After more than 21 months of conflict, NGOs and the UN report an increased risk of famine in the Gaza Strip, besieged by Israel. Sunday, July 20, the civil defense of Gaza said that Israeli forces had shot Palestinians who were trying to recover humanitarian aid, killing a total of 93 people.
Today, 25 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Japan, have called to end the war in the Gaza Strip besieged by Israel, in a joint declaration published on Monday.
Faced with this situation, Vincent Lemire, historian and specialist in the Near East, comments the situation at the microphone of RTL. “Since 48 hours, we have crossed a new notch in horror and emergency. On Sunday, shots on the Church of the Sainte-Famille in Gaza. (…) Yesterday, we had an evacuation order in the center of the Gaza Strip and the shots on the main warehouse of the World Health Organization (WHO) and then a situation of starvation that is becoming generalized “he assured this Tuesday, July 22.
If you are still waiting, you will eventually recognize a cemetery and a field of ruins.
