John Oliver: Gaza is being starved by Israel

 In a new statement made during the “Last Week Tonight” show, host John Oliver criticized Israel’s recent actions in Gaza while shedding light on the ongoing starvation of Palestinians in the Strip by referencing several human rights organizations. 

Oilver stated while referencing several human rights organizations, including the UN, Oxfam, WHO, and many more, that over a third of the population in Gaza is going “days without food.” He added that even for individuals who are suspicious of these organizations, Israeli human rights groups and newspapers such as B’tselem and Haaretz have come to the same conclusion.

He then took jabs at several Israeli politicians, such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Minister of Defence Bezalel Smotrich.

John Oliver concluded, “Gaza is starving, is a sentence that’s objectively true, but it’s also slightly misleading because it’s too passive. Gaza is being starved by Israel.”

By the time of reporting, the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in the killing of at least 60,300 Palestinians and the injuring of more than 147,600 Palestinians, according to the health ministry in the Strip.

Among those killed or injured were starving Palestinians seeking aid. Additionally, over 175 Palestinians, including 93 children, have died from starvation as Israel and Israeli protestors continue to block aid trucks from entering.
