #Israel for creating 'apocalyptic' famine conditions in #Gaza

For 6 mos #Netanyahu has imposed a #TotalSiege & let only "a trickle" of aid in via 2 crossings. #IDF also targets Palestinians awaiting food aid. On Feb 29, it killed 112 Gazans waiting for aid SW of #GazaCity, wounding 750

CEO Melanie Ward:“it is long past time for the US, the UK & others to use their substantial weight to ensure that their ally Israel immediately reopens land crossings"
