No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.
That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

Our findings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war.
