As Gaza faces a man-made famine and widespread starvation, the Palestine Solidarity Alliance (PSA) has condemned the limited opening of corridors for food and humanitarian aid to enter the region.
“Gaza is in an emergency of starvation and needs daily truckloads of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid to flow in immediately and unconditionally. We remain outraged at the escalating and dire situation unfolding live in Gaza and will not stop until Palestine is free,” expressed the PSA.
“Gaza does not need symbolic gestures like PR airdrops that only serve to further humiliate and torment its people. Nor do the Palestinian people need temporary pauses in bombing. What we need is an immediate end to the blockade, a permanent ceasefire, an end to the genocide, and the withdrawal of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from Gaza and all Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT),” asserted the PSA.
This statement follows earlier reports in which aid agency leaders described the focus on airdrops into Gaza as a “grotesque distraction,” noting that such measures do not address the territory’s deepening starvation crisis.
The PSA further reiterated its position, calling for the restoration of order and the rebuilding of Gaza to allow Palestinians to return to their daily lives.
“We recognise that this sudden shift to present opportunities for relief did not come from compassion by those responsible for the destruction of Gaza. It was forced into being by pressure from the ground. It was the voices of millions, the unrelenting protests from Soweto to Cairo and across the world, the global student uprisings, the daily actions of human rights defenders, health workers, educators, and ordinary people refusing to remain silent,” added the PSA.
