Israel has said it will keep blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, as it vowed to force Hamas into releasing the remaining hostages from the 7 October attacks.

Aid supplies including food, fuel, water and medicine have been blocked by Israel from entering Gaza since 2 March, more than two weeks before the collapse of the ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group with a return to air and ground attacks on the territory.

The medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières said on Wednesday that Gaza was becoming a “mass grave for Palestinians”.

The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said: “Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population.”

Everyone was rightly furious at the treatment of Jewish, Romanian, disabled folk, and queer folks, amongst others at the hands of the nazis.

Time has shown that they only cared about one of those groups. I doubt the average American knows that queer and disabled people were sent to the camps, and I'm sure they only know Romani by their slur name

I can't speak for the Americans but as a Canadian I educated myself, while the murder of the other groups was mentioned, the biggest focus was on Jewish people being killed.
