Malnourished starving children in Gaza

'A British doctor who has worked in Gaza has said that his colleagues have been prevented from taking baby formula into hospital.

Professor Nick Maynard, a volunteer surgeon at Nasser hospital, told Good Morning Britain on Friday (25) that he has seen "appalling malnutrition.”

"If you go through a checkpoint, you get searched as a doctor and if you've got any baby formula in your pockets or in your bag, [Israeli officials] will confiscate it from you," he said.'

@Letstheriveranswer sure. Israel is completely innocent and this is Hamas. I agree it doesn't matter to to people who are starving which side is overall responsible for starving them. And right now that doesn't matter, they just desperately need aid. But Israel is stopping aid entering. Israel is stopping independent journalists entering. Israel is pushing more illegal settlements. Israel destroyed their homes. Israel displaced people. Israel killed has been killing a large number of unarmed civilians. Israel is suggesting a concentration camp of 600,000 people, initially, that can never leave. Israel is suggesting that the rest of the world evacuate the entire population of Gaza if they don't like how Israel is treating (murdering and starving) them. Israeli leaders are wanted for war crimes. 1200 dead was wrong, and it should not have happened. 240 hostages was wrong, and it should not have happened. But 59,000 and counting is way worse. You have got your your revenge. It's long past time to stop now.

But if you are going to claim that any criticism is anti-semitic in order to immediately shut down any debate then you are a perfectly example of why many people fear and distrust Israel.

The food is actually sitting inside Gaza but the problem seems to be in distributing it...people are desperate and start looting, it's not safe for lorry drivers to drive it in, Hamas attacks people trying to get aid and if anyone gets shot in the violent chaos Israel get blamed, so they want the UN to take responsibility for getting it to distribution centres but the UN are refusing.

Hamas are obstructing everything because they want to deliver it but then they steal it and sell it at high prices.

There are plenty of videos from inside Gaza of people clearly stating that Hamas are fully responsible for their misery.

It's very complex and the situation is catastrophic.

Having said that, there has been so much use of AI imaging and pictures from other conflicts and attributed to being pics from Gaza, that it's hard to know what is and isn't truth. Plus all the previous times we were told there was famine, and there wasn't, and even the UN finally admitted there wasn't. When the hostages were released every single man (not many women were out) in the Gazan crowds looked very well fed, clean and with fresh haircuts - and that was after we were previously told there was famine.

I hope it all ends soon.

Meanwhile I will wait for this thread to go down the inevitable route....

You are just riding on semantics here and twisting my words.
Then let’s call it hostile territory instead of enemy for your sake, so even you can understand what I’m trying to get across.

I'm still waiting to see a photo of a "starving" Gazan which isn't:
AI generated (yes, we can tell).
Photoshopped.
More than one person in frame and/or
in the photo with well-fed-looking people.

I feel absolutely helpless, and absolutely sick of people continuing to blame Hamas.

It's not a famine. It's a genocide. Keep saying it.

This is one of the most insane comments I think I’ve read on mn. Such a bizarre thing to say given the images that are in the press. I don’t know what you’ve seen @Alltheprettyseahorses but it’s clearly not what the rest of us are seeing. I think if you have nothing of note to share or any rational perspectives there’s not much point in commenting!

So you are saying that Israel consider the people of Gaza its enemies. I thought it was only Hamas?

Hamas knew that there would be a military response to October 7 and that this was the likely outcome. So I wonder why they did it?

Show me another country that actually feeds their enemy. This is what Israel is doing. They actually let food into Gaza. It’s another matter that Hamas won’t distribute it and it’s rotting away under the hot sun. It is all over the media, please take the time and effort and check it out.
Nobody is saying that the Gazans are eating lobster, caviar and wagyu beef. But to blatantly point the finger at Israel when they actually let the food in is just plain stupid.
I’m sick and tired of all the Palestinian supporters spreading this blatant lie (prompted by Al Jazeera and the likes of it) and participating in a smear campaign against Israel. Then they come onto this site and they make it a race to the bottom about who can cry more into their Kleenex about the starving children of Gaza, for fuxake!

I don’t see Russia feeding Ukraine….

I think the Gaza situation is shocking, same as I do Yemen and Somalia.

But. Uniquely, Gaza has the ability to end all this today. You’re going to tell me they’re all powerless to do so. But I also recognise that the Gazan people have missed many opportunities to stop this madness but, for various reasons, haven’t. Hamas still enjoy wide support in Gaza.

And be reminded that some of the strongest defences against Gaza are on the Egyptian border. And you’ll note none of the Islamic world, with the exception of the militias of Yemen who aren’t starving, are supporting Gaza.

Hamas are facilitating this starvation (again, with the caveats of how much we can believe coming out of Gaza, with plump women holding skeletal babies…). Our anguish cannot stop this; but Hamas can.

No one seems particularly bothered about the starving children in Yemen....

I was being polite when I said the mothers weren't malnourished by the way. Nor are the fathers. I'm.not into fatshaming so I won't say any more.
