The struggle to get food in Gaza

So the fact that Keir Starmer looks well fed means we don't have food banks in the UK?

There is no justification for causing civilians to starve to death. Getting food supplies to these people ought to be easy. It is being prevented, and that is a crime against humanity and against God (who the Israeli government purport to believe in). The "leadership" of both sides are no better than each other.

Probably, but begs the question as to why Gaza city is being targeted with a complete siege of no food, water, medicine and now a ground assault with tanks as another “stronghold of Hamas” when its leaders aren’t even in Gaza?

Most of the current leadership of Hamas live in Qatar and Turkey, so I suspect they continue to eat well.

It’s a deflection from talking about the food shortages and suffering in Gaza.

There’s nothing in the original article apportioning for the difficulties- it’s just an account of a family trying to get food for a day.

Many looked healthy in July 2023!

For corpses .
Did you see the date on the article.

I think all those men are dead. Is there luxury in hell?

Somehow I don’t think the Hamas leadership got rich peddling folic acid and other vitamins to pregnant women. Its worth pennies but can prevent such awful present and future suffering.

There needs to be a ceasefire so that urgent aid can get through. For the sake of the hostages too.

“Malnutrition is high among pregnant and breastfeeding women, leading to increased pregnancy complications. Folic acid, multivitamins, and other crucial supplements are on the verge of disappearing. In February, at least one in five newborns were born with complications, including low birth weight, requiring advanced medical care that is now increasingly unavailable. Portable incubators, ultrasound devices, and oxygen pumps, among other essential equipment, are now stalled at the border.“

And yet the Hamas leadership looks to be in remarkably good health. Funny that.

For the want of simple vitamins such as folic acid, babies are being born with deformities- and this does not include the underweight babies being born noted in the article above.

Thanks for posting.

I have also read about children with lack of access to fruit and protein, causing malnutrition.

"We haven't eaten any protein for five months. My youngest child is four years old - he doesn't know what fruit and vegetables look or taste like."

”There is simply nothing for the child to eat. There are no vegetables, no fruits."
Now, Lamia suffers from swelling in her legs, thinning hair, and nerve problems, she said.
"She cannot walk. I went to many clinics, doctors, and hospitals. They all told me my daughter is suffering from malnutrition. But none of them gave me anything, not treatment, not any support."

Is this a disgrace as well?
