Israel still maintaining a ‘famine policy’ in Gaza
Sami Al-Arian, a professor at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University, says the international community has failed to hold Israel to account for ignoring its obligations under the ceasefire, including to facilitate the entry of more aid into Gaza.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Al-Arian pointed out that the amount of aid entering Gaza since the ceasefire started has fallen well short of the promised 600 trucks a day.
“All of the conditions of the ceasefire have been violated,” Al-Arian said.
“Where is the aid that [Palestinians] were promised? Where is the safety they were promised – the shelter, the medical aid? None of that is coming in.”
“Famine is still a policy that Israel has been upholding,” he said.

Palestinians struggle to identify loved ones buried in Gaza City mass grave
We are at an area [near al-Shifa Hospital] where 72 bodies are being dug out of the ground. These bodies were buried here almost a year ago after Israeli forces withdrew from the area around al-Shifa Hospital.
We’ve seen family members arriving here – including mourning mothers and collapsing fathers – searching for the remains of their loved ones.
But out of the 72 bodies, only five have been identified by their families. Every other body has been given a number and will be taken to al-Shifa Hospital to hopefully be properly identified.
Still, thousands of victims remain missing, not just in this area.
