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?

    Am I the only one who is bothered by the source of this article? For the record that is an Iranian state controlled website. And considering they have a beef in this fight they will be opinionated. Can we try to stick to more trustworthy sources? Like APNews, Reuters, BBC, etc.

        And instead is owned by Iran. Come on, give me a break. And starting that BBC, AP and Reuters are owned by Israel is bold of you.

        And don’t tell me that your website doesn’t spread propaganda, because they most certainly do. Just propaganda that’s closer to your liking.

          You can’t deny the influence of Israel on these news outlets though. How is this fucking normal? No one will call it information warfare but that’s what it is

            So posting news from Iran state owned media is not propaganda in your eyes? How would you feel if someone here posts news from an Israeli state owned media source? It is obvious that both sides have a beef in this war and their news coverage of it won’t be impartial.

            I am all about accurate and impartial news coverage. And a lot of serious media outlets have been very critical to the state of Israel and I would rather see news from those covering the conflict.

              I am completely fine with someone posting Israeli media outlets. As long as they are properly sourced and preferable use correct language.

              This article uses EuroMedMonitor as a source fyi.
