As Israel's attack on Iran overshadows Israel's ongoing assault on the region, we speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha on the deepening crisis in his home of the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of starving, desperate civilians have been killed and wounded while attempting to access critical aid. Witnesses have described massacres committed by Israeli soldiers and U.S. security contractors at U.S.- and Israeli-backed aid sites that are the only officially sanctioned sources of food, water and medicine entering the Gaza Strip. "People have to go to these so-called distribution sites, and they know they will be killed," says Abu Toha. "Israel is not letting anyone survive, not in Gaza, not in Iran, not in Syria, not in Lebanon."
