This is shocking, reprehensible and utterly preventable.
Babies are dying in Northern Gaza while no aid can reach them and their families. Who will be held to account?

1 million women and girls have been forcibly displaced in #Gaza.
Half of them are now in #Rafah.
They are experiencing unbearable suffering, disease, and risk of famine.
We call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
Ireland deeply regrets that the #UNSC was unable to adopt a resolution on #Gaza due to the use of the veto.
The veto is an anachronism that must be abolished.
As 🇮🇪’s FM @MichealMartinTD has said, it is high time the UNSC finds its voice & calls for an immediate ceasefire.
Civilians across Gaza continue to endure relentless Israeli bombardment. In Rafah, civilians with nowhere else to go live in fear of a deadly ground operation. We reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire in the OPT and Israel. Sign our petition now. https://t.co/Rxb74bJ4zY
We extend our sincere appreciation to Ireland, the Tainaste, and the @dfatirl for their commitment to supporting UNRWA and sustaining its vital ongoing work in the Gaza Strip, as well as in the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.

“My son asks me what will be left when we return to Gaza. The answer? Only rubble and memories.” Which is Netanyahu’s plan, hoping the lack of homes to return to will lead many Palestinians to abandon Gaza forever.

We extend our appreciation to 🇮🇪 and 🇪🇸 for their genuine efforts to stop the bloodshed in Gaza.
It is time to hold Israel accountable for its violations to international and humanitarian law.

By providing arms to Israel, EU states & the USA are violating their responsibility to prevent genocide and risk contributing to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
This is an important action by Ireland and Spain.
The EU must demonstrate that it has a rules-based commitment to human rights, and suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement - which is conditional on respect for human rights - is long overdue.
Israel, and the US, are ripping the Genoicide Convention, IHL and human dignity to shreds. It's utterly tragic but very simple -@POTUS stop arming plausible genocide

A full scale ground offensive by #Israel in #Rafah in #Gaza would be a “war crime” and catastrophic for the 1.4 million displaced people sheltering there in dire conditions, according to @Actionaid_Ire CEO @KarolBalfe in today’s @irishexaminer
I rarely praise the Guardian but this is a extraordinary visual investigation of the sheer level of destruction in Gaza:

Absolutely crystal clear when you look through it that the objective is to render the place utterly inhabitable, and destroy Palestinian civil society. Places destroyed are homes, mosques, schools, hospitals, cemeteries, historical landmarks, supermarkets, etc. Everything that makes up a community.
Complete disconnect from the stated goal of fighting Hamas.
