Gaza City

Palestinians at Shifa hospital mourn a relative who was killed

while trying to reach aid trucks entering the northern Gaza Strip

through the Zikim crossing from Israel.

The Israeli plan to take complete control of Gaza City

would entail a further escalation in the 22-month war

and mean more mass displacements of an exhausted and starving population.

Khan Younis, Gaza

Palestinians wait to receive food from a charity kitchen in Khan Younis.

Michael Fakhri, the UN expert who first warned

that Israel was orchestrating a campaign

of deliberate mass starvation in Gaza more than 500 days ago,

has said that governments and corporations cannot claim

to be surprised at the horror now unfolding.
