Rula Jebreal: To Starve 2 Million People in Gaza Is a War Crime

‘They see children consuming water that’s unfit for human consumption’

EXCERPT:

JEBREAL: “Now we're seeing a catastrophe that is unfolding that I think in Palestinian history they remembered in 1967. In the Middle East, they connected to the humanitarian catastrophe that took place in Yemen. Gaza is a small strip of land. You have 2 million people. So, to starve 2 million people, which is a war crime, where they call it out as a war crime, they are seeing people that are -- especially children. I mean 1,800 died. They see children consuming water that's unfit for human consumption. They're seeing people basically being operated without any anesthesia. But also they are seeing real starvation.”
