Malnourished starving children in Gaza

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 🕊️💔

UNRWA are compromised and were involved in October 7th. That's why they were kicked out. The only people shot have been those that don't stick to the official entry lines or threaten the GHF.

If you're going to kick out the largest aid distributer in a territory you've invaded then it's on you to abide by international law and feed civilians. Shooting at people including children as they approach for aid is a war crime.

If anything, this shows that GHF were massively incapable of a very important task. You should expect people on the brink of starvation to be fairly desperate in their attempts to get food. If your only way to control them is by shooting them, then clearly there isn’t enough food and you’re not managing it effectively. Desperate people seeking aid shouldn’t be shot because they don’t form an orderly queue or because they get angry when they have guns pointed at them or if food runs out or if you’re not managing the situation. It’s such a desperate situation that needs to be supervised by experts in aid and not in defence.

People get shot for not queueing properly?

On Times radio this evening, I heard an American doctor working in Gaza that each day, teenage boys who had been queuing for food would come in with different kinds of injuries. One day head wounds, the next arms, the next day stomach injuries and so on. One day the injury of choice was in the testicles. He said it was apparent there was a decision every day to target a different body part. On teenage boys. Who were queuing for food. For their families. How are you going to explain that one away? I am sure you will try your best.

That this is reported on Times Radio ought to tell anyone who still has a shadow of a doubt exactly what they need to know.
When Murdoch press is finally reporting fact, everyone needs to recognise this as the pivotal moment that it is. The actions of Israel - Netanyahu - are beyond the pale.
Many of us have an epiphany as we enter old age and come to terms with our lives. Hopefully, the enabling Trump will be next.

Women are being forced to sell sex for a pita bread to split between their children.

The men that would buy the sex and obviously have spare funds are disgusting. Do they not care about their fellow countrywomen and children?

Yep see also Professor Nick Maynard from Oxford reporting the same targeting of different body parts on different days including testicles. See the American military vets who were hired as mercenaries to help Israel at these 'GHF aid points' - they testified that Israeli soldiers and American mercenaries killed civilians indiscriminately. Gunned down starving children as they tried to get food.
