Oxfam: Israeli blockades deprive Gaza of most basic humanitarian aid to save people’s lives

Israel’s warfare in Gaza is consistent with the characteristics of genocide, a special UN committee said Thursday, as a Human Rights Watch report said Israel’s displacement of Gazans amounts to a “crime against humanity”. Israel said HRW’s claims were “completely false”, insisting its “efforts are directed solely at dismantling Hamas’s terror capabilities and not at the people of Gaza”, though it had not yet responded to the UN report. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the damning report, FRANCE 24 is joined by Ruth James, Oxfam International’s Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa.
