Sickening.

UN has an app called Share the Meal https://sharethemeal.org/ wher you can easily donate to provide food for several places in the world that are in need. It is safe, transparent (show how your money is spent) and allows you to setup a monthly donation. Any value matters a lot.
I know that the major issue today is the logistic because of the monstrosities that Netanyahu government is perpetrating on Palestine people. But we need to focus in what we can do and do our best.
Currently, UN has the best chance to reach those people so, please, let's spread this as much as possible.
You are joking, right?
Do you know that Israel have blocked any food entry to Gaza in the past 63 days and it is refusing to allow UNRWA or any other UN organization to operate in Gaza.
You can't do shit if the genocidal regime of Israel is blocking the food and bombing food storage facilities again and again.
The only way to solve this is to put pressure on Israel and treat them as a rogue nation they are.
As I said in my comment, I know the logistic problem that Israel is creating for any humanitarian support to reach those people. I also mentioned that my point is: instead of focusing on things that we can't change (like crying on Lemmy), we should focus on what is pragmatic: contribute with resources for those people to receive as much help as possible, as soon as possible. Nothing is easier than have a mobile app where you can directly donate any money that you can.
No, I am not joking. I just prefer to do what I can do, instead of doing nothing or just express my meanless opinion on internet, which will have less than zero positive impact in this situation.
If you choose the political pressure, it is also very helpful. But needs to be expressed through concrete actions in the real world: pressure your representative, protesting in front of government buildings, collaborate with resources to spread the information, etc.
I completely understand you! Yet, don´t dismiss the good intentions of other, even if misguided, not all of us can be that well informed nor have the time or can allow that level of mental preparation for it. Unfortunately it is true, Israel has calculated to the last calorie how to made the entire population starve but enough not to die in droves... the plan here is to create civil unrest and that they start killing themselves and finally leave.
Since Palestine is not independent, even before the current genocidal policy, Israel was and is solely responsible to maintain the entire population. "The invader must ensure adequate provisions, even if the population is under siege. Requisitioning civilian resources (e.g., food, fuel) is prohibited if it deprives the population of necessities" (GCIV Art. 55) and always permit Humanitarian access (GCIV Art. 59, 143). All good intentions of, mostly Europe, UN and some NGOs, of paying for the food medicines and infrastructure during all these decades to Palestinians made Israel realize there is no civil cost of maintaining the invasion, see it as aid to subsidize Israel! Horrorized and well intended citizens donating to NGOs for Palestine are great in the short term but enabling Israel to continue at the same time too. But, in the current situation, not even in the short term we are helping since it will be all getting rotted at the border.

The fact that 3000 trucks loaded with food, water and medicine are simply blocked at the border with Egypt makes this far worse.
I am just out of words describing my anger and shame.
As pictures like this one start to trickle through, Israel will end up allowing a tiny bit more of food, even all-powerful Israel knows its limits. But let us not kid ourselves, the conditions in Gaza are horrendous and the physical and specially mental damages inflicting in Gazans are intended and calculated to be as severe as possible. It kind of reminds me of how torture has evolved, from being gruesome and visible, but with the advancement of media exposure now it is perfected to leave less impressionable traces but to continued to be equally psychologically ruinous... I can only imagine the tons of research efforts it has been put into this.
