[The] U.N. World Food Programme estimates that at least 300 trucks of food are needed every day to meet the basic needs of the population. During the first half of March, an average of 159 trucks a day have entered Gaza, representing 40% of the minimum amount required, according to U.N. data. Before the Israeli offensive, an average of 500 trucks entered every working day, including fuel trucks.

The fact that there’s very little we can do to actually stop this besides boycotting and protesting about this, is what makes it even more awful tbh

Raising awareness is critical. Just posting online helps. We're already seeing a massive change in the narrative because more people are starting to wake up to the reality.

Many countries are starting to place arms embargoes and even sanctions on israel because their public opinion is shifting. The faster public opinion shifts the faster israel will be thrown aside as the pariah they are.

Anecdotal, but I've spoken to Palestinians recently about how hopeless it feels. But they've responded that they've never seen so much awareness and support, not even in 2021. So this gives me some hope.
