Resisting forced starvation and territory grabs through food sovereignty efforts in Gaza

Undermining the ability of Palestinians to feed themselves is central to the genocide underway in the Gaza Strip, resulting in mass famine and forced starvation. Israel is achieving this aim through territory grabbing across Gaza's farmlands and fisheries on one side, and through control and weaponization of humanitarian aid on the other. Food sovereignty could not be more relevant here – to save lives, and as a political project to resist land and water grabs. This article highlights food sovereignty efforts in Gaza from the perspectives of Palestinian grassroots organizers working in unfathomable conditions to resist the erasure of their people.
