The Arab Democratic Nasserist Party has called on the Arab people to go on a hunger strike under the banner of "We feel your pain and hunger", to champion the people of Gaza against the starvation war tactic the Israeli occupation is actively imposing in its military offensive on the Strip. 

The strike coincided with a solidarity sit-in at the Nasserist Party headquarters. 

On her part, the media secretary of the party in Cairo, Karima al-Ruby, affirmed to Al Mayadeen that the "24-hour hunger strike aims at highlighting the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza, and their struggle against the war of starvation imposed by the Israeli occupation on the Strip."

Al-Ruby also noted that the Egyptian people "are demanding the opening of the Rafah Crossing and the delivery of aid into Gaza, and they are ready to volunteer to bring this aid and accompany trucks into the Strip." The Nasserist Party has made the same call as well.

The party called on the masses to respond to the strike and sit-in, to deliver a message of solidarity that shows they "feel the pain of our brothers and sisters and share their hunger.” It also called on the Arab regimes to take action to stop the killing and starvation in Gaza.

I would like to urge everyone to look up the true causes of the great Irish famine… and then watch this video!

Brown University students on hunger strike in support of Palestine

In similar solidarity, a coalition of students at Brown University in Rhode Island went on an indefinite hunger strike a few weeks ago in protest of "Israel’s" genocide in Gaza, calling on the university to cut ties with all companies profiting from the ongoing genocide.

The group released a statement stressing that they would keep up their hunger strike until the university did its part to promote an “immediate and permanent” ceasefire, also demanding that the university implement a divestment resolution at the next meeting of its governing body on February 8 and 9.

"Given the escalating violence in Gaza, this hunger strike emphasizes the urgency of passing a divestment resolution in this meeting rather than delaying the process any further," the students stated.

"Israel" deliberately starving Gazans

According to famine expert and executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University, Alex de Waal, “It is not possible to create a famine by accident."

In an interview with Nermeen Shaikh of Democracy Now!, the expert explained that a famine in the besieged strip was "inevitable" since "Israel" has intentionally starved Gazans as a means of mass punishment.

UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food Michael Fakhri warned on social media in December that "Israel" is intentionally starving Gazans and destroying its food system, describing the occupation's deliberate starvation of Palestinians as "unprecedented".

In the second half of January, OCHA revealed that deliveries to northern and central Gaza were deliberately and increasingly denied by the Israeli occupation, in addition to the heightened aggression in central Gaza.
