Why aren't the UN moving it? We're told they have distribution sites and infrastructure.

That, and, putting their own workers at risk of being killed is a tough ask.

I can’t imagine they are sitting on it deliberately when their own Aid workers are also unable to access food.

Why have you such an issue with a thread lookin at ways to help with the situation for starving children in Gaza? Why do you want us to turn away from this humanitarian disaster?

Show quote history

This. It is absolutely frightening how people can be so cold and unfeeling when they see children deliberately being starved to death. You are allowed to have empathy towards more than one group of people, you know.

Thanks OP for this thread.
Just for any Irish posters the link below is for a petition for Trocaire. They will bulk email TD's regarding the Occupied Territories Bill.

Time’s up – pass the Occupied Territories Bill! - Trócaire

Yes me. I'm disabled so can't go on marches. I feel impotent and despairing at what is happening.
I hope this thread does not get (deliberately) derailed and removed

Rallentanda · 24/07/2025 12:51

Thanks for this OP. People are being actively starved and murdered. I cannot believe the points scoring on this thread. I'd say 'shame on you' but I know it's landing on deaf ears. I doubt if there is a single person who wouldn't also want Hamas to free the hostages and for a peaceful solution to have been found and actioned, without either side resorting to attacks on the other.

Kakeandkake · 24/07/2025 12:46

Thank you for this thread and the links OP.

quantumbutterfly · 24/07/2025 12:31

Perhaps we could petition the UN to distribute the aid that apparently is already in Gaza. That would help.

Could you point me to the thread with the petitions about stopping arms sales to Saudi Arabia, worth over 8.2 billion in the last 10 years, used to create the world's largest humanitarian disaster?

Dwarfing arms exports (mainly components) to Israel which accounted for less tham 1% of Israel's arms imports and subsequently much less, most of which are now suspended.

Thank you op for this thread with practical suggestions on what people can do.

It is depressing that people have come to point score and demonstrate zero humanity for children starving

FriggingInsomnia · 24/07/2025 02:55

How about asking https://x.com/UNLazzarini why thousands of tonnes of aid is rotting in Gaza because the UN won’t move it?

Thanks OP, good idea

WoodlandLove · 24/07/2025 03:45

Thank you so much OP. I do indeed feel helpless most of the time.

Or they could release the hostages….

How are the women and children desperate for food meant to achieve that?

If I sign this will Hamas release the hostages and stop firing rockets on innocent Israeli civilians?

Thank you very much, op. Will sign.

My heart is truly with the victims of this appalling genocide. genocide

I wish for there to be miracles and for someone in the IDF to do some good where they can.
