Letter from Gaza, July 2025 - Haidar al-Ghazali — The Palestine Festival of Literature

Over 100 days. That is how long Israel has blocked all but a trickle of aid into Gaza.

Now, fuel is rapidly running out. And no fuel is being allowed into Gaza.

This is not politics. This is survival.

Israeli authorities must urgently lift the siege & ensure #FuelForGaza.

Israel has crossed red line after red line against the people of #Gaza. And now, an entire population is facing erasure. In our masses, let's build our own red line and demand our government takes action now. Start by tapping SHARE

🔴 110,000 people formed a red line in Brussels, because in #Gaza, all red lines have long been crossed.

We urge the EU to:

🕊️ Demand a permanent ceasefire
🚑 Ensure full humanitarian access
📉 Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement

The red line is clear. Now the EU must act.

This 5,200-year-old pottery bowl from Shahr-e Sukhteh, Iran may be the oldest cartoon—its images of a wild goat leaping toward a tree create animation of the goat moving when spun.

REACTION: The @theipcinfo.bsky.social finds the risk of famine "increasingly likely" in #Gaza.

Gaza’s starvation is not incidental—it is deliberate, entirely engineered, and has now created the largest population facing starvation in the world.

Gaza has endured over 18 months of Israeli bombs, many dropped from fighter jets that the UK is supplying parts for. Over 52,000 people have been killed. The UK government are complicit in these atrocities. This has to stop. Now.

Netanyahu — wanted by the ICC for war crimes — has declared plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and annex Gaza.

This follows 64 days of starving a besieged population by blocking food and aid.

The UK must implement a full arms embargo and expel the Israeli Ambassador NOW.

Israel has dropped more bombs in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden & Hamburg combined during WWII [𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘈𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴].

Read that & consider that Gaza is, on average, only 5 miles wide & 25 miles in length.

Life expectancy has dropped from 75.5 years in 2023 to 40.6 years now [𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘵].

Genocide.

If an Israeli - or British or American etc - woman who was eight months pregnant was shot dead by any other military, the whole world would know her name. Her name was Sondos Jamal Muhammad Shalabi. She was 23.
