Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday accused Israel of standing in clear violation of the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act by creating the conditions for mass starvation within the Gaza Strip as he called on the Biden administration to halt all military aid to the country until Palestinians are granted the life-saving humanitarian relief they urgently need.'Starvation is taking place in Gaza,' Sanders said in a statement.
'On Sunday, as Common Dreams reported, UNICEF issued a warning to the world that ten child deaths from starvation had already been documented, that others had likely occurred, and many more should be expected if conditions on the ground were not immediately addressed.'Horrific reports confirmed that, over the last few days only, at least 10 children died of malnutrition in Gaza,' the agency said. 'These deaths are man-made, predictable, and entirely preventable.
