Statement by Tánaiste, Micheál Martin TD, on the situation in Rafah

Citing UN sources, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs says that the “wholly inadequate humanitarian access over the last 4 months” means that the population faces acute food insecurity, with a serious risk of famine developing. “This is unconscionable,” the statement says.

“Freezing or withdrawing funding to UNRWA further exacerbates these risks - States which have done so must urgently rescind this decision and resume funding.”

    Yeah right, and that justifies starving civilians, sure. Just because they happen to be in the wrong spot (and also not allowed to leave btw)

        Sure I guess, but the other option is just continued use of civilian shields, bombing of civilian infrastructure, starvation, stuff like that. Its just all around bad and I don’t think there is a good solution. But still, humanitarian help is paramount.

          But every ceasefire is broken by hamas, thus just pausing this shit and making it longer, all of this will repeat over and over until Hamas gets completely wiped out. Shure humanitarian aid is important but a ceasefire wont help regarding that.

          The only solution is the removal of every single Hamas person and at best the Irani government as well, Hamas is just their sock puppet.

          I feel sincerely sorry for the civilians but their situation will only get worse when this lasts longer.

            This is not possible. There is no way to bomb away terrorist, many have tried, none have succeeded. And talking about “the only solution is killing” has a bad taste to it. There is no “only solution” for any problem and bombing sure isn’t solving anything. Hasn’t the past decades.

              The past decades have been filled with people like you that supported terrorism with their “bombs don’t help” policies.

                Not wanting civilian infrastructure to be bombed is supporting terrorism? Wow are you absolutist.

                    If you bomb all the schools then they can’t hide in them. And if you kill all the school children they won’t need schools. It makes perfect sense!
