It's one of the reasons.

'That’s why the reports are mostly coming from Doctors and Journalists'

Doctors like Dr Maynard who dons a keffiyeh in one speech on X, Drs like Dr Smith who has an article published in Aljazeera? Journalists who also work for hamas. Reports from people like them?

@CyberStranger
I would expect a flood of SM pics of these children sufferings.
Really? You know that Israel destroyed the phone networks and internet so the only people with access to the internet are those that have extra money to pay for an eSIM and have the ability to charge their phones while living in tents with no electricity, no running water, no food and no toilets.

The people who are starving don’t have access to SM. 🫣
The people with money for food, access to electric and time to go on SM aren’t the ones starving.

That’s why the reports are mostly coming from Doctors and Journalists from inside field clinics and hospitals- the ones that aren’t murdered yet.

So still no evidence that NONE of the tens of thousands of children admitted to hospital for malnutrition in Gaza over the war have/had a pre-existing medical condition?

@Gloriia
Blame the terrorists who are nicking it, eating it and selling it. They don't care about their people suffering as some people in the West are happy to lap up all their 'blame Israel' PR.

You must mean the Shabab ‘terrorist’ gangs hired by Netanyahu to steal the aid? So you blame him and are saying he isn’t anyone influential in Israel at all then?

I am sure you aren’t referring to the desperate hungry people chasing down aid drops or massing around an a lorry with food?

Takes a while to starve a nation to death can't be done overnight, they had to destroy the bakeries, the water desalination plants, by November 2024 they had managed to kill 90% of the cows and 70% of the crops . Oh and shoot people going for aid might discourage them.

But I'm sure they will manage it soon.

@Gloriia
If Israel wanted to starve anyone to death this would have been over 2yrs ago.

Do you know how utterly uneducated and offensive this statement is?

If Israel wanted to starve anyone to death this would have been over 2yrs ago.

The facts speak for themselves.

UNWRA has not been allowed to bring any humanitarian aid into Gaza, including medicines and medical supplies, for more than five months now (since 2 March 2025).

As reported by OCHA, and according to the Nutrition Cluster, almost 13,000 new admissions of children for acute malnutrition treatment were recorded in July 2025: over 2,800 cases were found to be suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) (22 per cent). The most severe cases of children suffering from SAM with complications, who need to be hospitalized and treated in stabilization centres, have also increased, with 129 cases in July alone compared with 215 cases between January and June.

• UNRWA’s latest Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)-based findings show that malnutrition has reached 21.5 per cent in Gaza City, meaning nearly one in five young children is now malnourished.
• On 10 August, Save the Children stated that the reported death of 100 children due to starvation in Gaza since October 2023 is a “devastating milestone that shames the world and demands long overdue urgent action,” and highlighted the devastating, long-term health repercussions of acute malnutrition on children.
• With minimal food assistance, people in Gaza, particularly the most vulnerable, keep facing hunger and malnutrition, while having exhausted all coping mechanisms.

The health response in Gaza continues to face severe operational challenges, including extensive damage to health facilities, killing of medical workers, obstacles to safe movements within the Gaza Strip, and restrictions on the entry of medical supplies and critical fuel. This is forcing the few remaining hospitals to ration resources and/or suspend critical services.

• As also reported by OCHA, for over five months since 2 March, UNRWA’s primary healthcare services have been severely disrupted due to UNRWA’s inability to bring in lifesaving medicines and medical supplies, critical shortages of fuel, and obstacles to safe movements. At present, nearly 60 per cent of essential medicines (56 out of 95 items) are out of stock at these health facilities, including antihypertensive drugs, oral antibiotics for adults, antiparasitic products, and iron supplements for children, while 12 per cent (11 items) are only available to cover one month of needs. Moreover, over the past week, limited fuel supplies have forced some UNRWA health centres to operate one shift instead of two.
• Shortages of medicines, fuel and basic infection control materials are having devastating consequences for patient care. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) patients, including those with diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, are increasingly unable to access their prescribed treatment due to depleted stocks, which will have serious repercussions on their health.
• As reported by UNRWA Director of Health, due to the prolonged siege on aid and supplies, there is a critical shortage of life-saving medicines like insulin. People with type one diabetes, including children, in Gaza, need insulin every day to stay alive. Even when these become available, patients with diabetes are still at risk, as sometimes, insulin works too strongly, causing hypoglycemia, a drop in blood sugar that can lead to unconsciousness and even death. Yet with just a bit of sweet juice, candy, or sugar, it can easily be prevented or treated. However, shortages of basic supplies, including sugar, fruit, or exorbitant prices prevent stopping side effects of medications.
• UNRWA has reported a weekly average of 10,300 infectious diseases cases, which are on the rise due to overcrowding, poor sanitation conditions, and limited access to clean water. Between 4 and 10 August, 9,915 infectious diseases cases were detected, with acute respiratory infections and watery diarrhoea being the most reported diseases across all areas and a growing number of cases of acute bloody diarrhoea being observed, particularly in Al Mawasi area of Khan Younis. A total of 76 cases of Guillain Barre Syndrome were reported as of 7 August, with no medications available for treatment.
• UNRWA warns that without adequate medical supplies, primary healthcare response is undermined, leaving thousands of chronic disease patients and those suffering from communicable illnesses without life-saving support and heightening the risk of a large-scale public health crisis.

Children with medical conditions die first..
Exactly right.

