‘If you don’t die from air strikes, you die from starvation’: Euro-Med Monitor spokesman

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “‘If you don’t die from air strikes, you die from starvation’: Euro-Med Monitor spokesman” – below is their description.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Muhammad Shehada, a spokesman for the Euro-Med Monitor, says Israeli operations have turned the north of Gaza into an “extermination zone”.

“That is Israeli journalists using that term as well as a ‘sterile zone’ or a ‘death zone,’” he told Al Jazeera from Copenhagen.

“Early on in this war, [Israeli forces] threw pamphlets on the northern half of Gaza and said every single person who stays behind in the north is going to be dealt with as an accomplice to a terror organisation. So every single person in the northern half of Gaza is treated as a terrorist suspect and is guilty until proven innocent.

“That’s on the one hand. On the other hand, the northern half of Gaza is systematically denied any access to food, medical care, water, fuel, aid or electricity. It’s literally a death zone: if you don’t die from air strikes, you will die from starvation,” said Shehada.
