Sanders Condemns US-Backed Gaza Blockade as Mass Starvation
For 68 days, Israel has completely blocked all humanitarian aid to Gaza, resulting in a worsening humanitarian crisis with at least 57 deaths from malnutrition and lack of medical care. Senator Sanders decried this situation, highlighting that Israel’s stated policy of using aid as a weapon violates international law and basic human decency. He further criticized the US’s complicity, citing billions in military aid to Israel and discussions of a US-led post-war administration of Gaza. Sanders urged an immediate end to US support for Israel’s actions and a surge in humanitarian aid to prevent mass starvation and death.
