Moroccan Doctors Call for Hunger Strike to Support Medical Colleagues in Gaza
Rabat — Moroccan healthcare professionals will stage a hunger strike today in solidarity with medical workers in Gaza and civilian victims of the Israeli-induced starvation and genocidal war. The Moroccan Coordination of Doctors for Palestine announced the hunger strike for August 7, representing medical professionals across Morocco who want to support their Gaza counterparts and Palestinian residents suffering from catastrophic, inhumane conditions. This hunger strike forms part of a broader campaign of protests and sit-ins taking place in multiple Moroccan cities. The demonstrations aim to support Palestinians facing Israeli attacks and worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The medical coordination group has made several demands through these actions. Notably, they demand that Israel end what they describe as systematic starvation policies against Palestinians. The doctors also call for an end to genocidal assaults against civilians and the opening of border crossings to allow food and medical supplies to enter Gaza. Additionally, the Moroccan medical professionals demand that Morocco end all forms of diplomatic normalization with Israel. The strike reflects a growing concern among Moroccan healthcare workers about the conditions their colleagues face in Gaza's medical facilities. Many hospitals and clinics in Gaza have suffered Israeli bombardment during the ongoing genocide, making it impossible for medical staff to provide medical care for victims. The Moroccan doctors' action represents one of several solidarity movements emerging across the Arab world as healthcare professionals express concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the challenges facing medical workers there. The World Health Organization has reported that at least 94 percent of hospitals in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, making it impossible to provide health care to victims of the genocide.

Gaza Death Toll Rises Amid Starvation, Airstrikes
Rabat — In the Gaza enclave, innocent Gazans continue to battle, not only the Israeli Occupation Forces' (IOF) bombardments, but the hunger looming over their lives.

Gaza Starvation, Genocide: Death Toll on the Rise
Rabat — The Israeli genocidal machine is still claiming the lives of innocent civilians in Gaza, amid acute starvation in the enclave. In the past 24 hours, at least 135 Palestinians, including 87 people seeking aid, were killed in Israeli Occupation Forces across Gaza. Meanwhile, Medical sources reported the deaths of 5 Gazans in the past 24 hours due to Israeli-induced starvation, bringing the death toll from famine-related issues to 139, including 96 children. The catastrophic situation has been alarming since Israel applied a blockade on food and aid entry via the border crossings since March 2, leading to a staggering starvation intertwined with the genocidal war. International human rights organizations have issued alarming warnings about the situation, calling Israel's approach a weaponization of food and aid for genocidal purposes. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has previously warned that famine among children under five doubled between March and June due to the ongoing blockade. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have soared, as nearly one in five children under five suffers from acute malnutrition. Plans for a total seizure of Gaza Israeli media sources report that Prime Minister Netanyahu's war cabinet is set to approve full occupation of Gaza, including areas where Hamas captives remain. Palestinian officials have strongly condemned the plan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community to 'intervene urgently to prevent their implementation, whether they are a form of pressure, trial balloons to gauge international reactions, or genuinely serious.' Israel faces growing international isolation As the genocide and starvation war unfold in Gaza, major international powers are calling on Netanyahu's government to halt its hostilities against civilians and allow for food and aid entry to Gaza. Not only that, but a growing chorus of countries is considering endorsing Palestine's statehood during the upcoming 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, to be held in New York in September. The catastrophic, inhumane situation in Gaza has prompted major international powers to consider recognizing the statehood of Palestine, including France, the UK, and Canada. The decision follows a humanitarian perspective and through repeated references to a possible annexation of Palestinian territories, which political analysts describe as extremely worrying developments in the enclave.
