'Starvation as a weapon': Local Palestinian-Americans with families in Gaza describe worsening humanitarian situation

Last week, WBBM News radio reported on local Muslim leaders and Palestinian-Americans with family ties in Gaza, who shard alarming accounts of a deteriorating humanitarian situation. Describing Israel’s use if “starvation as a weapon,” they emphasized the urgent need for increased supplies to the region. Additionally, concerns were raised about Israel’s alleged withholding of aid entry into Gaza, amidst the U.S. deliberation on expanding military funding for Israel.
