Paris protesters denounce weaponization of hunger in Gaza
Protesters have taken to the streets of Paris denouncing the humanitarian blockade imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians are losing their lives to either military attacks or hunger caused by restrictions on basic supplies.
First of all, we feel sad. We also feel angry because of [the] inaction of our government here in France.
We feel angry because aid is being blocked while there is enough to feed the entire Gaza Strip. But in reality, food is expiring and even being poisoned, as the Israelis are blocking it.
It's not just the Israeli cabinet blocking aid. The settlers are blocking it as well. And this is unacceptable.
It's unacceptable that the law does nothing, but today, we can't rely on the law and the government anymore. We have to do it ourselves.
We have to keep fighting and resisting. The only solution is to resist.

According to the UN, famine threatens hundreds of thousands of civilians in Gaza, particularly children; heartbreaking images of malnutrition circulate every day.
Humanitarian workers, citizens, and families are all calling for an end to the blockade and urgent access to food and medical aid.
The gathering in Paris was once again marked by a heavy police presence, with several activists being arrested.
What I feel is sadness, really. We feel helpless. We see the situation and say to ourselves that there's nothing we can do. No one is helping them. Today we live in a crazy world.
We see it. They have no money, no food, nothing left. They're being bombed, and we can't do anything.
And now humanitarian aid is no longer getting in. And even for those who have a little bit of money, it's even worse now they can't buy anything. There's nothing left. We saw it earlier, a bag of flour, a kilo of flour, is $320 I mean, what kind of world are we in?
Where is the international community today? Where is it?

Fair plea to the international community, as convoys remain blocked at the borders and the Gaza death toll keeps rising.
In Paris, the word hunger resonates as a weapon. And in the streets, people demand only one thing: that it stops.
