Extract from Independent:
The population of Gaza is approximately 1.6 million, with over 50% under 18. Here are some other details the people of Gaza have to endure while living under the yoke of the Israeli Zionist regime, situations created by the direct and deliberate policies of that genocidal regime.
According to the United Nations, the humanitarian situation is so dire Gaza may become completely uninhabitable by next year.
More than 70 per cent of the youth are unemployed, the highest jobless rate in the world.
Ninety-seven per cent of the water is undrinkable and more than half the population lives under the poverty line. Until relatively recently families were existing on less than six hours of electricity a day, which also means key infrastructure like sewage plants have not been operating properly.
The population of Gaza is approximately 1.6 million, with over 50% under 18. Here are some other details the people of Gaza have to endure while living under the yoke of the Israeli Zionist regime, situations created by the direct and deliberate policies of that genocidal regime.
The
average wage declined by over 20% in the past six years. 54% of
Gazans are food insecure and over 75% are aid recipients. 35% of
Gaza’s farmland and 85% of its fishing waters are totally or
partially inaccessible due to Israeli military measures. 50-80
million litres of partially treated sewage are dumped in the sea each
day. Over 90% of the water from the Gaza aquifer is undrinkable. 85%
of schools in Gaza run on double shifts. About one-third of the items
in the essential drug list are out of stock.
The world powers know what is happening in Gaza and the West bank. The world powers know that the Israeli apartheid Zionist government continues to steal Palestinian land at an ever increasing rate. The world powers know that the conditions in Gaza are sub-human, as a direct and deliberate policy of that Israeli Zionist regime. The world powers know that clean water, sewage disposal and electric power are very sporadic luxuries in Gaza, again due to the direct and deliberate policies of that Zionist Israeli regime. The world powers know that what is happening in Gaza is genocide, again as a result of the direct and deliberate policies of the same Israeli Zionist Apartheid regime.
Yet those same world powers turn a blind eye, welcome that poisonous regime to their corridors of power, invite them to their banquets, and pompous ceremonies. That makes them equally guilty of these crimes they are complicit. Palestinian suffering is on the hands of all the Western governments, the stench of Palestinian blood seeps through their stinking marble halls of power.
This situation will not be changed by voting in a new Messiah in this country or that country, the whole rotten system of capitalism that sustains this brutal travesty will always welcome brutal regimes, despots and authoritarian rulers, if there is profit in the deal. Humanity is not in its calculations. To stop this and other brutal inhumanities that ravage our world we have to bring down the root cause, capitalism and its drive for profit at all costs from the insanity of perpetual growth.
