Words can't capture aspects of the horror of Palestinian life during the current starvation campaign by Isr. Nor do words alone adequately provide a vision for a better future for Palestinians & the world.

Life in Gaza is defined by the sea. Small-scale fishers are the heart of that life. Since 7 Oct, Isrl has denied all fishers access to the sea destroying 75+ per cent of the fishing sector. This destruction is one way that Isrl has starving Palestinians since 1991

How was Isr. able to starve 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza at unprecedented speed and intensity?

I answer this question in my new report. I'll be discussing my report with the @UN General Assembly on Friday, October 18.



Here's a 🧵...undocs.org/a/79/171 This didn’t start in October.

Isr. started restricting goods into Gaza in 1991. Imposed full blockade in 2000. Military siege in 2005. The Isr. Ministry of Health measured incoming calories to ensure that people Gaza stayed hungry enough not to trigger a humanitarian crisis /2

The UN General Assembly asked me to report on the food crisis and pandemic. Here is what I came up with: undocs.org/a/77/177

My new report details structural challenges and provides ways forward.

A thread on how to transform food systems. 🧵 /1 Problem isn't lack of solutions. Many govt's starting to end pandemic relief measures. But these are proof of what's possible. Gov'ts should be building upon these measures. Make them permanent, Don't end them. What are some examples of effective right to food programs?
