🧵 Last night, the Israeli army began airdropping international aid over #Gaza after nearly 5 months of a suffocating blockade.
While they may appear as relief, these airdrops are deeply humiliating and reinforce the very starvation they claim to solve. Here's why 👇 1/7 Instead of relief, these airdrops injured at least 11 people and added to the suffering of a population already starved and displaced by Israel’s siege.

🧵#Syria’s healthcare system is on the brink of collapse, with widespread infrastructure destruction, severe shortages of medicines and supplies, a shrinking health workforce, and the closure of several medical facilities
The rapid deterioration stems from years of armed conflict that have exhausted the health sector and deepened its fragility. The absence of effective state institutions to provide basic services and the population’s near-total reliance on humanitarian aid further compounds the crisis

🧵The Israeli army has committed one of its most heinous massacres against starving civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in northern #Gaza. The army ordered the civilians to approach aid trucks with their hands raised and then opened fire on them without provocation
When the first groups arrived, Israeli tanks were already stationed in the area. Soldiers then used loudspeakers to command: “Raise your hands and walk in front of the tanks—those who want flour, come forward.” Around 200 civilians complied.

🧵After 21 months of relentless Israeli genocide, Palestinians in the #Gaza Strip are crammed into a fraction of their land, living with less personal space than detainees at Guantanamo

🧵1/10 Each person in Gaza now has just 24 m² of space—about the same as a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay.
But these aren’t detainees. They’re civilians: families, children, the sick trapped in tents, rubble, and sewage, under siege and under fire.
2/10 Population density averages over 40,000 people per km² across Gaza, surging past 47,700 per km² in al-Mawasi.

🧵Since the start of Israel’s genocide in #Gaza, thousands of Palestinians have left the Strip or been evacuated by certain countries.
But here’s why even this seemingly “voluntary migration” is, in reality, forced displacement, a calculated part of Israel’s broader plan of ethnic cleansing⤵️

🧵Yesterday, for the first time in nearly 4 months, aid trucks finally reached @AneraOrg's warehouses in Gaza, a small breakthrough after relentless Israeli restrictions and the use of organised looting gangs to block and steal humanitarian supplies over the past months.
But just hours later, Israel announced another halt of aid deliveries, reportedly after far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich threatened to quit the government if aid was allowed in.
This comes with the recycled and untrue claim that Palestinian armed factions are stealing humanitarian aid, a narrative Israel has pushed since the start of its starvation policy as a means to justify blocking food, medicine, and fuel from entering Gaza.

🧵Since the start of #Israel’s genocide in #Gaza, Israeli officials and Knesset members have made hundreds of statements calling for the annihilation, starvation, and forced expulsion of Palestinians. These remarks clearly establish the intent, or the mental element, of the crime of genocide under international law. Yet, the incitement continues unchecked.
Here are some of the most alarming statements made just in May⤵️

🧵1/ Hebrew media exposed it: Israel is arming Gaza clan militias—described as “ISIS-style” gangs. Then came the official confirmation: Netanyahu publicly admitted that he has “activated clans” inside Gaza. Famine by siege is now enforced by proxy gunmen. 2/ These armed groups have looted aid trucks, opened fire on civilians, and obstructed distribution. Israel isn’t just starving Gaza—it is engineering chaos to deepen the collapse of civilian life and keep Palestinians hungry.

🧵 After 19 months of Israeli genocide in #Gaza, Europe is finally reacting by freezing arms sales, summoning ambassadors, or pausing trade talks with Israel.

🧵Israel’s escalation of mass displacement in #Gaza reflects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stated condition for a ceasefire: the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s plan to deport Palestinians from the Strip
This escalation confirms that Israel’s actions in the enclave since 7 October 2023, including killing, starvation, and destruction, are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic policy of genocide
