Asmaa Ashraf explains the concept of ecocide in the context of the genocide in Gaza. Asmaa explores how the systematic targeting of essential infrastructure, farms, and ecosystems not only devastates the region's natural environment but also perpetuates a cycle of suffering and displacement. Drawing comparisons to past examples like the U.S. wars in Vietnam and Iraq, Asmaa explains why understanding ecocide is crucial to grasp the full impact of the violence and its long-term effects on life and survival in Gaza. There cannot be climate justice without the liberation of Palestine.
