Where is help for suffering in Gaza?

Disgusted and heartbroken, I ask: Where is the global response with humanitarian aid for the civilians of Gaza without power, water, food? What about the human beings from children to elderly in hospitals, perishing right now because the generators have expired? It's a death sentence that feels like history repeating itself. In part because the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, has not been applied to these humans in 2003. “The last thing the international community would want to do is to be outraged at atrocities committed in Israel … only to allow or enable atrocities in Gaza,” Khaled Elgindy shared with the BBC.
