Palestinians ‘ready to die in their homes’ rather than doing a ‘death march’: Analysis

Bushra Khalidi, from the British charity Oxfam, says the hunger situation in besieged northern Gaza has deteriorated so drastically that people have resorted to eating animal feed, donkeys and horses just to survive. The comments come as Israel’s military blocked food from entering northern Gaza for the past 10 days, something she called “unacceptable” as it cuts the area off completely. “People are not surviving, people are very likely dying of starvation as they have been since the beginning of the war. The problem is we’re talking about levels of destruction that didn’t exist several months ago,” Khalidi told Al Jazeera. “I don’t know how people will survive. It’s likely they’ll die of starvation, die from the massacres we’re seeing in the north, or die trying to evacuate to the south.” She said most Palestinians are “ready to die in their homes” rather than doing the “death march” to southern Gaza, where Israeli attacks are also ongoing.
