As images of emaciated children and starving people emerge from Gaza, global attention is slowly turning to a disaster that is neither accidental nor new. This emergency webinar will examine the scale and depth of the Israeli-engineered famine in Gaza—its roots in the ongoing genocide, years of siege, and systematic deprivation—and its devastating impact on the physical and mental health of Palestinians, particularly children, both now and for years to come. Our speakers will discuss how this famine is being experienced on the ground, how it was made possible, and what must happen now to address both the immediate humanitarian crisis and its long-term consequences for future generations. Featuring: Bushra Khalidi is the Palestinian Territory Policy Lead at Oxfam and a seasoned humanitarian policy expert specializing in protection, humanitarian access, and accountability under international law. Yara M. Asi, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Central Florida in the School of Global Health Management and Informatics. Layth Malhis is a graduate student at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University and a volunteer with the Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS) in Washington, DC.
