“According to the most respected measure of these things, 100 percent of the population in Gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. That’s the first time an entire population has been so classified,” Blinken told a press conference in the Philippines, where he is on an official visit.
After reading the report the situation is not a bad as I thought. I heard somewhere all the food trucks were being blocked and the only food that was coming in was being dropped via air.
I wonder how you would feel if you, your wife and your kids were all starving and you were failing to provide enough food for them on the table.
Or think of all those parents with newborn babies forced to live in makeshift tents in unsanitary conditions without access to even basic medicine, or pre-milk. I am sure their child mortality rate has skyrocketed.
And guess where there were 100% acute malnutrition. Concentration camps! It seems we have learned nothing from the history books and still in the 21st century we allow this to happen.
My comment only states that I thought the conditions were worse. Nowhere do I say the conditions aren’t extremely dire or bad. Ive read news that food trucks are being stopped for weeks and weeks i thought food had run out a long time ago. My feelings in that situation are irrelevant.
They’re getting barely a fith of the aid they were pre Oct 7 and it’s not like they were eating good before. I’m surprised the starvation deaths aren’t in the 10s of thousands
It very well might be soon unless Israel is stopped. The water crisis is even worse.
That’s insane, especially in a place like gaza.
It’s been a deliberate part of the occupation since 1967. You can learn more at B’TSelem
