‘We want our politicians to move from words to action’
At a protest in Parliament Square in London, Fiona Smith from the Oxfam charity told Al Jazeera that after watching “atrocity after atrocity being perpetrated on civilians in Gaza”, the protesters want to signal to the British government that “enough is enough.
“We want our politicians to move from words to action and actually make sure something tangible is put into place to make this violence stop,” she said.
“From an Oxfam perspective, our own aid workers are so hungry at the minute that they’re sleeping all the time,” Smith said.
“We know that aid has not been able to get into Gaza since March; there are hundreds of trucks in the Rafah crossing and Jordan waiting to go and feed these hungry people, but they simply cannot get access,” she added.
“What has been put into place – the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation – is basically a killing foundation.”

‘All options on the table’ if Israel does not deliver on Gaza pledges: EU’s Kallas
The European Union’s foreign policy chief has said “all options are on the table” if Israel does not deliver on its pledges to facilitate humanitarian aid in the Strip.
“The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible,” Kaja Kallas wrote in a social media post, adding she had spoken with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar “to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear” that the Israeli army “must stop killing people at distribution points”.
Earlier this month, Kallas said Israel had agreed to expand humanitarian access to Gaza, including increasing the number of aid trucks, crossing points and routes to distribution hubs.
Still stalling, EU is fully complicit in the starvation and continuation of the genocide.
EU Commission boss says ‘images from Gaza are unbearable’
Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, echoed Kallas’s remarks in a social media post saying that Israel “must deliver” on its promises.
“Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable,” she wrote. “The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long. It must stop now.”

UN rights office says 1,054 killed while trying to get food in Gaza
Between May 27 and July 21, Israeli forces killed 1,054 Palestinians in Gaza while they were trying to access food, the UN Human Rights Office has said. It said 766 of them were killed near US-and Israel-backed GHF sites and 288 were killed near UN convoys or other relief organisations.
“Palestinians in Gaza are dying of starvation or bullets of the Israeli army while trying to get food,” read the UN statement. “The horrific physical and psychological deaths and suffering caused by hunger are the result of Israel’s interference in the delivery and militarisation of humanitarian aid.”
