‘We are dying slowly:’ Palestinians are eating grass and drinking polluted water as famine looms across Gaza

As a parent the idea of not being able to obtain food for my child is literally a worst nightmare.

The IPC, (the people responsible for tracking and declaring famines), have released a report saying this is going to get very bad very quickly if aid isn't allowed in.

This is entirely avoidable and creating a famine is not in anyone's textbook of legitimate military strategies.

USA, how long does this need to go on? Until genocide is completed? This is horrific.

Dying implies this is happening passively… they are being killed

Holodomor 2.0

Of the around 600,000 people facing starvation across the globe, 95% are now in Gaza

according to figures from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, a consortium of U.N. agencies and nonprofit relief groups. The figures, which the group says are their best assessment of the current situation, show that the rest live in South Sudan, which has been riven by a brutal civil war since spring 2023.

Public opinion is definitely skewing more towards Palestine, at least here in Britain. Where I live, I genuinely saw a pro-Palestine march back in October attended by thousands, along with Palestinian flags waved everywhere around town. Haven't seen any Israeli flags or marchers by comparison, and I don't think that's out of fear.

The only people I've seen genuinely throw support towards Israel have been Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.

It was clear that this is how it's going to go, Israel planned this. The deliberatley destroyed all the infrastructure and sealed them in. I knew the body count would rise to possibly a million. It is a genocide.

Presumably Israel hopes to push the Palestinians out to Egypt or other countries. That is Israel's "Final Solution".

My european country supports this genocide by backing Israel. I feel deeply ashamed.

Apparently, someone doesn’t want this article posted. Read it to find out why:

GAZA: A GHASTLY WINDOW INTO THE CRISIS OF GLOBAL CAPITALISM.

In addition to the increased tax burden and European agriculture policies that they say are threatening their ability to survive, the French farmers also want more concessions from the government to combat rising costs of fuel and animal feed.

There it is. Welfare for business owners.

edit: nice, I commented on the wrong post. The confusion is impressive.

And since nobody mentioned it, they're to blame too. It means none of them read the article and figured out that the quoted part above is from a different post entirely.

Food aid does reach Gaza, but Hamas steals it all.

Seems to be a humanitarian crisis of their own doing....

Imagine if all their concrete and rebar had gone to actual humanitarian projects instead of tunnels and bases to conduct terrorism from...
