An excerpt from the Adjournment speech delivered by Green Party Senator Lee Rhiannon in Parliament on Tuesday 8 August. This segment of the speech has a focus on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.

" Two million Palestinians are being held hostage in this dirty form of warfare. Under the Fourth Geneva Convention, an occupying power must respect the fundamental human rights of a territory's inhabitants and ensure sufficient hygiene and public health standards, as well as the provision of food and medical care, to the population under occupation. According to the United Nations, regardless of the 2005 so-called withdrawal and the Egyptian-controlled Rafah border, Gaza is considered occupied by Israel."
