Malnourished starving children in Gaza

[babyproblems]

The photos that appeared this morning on my news updates of mothers holding their children, dying of starvation and extreme malnutrition in Gaza have absolutely broken my heart. I am not particularly news focused, of course I’ve followed it all but this morning it has stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away. As a mother of a 3yo DS who is sleeping peacefully in his bedroom, whilst we have a fridge full of food downstairs and a life of peace, I feel so sorry that those poor mothers and children are living this hell so undeserved and also so so lucky we have the peace we do…
I don’t really know what the point of my post is; I suppose I’m screaming When Will This End inside and want to tell everyone to not take the freedom and peace we have for granted; use your right to vote and use your privilege to make informed choices that steer the world away from conflict towards peace…

Sending a handhold to all the mothers’ whose lives are not being lived in peace and whose children are suffering 🕊️💔

How do they or we know that if they released the hostages that the war would end?

No agreement for any such thing has been reached

The images doing the rounds are from Sudan and a from a boy with cerebral palsy whom the Israelis have got out and transferred to Europe.

If you are going to write that, you need to give a source, or proof.

What proof do you have.

I mean you'd think if starvation had taken hold there would be no shortage of people to take photos of....

They dont let international journalists into Gaza though.

The new York times has posted a veiled apology for failing to dig into this story before they posted it. nypost.com/2025/07/29/media/new-york-times-stunningly-rolls-back-claims-about-viral-photo-of-starving-gaza-boy/

Indeed but it's not like we haven't seen any photos or footage from there...so that argument doesn't really wash. Rest assured if there were starving adults everywhere like in an actual famine, we'd know about it

Are they starved or well fed? It's so hard to tell from your post (#sarcasm).

Israel have stated since day 1. Release the hostages and Hamas stand down. Then the war is over.

Wow, when we thought it couldnt get worse, here you are

Charlie Kirk is a right-wing pro-Trump activist who thinks that abortion is murder with no exceptions for rape who has pedalled anti-semitic conspiracy theories such as the Great Replacement. He can fuck right off.

Israel also stated they would not let a grain of aid in. Now they did exactly that, you deny there is starvation. Pick a lane

Why is that? Do you not question what you see?

For someone who takes gospel what a wanted war criminal says, I question what you stand for.

Disgusting

Exactly, and Israel hasn't allowed foreign doctors working in hospitals in Gaza to bring baby formula into Gaza. If they bring any formula with them, it is confiscated.

The BBC were on an "air drop" plane and Jeremy Bowen peaked out even though he was told not to. He said neighbourhoods he had visited many times were literally flattened.

No wonder they keep everyone out and why this genocide is being prolonged. The world has woken up and now the Israelis are petrified what we will say when we actually see what they have done

Oh im fed up with this war. They should all just fucking grow up, but they are going to keep it going and going and going.

There is no reasoning with spme egomaniacl male leaders

Especially ones who are facing trials in their own countries and the Hague so are prolonging this genocide to save their skins

My friend actually did a Phd on countries in the middle east.

He told me that he realised that they have so many problems, wars and conflicts, precisely because they keep women down in so many areas. It gets the whole culture unbalanced.

USAID lied before about famine in Gaza in the past only to admit there wasn't one at all

I was aware of the claim but not that they'd withdrawn it so wonder if you could expand on this @GoldenRosebee?

While nobody disputes there are certainly needs in the area I'm also well aware - this time from experience - that NGOs and charities frequently maximise their claims if only to secure their own positions and funding, and that not absolutely everything is necessarily as presented

Yes. Genocide and ethnic cleansing.
