Mustafa Barghouti, founder of the Palestinian National Initiative and a former parliament member, has said that 20 trucks of humanitarian would “not change much of the reality of collective punishment”.

In a video clip he shared, he said, “The fact that Israel continues to intimidate and threaten no less than 27 hospitals in Gaza that they would be bombarded unless they evacuate […] This could mean repeating the same massacre that happened at the Baptist hospital in Gaza.

“We need immediate support to reduce this at of collective punishment against the Palestinian people,” the activist stated.
