Rescue and relief workers seeking access to some of the worst quake-hit areas are being blocked by the military.
I mentioned about 'weaponising aid' during my interview with BBC Radio Wales on 31 March. Here is the evidence that is being produced 3 days later ⤵️
I'm not shocked but it is deeply disturbing.

More than 50,000 killed in Gaza, Hamas-run health ministry says
That toll equates to about 2.1% of the 2.3 million population of the territory - or around 1 in 50 people.
More than 50,000 killed in Gaza......⤵️💔😠🤲
- WHY kill 50000 people?
- What has been achieved?
- What will be achieved?
Please STOP🛑
No rhetoric will JUSTIFY killing children, elderly, and innocent civilians, neither it'll achieve anything 🙏
