The #rich countries could always spend less on #military and more on #aid to #poor countries instead of forcing #poor in those countries to work in #sweatshops in deadly conditions. Problem solved! #redistribution
Applies to #climatechange too
Sit-in for Gaza
Station Leiden Centraal, donderdag 31 juli om 18:00 CEST
SIT-IN — No silence while Gaza is starving
Leiden — Central station
Thursday, July 31 — 18:00
Last week, thousands took to central stations across the Netherlands. This week, we continue - louder, larger and more united. The starvation in Gaza hasn’t stopped, so neither do we.
Gaza is still suffering from hunger
Borders remain closed
Aid is being blocked
The world is silent. We are not.
Resist the complicity of the Netherlands.
Join us in protest!
Let your voice be heard, your presence, your solidarity. Let’s make it impossible to ignore. We stand behind Gaza. We stand together.
Bring empty plates and pans to show solidarity with the people of Gaza suffering from hunger.
A friend of mine is going to Lebanon on a humanitarian mission this summer and she's fundraising for it:

A worst-case scenario of famine is unfolding in Gaza and immediate action is needed to end fighting and allow unimpeded aid access, a global hunger monitor has warned. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/29/world/gaza-famine-60000-death/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #israelhamaswar #hunger #children #palestinians #israel #aid

Air-drop operations failed to reach those in need.
Four of six air drops landed in areas under Israeli military control or neighbourhoods where civilians had been ordered to evacuate.
Anyone in these areas faces direct targeting and killing,” making the air drops “not only futile but also dangerous to the starving population.
Israel allowed 109 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip but most were looted during escalating security chaos.
Gaza requires at least 600 aid trucks and fuel daily to meet civilians’ basic needs as famine spreads.

Only 50 trucks have been allowed in over the past three days. This is not nearly enough to address the deepening humanitarian crisis. What has been let inside so far has either been looted or destroyed. What has made its way to the market is either expired or incredibly expensive.
Starvation is on the rise, and we’ve passed the tipping point.

It has marginalised more people, more of the hungry population, pushing them aside because the 22 months of constant bombardment created a power vacuum and conditions for looters and armed gang members to take over aid trucks coming from the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Small amount of aid allowed into Gaza is purely for optics
This is the third day since Israel announced the opening of the “humanitarian corridor”, and what we’re seeing so far is it is designed largely to be theatrical.
It is not effective at all because we’re not seeing the direct impact on the ground.

Experts say the starvation Israel engineered took months to set in and that will need a lot more than a trickle of aid over a few days to reverse.
Words and smokescreens will not stop the imminent threat of mass deaths by starvation in Gaza.

Now and again, Israel offers alternatives that do not resolve the crisis it created in the first place:
Food air drops – inefficient and expensive, five air drops offer the equivalent of one truckload if the pellets fall within people’s reach without harming civilians in the process.
The US and Israeli-backed GHF. Set up to replace the UN, it’s a chaotic operation that turned into a “death trap” for more than 1,000 Palestinians.

Aid organisations need to bring in at least 500-600 aid trucks into Gaza every day – carrying food, medicine, hygiene products, fuel and other critically needed supplies.
The number allowed under the new measures is a fifth of that.
