What the Palestinian people are suffering

There is no need to describe what the Palestinian people are suffering from these days. The whole world knows a lot about this and the donor countries know more than anyone else that their decisions to withhold aid from the Palestinian people are decisions to starve the Palestinian people, who were suffering before (and will suffer now) from unemployment, poverty, homelessness and disease under the weight of an Israeli iron fist, which has not stopped the killings, destruction, land annexation, dividing the Palestinian territories, besieging the Palestinian people and starving them.
