More video and eyewitness info on Al Jazeera so far

Also reported on Common Dreams and Middle East Eye.

I haven’t found any reports of any independent investigations yet, hopefully they are underway

    Gaza has been blockaded by Israel since 2005.

    Did you even BOTHER reading the links?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip

    "Israel blockaded the Gaza Strip at various levels of intensity in 2005–2006, with Israeli imposed closures having a history going back to 1991.[7][8][9][10][11] In 2007, after Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip, Israel imposed an indefinite blockade of Gaza that is ongoing to present day, on the grounds that Fatah and Palestinian Authority forces had fled the Strip and were no longer able to provide security on the Palestinian side.[12] "

    Here’s another good one:

    https://www.oxfam.org/en/timeline-humanitarian-impact-gaza-blockade

    “Less than 16% of items needed to construct vital water infrastructure are reaching Gaza”

    You: “bUt why Don’T theY dO sOMetHiNg ABout HAMaS?”

    They can’t. They literally can’t, and the reason they can’t is Israel’s blockade.
