‘Man-made famine’

Dear Editor:

In recent days, I, as well as everyone else, have been watching children in Gaza enter the fifth stage of starvation; where death is inevitable, even if food is available.

This has been done by the Israeli army and its denial of aid into Gaza, even though organizations like UNWRA have enough aid outside the border to feed everyone in Gaza. This is nothing if not a deliberate genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Bisan Owda, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, has published a call to action to everyone around the world to bang pots outside Israeli embassies, government institutions, complicit companies and weapons manufacturers, to protest the man-made famine.

I urge everyone who reads this to join in.

Nicholas Bunch,
