      It’s entirely man-made. Israel has had control of Gaza with the occupation and blockade since 1967, enforcing policies for the de-development of Gaza’s economy. Over 60% of people were already food insecure. Israel’s policies of Water control left everyone with half the water of the emergency WHO standards.

      Israel has shut off all food, water, electricity, and aid to Gaza. Because as occupiers they have that power over occupied territories. They’ve repeatedly targeted refugee camps, hospitals, safe zones, and aid trucks.

      “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly"
