Famine in Gaza as children denied nourishing food supplements

[bannork]

Famine is taking place in Gaza - just a short drive away from hundreds of trucks of aid sitting idly outside its borders.

 

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), backed by the United Nations, is the world's leading hunger monitor. Its assessment that half a million people – a quarter of Palestinians in Gaza – are suffering from famine is shocking for many reasons.

 

Primary among them is the report's acknowledgement that this situation is "entirely man-made", with aid organisations today accusing Israel of the "systematic obstruction" of food entering the Gaza Strip.

The IPC report says that it has found that people living in the Gaza City area are experiencing famine conditions of "starvation, destitution, and death".

 

It also finds that starvation is spreading rapidly – with famine expected to be in much of the rest of Gaza in September, on current trends.

 

The report has reached its conclusion via three key indicators:

Starvation: At least 1 in 5 households face an extreme shortage in their consumption of food

Malnutrition: Roughly 1 in 3 children or more are acutely malnourished

Mortality: At least 2 in every 10,000 people are dying daily because of outright starvation or the combination of malnutrition and disease

When two of these three "thresholds" are met, the IPC recognises that famine is taking place.

The organisations say what's needed is 600 trucks a day bringing goods into Gaza for people to meet their basic needs – currently no more than half of that is being allowed in.

 

Israel's accusation that Hamas is responsible for the hunger crisis has also been criticised. Multiple reports, including an internal US government report, found there is no evidence of systematic diversion of aid by Hamas.

 

There is indeed widespread looting of trucks entering Gaza – but aid agencies say most of the looting is by crowds of desperate Palestinians and some organised groups trying to make a resale profit.

Ultimately, aid agencies have been repeating for months that in order to avert starvation and famine, Gaza needs to be flooded with aid entering by road and currently Israel still imposes restrictions.

 

[bannork]

In the four weeks since Jordan resumed humanitarian drops – supported by France, Germany, the UAE, the Netherlands and Singapore – they have delivered 785 tonnes of aid. But this would have been enough to feed half the 2.1 million population of Gaza for a single day.

 

Each drop costs £24,000, compared with £720 for a Cairo-Gaza lorry, which carries double the aid, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

 

 Juliette Touma, director of communications for Unrwa, the UN’s relief agency in Palestine, speaking to The Observer. “In Gaza, there is a very easy and obvious alternative, and that is sending aid via the road.”

Many of those living in Gaza are too weak to run the gauntlet of retrieving the aid. The young and strong snatch the boxes from the pallets first, meaning the elderly, disabled and children often go without. Some pallets land in the sea, while Gaza’s government media office said at least 23 people have been killed and 124 wounded by aid air drops.

 

Meanwhile, 5,000 lorries sit waiting at the Rafah border crossing in Egypt. Drivers complain that only between 15 and 20 make it into the Strip each day.

 

Once inside, Touma say that the vast majority is being looted by desperate people, as there is no infrastructure for delivery. If the UN was given the ability to work without restrictions imposed by Israel after the ceasefire broke down in March, Touma believes the UN could deliver 6,000 lorries of aid in two weeks.

I support humanity. 🙂 

 

Many jews abhor what the Israeli Jewry is doing (A litany of war crimes and crimes against humanity, as charged by the ICC). They seem okay (ish) 🙂  

 

 

You're happy with Palestinians likely growing up to be terrorists in other countries, in your mind, that will likely perform terror attacks on Israel and Jews?  

 

   You support a group holding children's corpses as hostages , that isn't humane , you support war criminals 

They will grow up wanting to attack Jews and Israel anyway , better they do it from a distance .

Hamas Propaganda at it's best. Taking the food away from there own people and then blaming Israel. And they allways find willing idiots to spead the lies.

