US President visit to the Middle East
Gaza is starving from the complete obstruction of humanitarian aid by Israel.
Israeli aid distribution plan
While the world looks on in horror, Israel continues it's two month long blockade of any humanitarian aid, preventing hundreds of aid trucks from entering Gaza. And now the Israeli government has the audacity to propose that they should be in charge of the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Israel, land grab and starvation
Multiple sources indicate that the Israeli government has approved plans to expand military operations in Gaza, including a potential long-term occupation of territory and the displacement of a significant portion of the population to designated "humanitarian areas." Concurrently, Israel intends to take control of aid distribution, utilizing private security contractors, a move heavily criticized by aid agencies as insufficient and potentially violating humanitarian principles.
All part of the same genocide

Because no U.S. distributor had the courage to show the movie, people in this country have not been able to see it, until now.
Palestinian Dehumanization
Forgive Me, Gaza… Forgive me for my helplessness. Forgive me for every sip of water, every bite of food, every breath I take while you suffocate. Forgive me, if those I met in Gaza years ago ever thought I’d forgotten them. Forgive me if I couldn’t help everyone who asked. Forgive my comfort. Forgive my peace. I seek not your absolution— Only that you know: You are not forgotten. Jamal Kanj
