UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) shelters are currently housing around 930,000 people, a figure that represents over three-quarters of Gaza's population.

We speak with Tamara Alrifai, spokesperson for UNRWA, about the organization sheltering close to a million Palestinians from Israel’s assault, which has killed 104 of her colleagues since the beginning of the war.

Some countries are cutting financial support to the very local organizations that are best positioned to respond to Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.

Our elected officials must listen to the majority of American people who are demanding peace so that Palestinians can live freely, instead of dreaming about it.

Does this situation shines a spotlight on the urgent need for humanitarian intervention and an end to the ongoing crisis in the region?

The major challenge for the United States is the perennial trade-off between guns and butter.

Israel's war crimes in Gaza and the propaganda by which it justifies them are based on the weak—and incorrect—interpretations of the Geneva Conventions that the U.S. has relied on throughout its recent wars.

For media institutions, the challenge lies in navigating the treacherous waters of state discourse without becoming its unwitting conduit.

As the carnage in Gaza continues, Washington is rushing to provide extra military assistance worth $14 billion.

We implore the President, political leaders in the US, world leaders, and all people not just to value the lives of people killed in Israel, but also the innocent Palestinians killed by Israeli policy since 1948 in Gaza.
