"Unending Misery": Journalist Abubaker Abed Reports from Gaza as Israel Weighs Broader Invasion

[Uncle Joe]

We go to Gaza for a report on the brutal conditions of Israel's genocide of Palestinians from Abubaker Abed, a 22-year-old journalist who has recently been diagnosed with malnutrition as a result of Israel's total siege of the Gaza Strip. "It's unending misery," says Abed. "We're here stranded. We're seeing the systematic killing of everyone, as Israel is targeting every single one here in Gaza." In the week since Israel's abrupt desertion of its ceasefire agreement, says Abed, the total suffering in Gaza "is much worse than ever before." He pleads for international intervention and accountability. "As long as the world allows Israel to do so, this will not stop."
