🚨 Her body could no longer endure
Her name was Raheel Mohammad Rasras.
She was 32 years old.
She lived in Gaza.
She weighed 50 kilograms — around 110 pounds — just months ago.
Today, she weighed half that.
Just 25 kilograms.
Just 55 pounds.
And she died.
Not because of cancer.
Not because of wounds.
Not because of natural causes.
She died from starvation.
She died because her body could no longer endure the siege.
This is what happens when you weaponize food.
📹 The video of Raheel was filmed by Palestinian journalist Mohammad Salama
We honor him for witnessing and sharing this, even as the world looks away.
And we honor Raheel by saying her name, sharing her face, and refusing to treat her as collateral damage.
She is not a number.
She is not a statistic.
She was a daughter. A woman. A life.
And the siege took her.
🍞 This is not accidental. This is policy.
Raheel is not dead because Gaza ran out of food.
She is dead because Israel is blocking food from entering Gaza.
Because the United States continues to send weapons, funding, and political cover to enforce that blockade.
Tons of food sit just beyond the gates.
Flour. Rice. Protein. Formula. Medicine.
But it doesn’t reach people like Raheel.
It doesn't reach the starving.
And it doesn’t reach them on purpose.
📜 This is a war crime
Under international law — the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute of the ICC — starving civilians as a method of warfare is a prosecutable war crime.
Collective punishment is explicitly forbidden.
Targeting women and the vulnerable violates every humanitarian standard.
But it continues.
And today, Raheel joined the list of those murdered by hunger.
✊🏽 This platform exists to say her name
You won’t hear Raheel’s name on the news tonight. WHY NOT????
You won’t see her face in any major newspaper.
You won’t hear a single U.S. politician speak her name.
But here, we will say it.
Here, we will carry her. By we, I mean me and you.
