Journalist and author Sakina Datoo describes Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe as an unprecedented tragedy, condemning the international community’s continued inaction as displaced Palestinians face yet another winter without adequate shelter.
“Gaza is a deep wound really on our hearts,” she said in a Monday interview with Press TV, stressing that the world must not become desensitised to images of Palestinian suffering or turn a blind eye to the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
Datoo warns that the devastation in Gaza threatens to extend far beyond the besieged territory, arguing that Israel’s expansionist ambitions pose a broader threat to regional stability.
Maintaining that Palestine remains central to the wider resistance movement, she calls for international mobilisation against Israel’s continued oppression of Palestinians. “If we don't fix Gaza, and if we don't fix Palestine, we are all going to be drowned in the same flood,” she warned.
She also denounced the failure of international mediators and the hypocrisy of Arab and Muslim governments, accusing them of abandoning Palestinians despite their humanitarian, political and religious responsibilities.
Questioning the credibility of ceasefire efforts that have failed to secure even basic necessities for Gaza’s population, the commentator argued that those enabling or tolerating the crisis cannot be expected to resolve it. She maintained that Palestinian liberation ultimately depends on the resistance and sustained international solidarity.