And i wonder, there are at least half a dozen of trouble spots around the globe where people are being massacred, tortured and starved on a large scale some, Muslims like in Darfur, yet, not a peep is heard from all those israel bashares in this forum, Why? are those lives not as valuble as those in Gaza? are the dying children in those places not as precious to thier families as those in Gaza?

or maybe, just mabe, Jews are involved in Gaza, and jews' as we know' are responssible for all the ills of this world, and what better chance to reignite the hatred for jews a-la 1940 style, than this opperunity?

Israelis are supposed to be civilised, not the kind of people who let innocents be bombed or starved to death.

In Sudan both sides have committed atrocities, plus Westerners have little knowledge or affinity with the warring factions.

Guess who is running US policy regarding medical care of innocent victims in Gaza?

 

Laura Loomer. She advised Trump to halt assistance. He obeyed his new master.

 

There was a day when the United States at least pretended to stand for something noble and decent. Those days are gone.

There are no innocent victims in Gaza. There were no innocent National socialists and germans, there were no innocent japanese. Until the white flag is flown, all must die. Don't start wars.

Virtue signal? No, I do something anathema to MAGAnistas: I live a life where I try to add some good to the world, because I feel it is a responsibility of those who ‘somehow’ benefited greatly from an accident of birth.

 

I have given away more money that you will make in ten lifetimes. Unlike your messiah, I wasn’t handed hundreds of millions from a successful father. I built my own wealth. I can say this, because I am anonymous. Nobody could pick me out of a crowd of 2. Maybe you’d know I’m not MAGA, because I’m quite fit. No, I’m not Bill Gates, but I earned more money than 99.999% of the 8.5 billion people walking the planet today, and I believe that comes with a responsibility.

 

Let me explain how non-MAGAs act.

 

I chose some poor areas of the world, where the folks were not born as lucky. I built schools. I built electric grids. I put in sewer systems, because even kids were walking barefoot in excrement. I provided medical care and dental care. I bought food for those who needed it. I bought clothes. I bought books for the kids to go to school, and the top students I sent to major cities in their countries to study in boarding schools. I funded everything out of my own pocket, accepting no donations, because donations often come with political or religious views. My goal was just to try to level the playing field.

 

Unlike MAGAs, who think even infants are guilty because they are the same ethnicity as vile terrorists like Hamas, I know the difference between innocent and guilty. I am disgusted by the callousness of people who think the kids somehow deserve their suffering because of their race. That is the very definition of racist, and it is quite apparent in this thread. It’s appalling, but very very MAGA.

 

So you will take this as a kind of virtue signaling. Up to you, if that makes you feel better about your own life, which I suspect offered nothing to anyone in need ever. You might even think you are solely responsible for whatever comfort you might experience. You are not. You were just born lucky.

 

The children in Gaza were not born lucky. They are not guilty. They are being slaughtered and people like you are okay with that. There’s no room for decency nor morality in MAGAstan. MAGA exists as yet another reminder of the evil inherent in so many humans, but everywhere decent people will rise up to toss that vile ideology into the dustbin of history.

 

Yes you are virtue signaling.  If you really cared you would fly to Gaza an help out.

 

virtue signaling

noun

 

the act or practice of conspicuously displaying one's awareness of and attentiveness to political issues, matters of social and racial justice, etc., especially instead of taking effective action

   I do disagree .'

They are one of the world most protected and privileged people .

The World just shrugs its shoulders when there's real genocide in places like Myanmar, China, Yemen , Rwanda and other places  .

   No one bats an eyelid when there's genuine starvation in Yemen , 130 000 people deid from starvation and no ones bothered .

   Yet the Whole World seems to be bending over backwards to make sure Palestinians don't miss a meal .

   They get given Billions of dollars every year free money from Muslim Countries .

   Palestinians are the Worlds chosen people .

Privileged and protected .

Gazian Children were born lucky , Gazian elders have taken away all that luck bestowed upon them

''Israelis are supposed to be civilised'' as opposed to whom? the barberian and terrorists Palestinians' who kill, burn, rape, kidnup women and babies? But I know, no convicing the blind and the deaf, they need to hate somebody in order to feel good abut themselves,
