At least 57 Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza as Israel’s punishing blockade of food, water, and other critical aid to the besieged enclave stretches into its third month amid relentless bombardment.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday that most of the victims were children, as well as the sick and elderly, condemning the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a weapon of war” and urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to reopen the borders and allow in aid.

    You need to speak up more than, there isnt enough people speaking up about it. If there was more things would change.

    If you feel helpless, doing and saying more will help lessen this feeling.

    Joining protests and speaking up about this online has helped me tremendously. Yes I have been banned and/or silenced, but I feel good about myself because I am speaking my truth.
