Israel largely shut off entry of food, water, medicine and other supplies after launching its assault on Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel — allowing only a trickle of aid trucks through two crossings in the south.
After months of warnings over the risk of famine in Gaza under Israel’s bombardment, offensives and siege, children are starting to die.
The ultimate, intended outcome of Israel’s humanitarian blockade of Gaza is beginning.
It’s hard to imagine what it feels like to watch your newborn baby starve to death.
It’s hard to imagine the desperation, the sorrow, the helplessness.
It’s hard to imagine the rage, the impotence, the desire for justice and revenge.
Its hard to imagine that Hamas will ever run out of new recruits.
That’s my take away from this. Living in that circumstance, it becomes more about whoever will give you a weapon to fight your oppressors than it does fighting for any one ideological goal.

It’s easy if you try.
Begin? My brother in Christ, they’ve been dying for the last 75 years.
I didn’t write the headline.
If you’re referring to my comment, that is only in reference to the current aid blockage being intended to bring about a famine.
The famine is now much worse it seems, so it’s not wrong to refer to it as recent development in the headline of a news article.
Speaking of which, the headline currently reads:
It’s not just Israeli bombs that have killed children in Gaza. Now some are dying of hunger too
Which is different from the post’s title. Did the headline change, or did you editorialize?
They changed the headline. I copied the original verbatim.
I almost screamed at my phone when I read that
I was listening on the radio about this new aid boat, they’re trying to work out how to do it because people are so hungry and desperate that they will drown trying to be the first to the boat.
