Gaza is dying of hunger

They died of hunger... This is the situation of the people in Gaza. A difficult situation, an impossible life amidst the absence of everything and under the continuous bombing of displacement camps and shelters.


Death by starvation is caused by food and medicine shortages, the ongoing brutal blockade, the ban on the entry of food and medicine, the scarcity of food and baby formula, and the spread of disease. All of this is happening before the eyes of the world, which is content to watch as people die in Gaza, without taking any action to save them. Amidst unprecedented international silence, there is no serious will to stop the genocide and punish the perpetrators who continue to commit massacres, impose the blockade with all the tools of racism and terrorism, and do not respond to calls demanding the urgent entry of aid. The reason for this is the persistence of killing and the rising number of martyrs. Those who do not die from bombing are dying of hunger and thirst.

A racist policy pursued by the occupation, and internationally prohibited measures. In all wars, there is a safe space for civilians, which international institutions are obligated to secure, in accordance with international law and international conventions. However, in this genocide, the occupation has exceeded all international and UN prohibitions, bombing Red Cross institutions, UNRWA offices, and ambulances, as well as hospitals and Red Crescent centers. In the face of this, the world has also remained silent and has not acted in accordance with its laws. As the genocide continues, international institutions have begun to meet in a timid manner, without any real value or serious positions to stop the series of crimes and ethnic cleansing.

Little Janan died of starvation yesterday, bringing the number of children who have died of starvation to nearly fifty. They all died from lack of food and water. Their bodies could not bear the pain of empty stomachs, and the world, standing by on the sidelines, did them no justice by providing them with food and water, so they starved to death.

Is there anything worse than starving to death?!!

What is happening in Gaza is not just a humanitarian crisis; it is a stain on the entire world's brow, which stands by as the children of Gaza's stomachs are empty and their tongues cry, "I am hungry." It is yet another chapter in the genocide being perpetrated in full view of everyone, yet there is no serious action, not even an attempt to save innocent lives that are helpless and without guilt.

Starving people is part of the policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide practiced by the occupying government against the people of Gaza. This policy aims to push people to continue migrating. This racist government leaves them no chance of survival, presenting them with three options: death by bombing, death by starvation, or departure. How long will the world remain a spectator to this happening? When will it intervene to save the people exhausted by death, displacement, hunger, and bombing?
