Israel’s assault on humanitarian standards Gaza
We are Israeli historians studying in Jerusalem who have been writing publicly about the war since early 2024. The operations described by Jonathan Whital, as a result of the unprecedented siege and attack on international humanitarian organizations, has become known to anyone ready to listen, in Israel and in the West, for a long time. For our silence, August 3).
The siege of Israel, which has fluctuated in its entirety since October 7, restricted the quantities of food, medicines and basic supplies allowed in the Gaza Strip, and reached its climax in a full siege from March to May 2025. Non -governmental organizations (INOS) and obstructing their ability to work in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The effect was to replace humanitarian organizations with a good reputation by an Israeli private institution funded by the (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation), with no experience in humanitarian aid or commitment to human luxury. The result is the amount of hunger reported to death for more than 100 Palestinians and the shooting of the Palestinians who sought help, killed and injured several thousand. Human life in the Gaza Strip has become very cheap.
For us, as Israeli citizens who believe in the sanctity of human life, the current moment represents our failure, as well as the failure of international law, the international community and most of the media. During the Wilayal period in his position as head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), he was an irreplaceable source of information related to systematic assault on human life in the occupied territories. We live and come to talk to it. Ocha and other wounds need to support governments and the international community to restore a human system directed towards human being and save those who still can be saved.
