The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the international community was faced with two choices when it came to Gaza – either to act or remain voyeurs.
During a press briefing, OCHA spokesperson Olga Cherevko, who has spent nearly five years working in Gaza said: “The decision makers have watched in silence the endless scenes of bloodied children, of severed limbs, of grieving parents move swiftly across their screens – month, after month, after month.
“The international community has a choice – to keep scrolling through the grisly images of Gaza being suffocated and starved or muster the courage and the moral fiber to make decisions that can break this merciless blockade. The people in Gaza had no such choice: their fate hangs in the balance of our collective responsibility to act. How much more blood has to be spilled before enough became enough?”
