Humanity
<<There are no 'humanitarian zones' or 'evacuation orders' in Gaza
It is time the world starts using the correct terminology for Israel's
actions in Gaza: genocide.
As you read this, many families in Gaza are weighing whether they should
flee their current shelter and risk having to endure the harsh winter
out on the streets or risk being bombed and killed where they are. There
is no guarantee that they will be safe from Israel’s bombs and bullets
if they choose either option. These are dilemmas no human should ever
have to endure, yet recent research by Action For Humanity found that 98
percent of the 200,000 people in the <humanitarian zones> in central
Gaza have had to wrestle with them. In fact, according to our findings,
more than a quarter of these people have had to move 10 or more times in
the past 13 months.
Yes, you read that right - the people in these <humanitarian zones>
received <evacuation orders> and had to flee to save their lives, often
with just the clothes on their backs 10 or more times in just over a
year. The research, based on the testimonies of displaced Palestinians
on the ground, revealed that Israel's <evacuation orders> often give
people just an hour, and sometimes even less, to pack up what remains of
their lives and run for their lives. And when they agree to <evacuate>,
they are often still chased by a hail of bullets as they try to find new
shelter in another <humanitarian zone>. The devastating details in the
report, titled Erasure by Design, make it clear that there are no real
humanitarian zones in Gaza and that the <evacuation orders> Israel
issues are not aimed at getting Palestinians out of harm’s way. The use
of these terms by Israel, its allies and international media serve only
to whitewash what is happening before our eyes in Gaza: land grabs under
the threat of extermination. The Israeli military is not acting humanely
or doing Palestinians a favour when it threatens them with death by
bombing if they do not leave their homes and makeshift shelters. It is
not driving exhausted, starving people constantly from one place to
another under threat of death and maiming, using difficult to decipher
guidance, out of humanitarian concern. It is doing so to ensure nowhere
in Gaza is safe for Palestinians. It is trying to kill two birds with
one stone: creating the illusion of adherence to humanitarian law while
laying the groundwork for illegally expanding Israeli territory.
This is why we should stop using the language of <humanitarian zones>
and <evacuation orders>.
According to our findings, a third of Israel's <evacuation orders> were
handed down in the night while families slept. About 85 percent of
Palestinians we talked to who are currently sheltering in the
<humanitarian zones> in Deir el-Balah and al-Mawasi said they
experienced difficulty in understanding the evacuation orders they
received at some point in the past year. A further 15 percent said they
were unable to evacuate due to disability or caregiving responsibilities
after receiving an <evacuation order>. Because Israel rarely if ever
provides people with a means of transport or alternative shelter after
ordering them to move, its <evacuation orders> are especially
meaningless for disabled, pregnant, injured, chronically ill or elderly
Palestinians and their caregivers. The conditions for those who are able
to repeatedly evacuate and move into new <humanitarian zones> are not
any better either. They too live under constant threat of extermination
and have limited or no access to most basic resources. The food that can
be found in these ever-shrinking humanitarian islands in the strip has
almost no nutritional value and is rancid to the point of inedible. As
Israel turned off the taps and poisoned most wells with its bombs, there
is not sufficient water either. Sixty-eight percent of those who took
part in our research said they are struggling to access clean drinking
water. They say they are going without water for as long as they can and
risking illness by drinking any water they can find when they absolutely
have to. For nearly 20 percent of the population, this isn't even an
option: There's no water - clean or otherwise – for them to choke down.
Getting ill from contaminated water can be a death sentence in itself in
Gaza with more than 80 percent of the population having no access to
healthcare even in <humanitarian zones>. So the reality on the ground is
clear: There are no <humanitarian zones> or <evacuation orders> but only
threats of extermination and islands of mediaeval suffering not fit for
basic survival, let alone dignified living. Israel is treating all
Palestinians as subhuman and forcing them to endure conditions fit for
the Dark Ages to push them permanently off their land and claim it as
its own. It is blocking aid access to North Gaza, allowing in the
absolute minimum in other areas and has banned the United Nations aid
agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA - the main lifeline for
Palestinians - from operating in the area. And it is doing all this
while pretending to meet its humanitarian duties under international
law. This is happening now. As you read this article. And the world is
letting it happen. Action For Humanity's findings are not anecdotal. It
is supported by research by many other humanitarian organisations, the
UN itself and most importantly, the firsthand accounts of Palestinians
enduring the genocidal actions of Israel. The world cannot continue to
turn a blind eye to what is happening in Gaza. We have endless
quantitative, empirical evidence: Israel’s actions in Gaza have nothing
to do with defence or humanitarian concerns. Every action by Israel in
Gaza is a tool for territorial expansion, mass displacement and
extermination.
This is why the world must stop using Israel's preferred language when
talking about Gaza.
There are no <humanitarian zones> or <evacuation orders> in the strip.
There are land grabs, extermination and atrocities at industrial scale.
There is no <humanitarian crisis> in the region either. It is time we
drop all the euphemisms that help Israel shield itself from
accountability and start calling what's happening in Gaza what it is: a
genocide.
