Without clean water, disease is spreading. And the hardships of life without necessities for daily living do not bear thinking about. Yes, stripping away all dignity is what this is about, as well as punishment and "encouragement" to leave their homeland.

The Guardian I think has done an analysis on the paucity of the food aid being let in and concluded that it is enough to feed only 13% of the population - assuming that everyone needs 3 meals a day because Palestinians are people too. There is also the fact that the aid packages are poor in nutrition and lack the necessary nutrients for child development especially.

The deprivation of children of basic nutrition and clean water, the hundreds of skipped meals over 19-months is going to stunt their growth permanently. Destroying the future of Palestinians, their children, is also what this is about.

Anyone who still insists this is not genocide and ethnic cleansing is either out of their minds from decades of indoctrination and propaganda or is complicit as far as I'm concerned.
