Article by Yara M. Asi arguing that the term "humanitarian," referencing the brief cessation of hostilities in the war on Gaza (from November 24 - December 1, 2023) referred to as a “humanitarian pause,” is being abused when describing Israel’s actions in Gaza. Asi argues that this exploitation of humanitarianism whitewashes Israel’s ongoing violations of international law and war crimes in the Gaza Strip. This piece is helpful for insight into the Gaza genocide, humanitarian crises, Gaza ceasefire, and the blockade and siege of Gaza.
