I don't understand how Israel can create this humanitarian crisis and then prevent aid from helping. I just went to Oxfam's website to see what they are doing and where donations are going and they've only been able to provide about 6,000 food parcels because Israel won't allow aid workers to have access. As human beings we have a moral obligation to save humans from dying needlessly but Israel is doing this on purpose. They don't deserve this, it doesn't make sense.

It does make sense, but priorities are different so it's less noticeable.

From a military point of view, starving the enemy is a victory in itself. Means fewer numbers to deal with.

And that's all these people are to them, the enemy.
