The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has raised alarms about the worsening humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, warning that Israel's severe limitations on essential goods are intensifying the suffering of nearly two million displaced Palestinians amid cold weather.

The Geneva-based organization issued a statement on Wednesday, criticizing Israel for restricting the flow of essential goods such as clothing, blankets, and shoes, which the NGO said is aimed at imposing dire living conditions on the Palestinian population that will ultimately lead to their destruction as part of a broader genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip.

Why aren’t the UN airdropping supplies?

The UN really is a useless institution, if it can’t pull countries into line or at the very least aid the innocent, what’s the fucken point of it?

The UN does not enforce anything important. It exists so countries can publicly state their opinion on events.
