Haven’t heard of one good reason why aid via land crossings is being prevented from entering Gaza. The US literally built a pier to deliver aid when this is not an island country. Mass starvation, transferring of population (settlers in the West Bank) against a single culture/people are all forms of genocide. Documented cases of hospitals being destroyed, snipers killing people seeking medical care are all happening, if this isn’t genocide I don’t know what is.

      We are still waiting for the evidence they claimed to have for that, or even the clarification on what these alleged evidence even was. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/03/hamas-gaza-israel-alshifa-tunnels/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/03/... Note that investigations from journalists have serious issues with these allegations, and have shown it is highly implausible this evidence exists, or shows the allegations to be true. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/21/al-shifa-hospital-gaza-hamas-israel/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/21/al-shifa-hos... Also note that this raid severely hampered the operations of the hospital, but didn’t completely destroy it. However, since this statement in January, there was another raid at the end of March, and that raid put the hospital completely out of service. If the first raid destroyed the supposed command center under the hospital, why did they do a second raid? And why did they leave behind mass graves? And where is the evidence for the supposed command center?

“ According to United Nations data, the number of aid trucks entering Gaza hit a peak last week since October: A total of 1,674 aid trucks entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings” - May 10 “ Egypt, which plays an important role in facilitating aid collection and delivery, has complicated matters by resisting sending trucks to Kerem Shalom, according to several Western and Israeli officials;” Rafha crossing remains closed. Northern Gaza has some land based aid. There were air drops. Pier recently broke and will take a week to fix and get back online.
