My question is to Minister Wong. Overnight, all members of the UN Security Council except Trump's America backed the IPC's declaration that the famine in Gaza is man made, with half a million people at risk of starvation. By blocking food and aid, Israel has engineered a famine of a scale, pace and severity not seen before, to kill Palestinians. More than 2,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's deathtraps while seeking food. More than 300 have been starved to death. Starvation is designed to maximise suffering and is a most barbaric way to kill. Minister, all your words, outrage, statements and letters have done nothing to stop Israel's genocide and starvation. When will you impose meaningful sanctions on Israel to force them to end this starvation and open up all borders for aid?
