CAIR: Incessant IDF Strikes Making Gaza Aid Deliveries ‘Virtually Impossible’: Oxfam – Common Dreams
The Guardian reported over the weekend that at least 30 child deaths from malnutrition have been recorded in Gaza in recent months. Two Palestinian children died of starvation at a hospital in central Gaza last week, according to the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights.
Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in response to Oxfam’s statement Tuesday that “despite the Biden administration’s long-awaited expression of support for a permanent cease-fire, it continues to fund the Israeli government’s daily genocidal war crimes against Palestinians in Rafah and the rest of Gaza.”
“The Biden administration must take concrete action to force the Israeli government to stop the slaughter and starvation in Gaza,” said Hooper. “The genocide must end now, without delay.”