Yes let’s be honest, it’s seems it is ok for Israel to starve babies and vulnerable children to death by barring the entry of infant formula and special foods but not ok to starve perfectly healthy children to death.

Why does it even matter?! These are still children that are being starved to death due to Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid that are entirely illegal and unwarranted.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel with the starving children conversation. Children with medical conditions die first.. you need to look at photographs in the context of all the reports from various sources about malnutrition. It’s not complicated. Even if you look at the meagre amounts of aid that GHF have themselves said they distributed. It’s obvious that starvation would be setting in.

I ageee @SummerFeverVenice . GHF were set up in combat zones. This is all very predictable .

The facts are not in doubt.

We know from GHF themselves that they are not providing enough food. Posters willing agree the loot is being looted by people- one has claimed over 90%

We know that Israel has had a blockades in place and in between times, the aid never returned to usual levels.

To be fair most posters have accepted that there must be hunger and indeed starvation.

It is shame that we have got stuck on one picture of a child with a medical condition. The fact is that the sums suggest feeding their children is likely to be “problem” for many families in Gaza.

It also begs the question of why there are no children without medical conditions displaying signs of starvation

Evidence please, given that 13,000 Gaza children were treated for malnutrition in the month of July 25 alone I don’t think anyone has gone through the tens of thousands of hospital admissions and checked whether all the children do or don’t have pre-existing medical conditions and found that 100% do. In addition, an important question is in those that do have a medical condition, it would be relevant to ascertain whether their medical condition(s) cause or contribute to malnutrition or are as a result of malnutrition itself or have no impact are not related at all.

edit: more dodgy internet = another duplicate post. Sorry!

No, I don’t know those specific babies but I can understand as someone who knows about breastfeeding or how formula feeding works to understand that a lack of aid would mean babies were undernourished. Again, how are mothers meant to get what they need to do one or both these things if GHF is run as it is.

Again, I think people use this to suggest that there is no starvation or that Israel have not played a significant role in reducing the amount of food in Gaza to a tiny amount. I think the more we focus on photos like this, the more we lose sight of the fact that these photos are one of many ways of knowing that the people in Gaza are not getting what they need. We can look at the before and after pictures of Gaza, the number of refugees, the way GHF runs, the fact they are living with terrorist, the reports from NGOs, reports from visiting doctors to know this is a real issue. If one needs to see starving people in photos to finally believe it, I think they’re ignoring a lot of evidence to fit the narrative they hope to be true.

Not intentionally, after all Biden didn’t intentionally spread propaganda when he repeated the 40 beheaded babies lie.

There isn’t anything wrong with questioning the story coming from a spokesperson who may not understand that no hospital in Gaza is fully functioning and most Palestinians who die of their injuries it is due to lack of functioning hospitals, lack of staff, lack of supplies and too many sick and injured.

I highly doubt the MSF has deliberately refused treatment based on their employer. It is more likely the daily outcome of too many wounded not nearly enough medical care to save everyone.

That said, it is IDF’s responsibility to keep GHF humanitarian workers safe from Hamas. Israel decided to setup the food distribution centres in combat zones, against the advice of all experts and even their GHF CEO resigned over it. Dead civilians and workers was 100% predicted and ignored. Furthermore, GHF should be transporting wounded Palestinian GHF workers into Israeli hospitals. So why is IDF transporting non Palestinian GHF workers to Israeli hospitals but dumping Palestinian GHF workers at partially destroyed, overwhelmed and barely functioning Gaza hospitals?

There must be more to the story.

@PinkBobby That's a lot of words to say you don't know anything about these babies, you have just trusted the source which is Sky news. They haven't provided any information on these babies at all, not their names, basic medical facts or even shown the rest of their body and faces.

If you are a stickler for people backing stuff up when they present it as fact then perhaps use the same high standards on yourself.

You were the one who said The two babies in the Sky article? after Cyberstranger commented that I have yet to see a report of a child without an underlying medical condition displaying signs of starvation.

Do you really consider the Sky article using a photo of 2 babies legs alone to be a proper report? You asked me a while back about the sources I use but Sky News is definitely not one I consider a good source - this particular story in particular.

@CrimsonGlaze

What's with the *ing out of Israel and genocide?

It's obvious it's their opinion which they later backed up by saying I have yet to see a report of a child without an underlying medical condition displaying signs of starvation.

They can't prove a negative but others may be able to prove that their opinion is wrong.

We’ve chatted on here enough for me to know that you really look into things and are very keen to find the truth, as I am. I mean this totally sincerely.

So when we then talk about uncovering the ‘truth’ as to why these children are so thin, is there not a whole load of non-photographic evidence that people are not getting the food they need in Gaza? Do we need to get into the reeds like this about a photo and distract from the main issue when we know there isn’t enough food? We know it’s been totally cut off and then a tiny amount is going in. We know that the aid hubs are not enough for that many people, we know that members of the Israeli government have called for this very situation. we know that numerous charities/NGOs have said it is desperate.

If this was the only info we had and it turned out to lack important context, I would totally understand the focus on it and it being central to the discussion but it isn’t all we have to go from. It is merely a distraction from the most important issue which is that more needs to be done to feed these people.

I’m sure you know by now that I am a stickler for people backing stuff up when they present it as fact and I really do agree that journalists need to be really mindful of what imagery they are using especially after the last few weeks but I have seen so many of these chats take over discussions like we’re uncovering some great conspiracy. Meanwhile, people aren’t getting the help they need.

Fair enough but that was after I posted looking for proof of the earlier statement.
