27 children have been murdered by the IOF every day for 650 days in Gaza (UNICEF)

[Wedonttalkaboutboris]

Facts:

• At least 15,000 children have been killed since the war began in October 2023.
• Many have died in airstrikes, building collapses, or stampedes at aid sites.
• Thousands more have been injured, often with life-altering wounds, burns, or amputations.
• Gaza is facing famine-like conditions.
• Children are eating grass, leaves, or going days without food.
• Severe malnutrition is widespread, especially in northern Gaza. Babies and toddlers are dying of hunger-related causes.
• Nearly all children in Gaza are now considered to have signs of acute psychological trauma:
• Nightmares
• Bedwetting
• Non-responsiveness (shutdown/dissociation)
• Panic at loud sounds
• Many have lost one or both parents, siblings, or entire families.
• Most hospitals have been bombed or shut down.
• Children can’t access basic care, vaccines, or treatment for chronic illnesses.
• Wounded kids are operated on without anesthesia in some cases.
• Over 1 million children have been displaced—many multiple times.
• Families sleep in tents, rubble, or outdoors with no clean water or toilets.
• Nearly all schools have been shut down, destroyed, or turned into shelters.
• Many teachers and schoolchildren have been killed.
• A whole generation risks growing up with no access to education or safety.
• Children are drinking dirty water, leading to diarrheal diseases and infections.
• Outbreaks of hepatitis, lice, and scabies are widespread.
• Even in declared “safe zones” or aid areas, children have been shot, suffocated in stampedes, or killed by nearby strikes.
• Some have died while queuing for water or food.

“There is no safe place left for children in Gaza. They are being killed, starved, maimed, and psychologically shattered. This is not a humanitarian crisis—this is a crisis of humanity.”
— Save the Children, July 2025

I just typed out a post but it would probably be deleted given how I'm feeling right now. I've just seen this image in the guardian, I can't describe how I feel knowing that this has been done on purpose and nothing has been done to stop it. I can't believe this is how low humanity has fallen. This child has been starved on purpose. What the actual fuck.

Not bizarre at all for aid to be provided to civilians during war, it is also an obligation on an occupying state under international law to provide necessary food and water to civilians

WTAF!!! You think that denying a cruise ship to dock is in anyway comparable to what’s happening in Gaza?!!!

It says in that article that Hamas denies stealing humanitarian aid.

But they also denied raping women during 7/10 & there is a lot of evidence that they did (I believe it is accepted as a fact now that they did commit sexual violence on 7/10).

They are not reliable as known to tell lies and I believe this is a lie or why would Israel have gone to all the effort & money to try to find a new method of aid distribution? I accept the new method hadn’t worked by the way and that some IDF soldiers have also lied about things. But still … why are we still acting as though anything Hamas says has validity?

why would Israel have gone to all the effort & money to try to find a new method of aid distribution

It's baffling isn't it. Why would you go to all of that effort to lure people into 10% of Southern Gaza and then not even feed them.

It is absolutely a crime against humanity that civilians weren’t given the opportunity to be evacuated to places of safe refuge when the war started, like they are in every other conflict.

One solution would have been for Egypt to open their border and allow them refuge there. Egypt wont allow it and their border is stronger than Israels.

Though Egypt escapes criticism for some reason.

Baffling isn't it....

But they are feeding them, they have distributed millions of meals and it has cost millions of dollars to set up and run the GHF.

It clearly isn't enough food to meet needs and the system isn't working safely, but they are providing food. And there are other organisations operating too in Gaza also trying to feed people like the World Food Programme.

Honestly, the situation is bad enough - we all see how bad it is for Gazans. You don't have to exaggerate by pretending that the GHF don't feed anyone.

@Twiglets1 I don’t think that is the point of the thread though is it. Hamas said this, the IDF said that. The fact of the matter is that currently the Israeli government are blocking aid entering into Gaza, and have done so since March. As a result, people who live there are now showing worrying levels of malnutrition, or literally starving to death. Aid workers and doctors themselves are unable to obtain food and therefore are no longer able to do the work that they want to, so bravely, to continue. This is horrifying people across the world, and it needs to stop now.

Sadly it also isn't unique.

Since the onset of the Sudanese civil war there has been a severe famine.

According to WFP, approximately half of Sudan’s population – 25 million people – is facing extreme levels of hunger, including about five million children and mothers suffering acute malnutrition.

But no one gives a shit. It's never in the paper. One wonders why there isn't the same level of care on a global scale for the civilian victims of war.

I tried to post a link to the recent UN article on the subject but it didnt post for some reason.

That bold quote was from.the UN website. A recent article.

@Crystalight the point is Hamas are liars. If @Everexpanding wants to post a link that talks about what Hamas says on the subject being discussed, it is worth reminding people they are not reliable witnesses.

I agree with you that Israel should allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza even, at this stage (in my opinion) if that helps Hamas financially because the situation is dire.

I'm not pretending anything. They aren't feeding all of the people they have lured into 10% of Gaza. You say yourself that there isn't enough food to feed all of the people they have lured to southern Gaza. Why lure them all there with the promise of food and then not feed them? They know how many people there are, hell they've even calculated how many calories they need to survive yet they still haven't fed them. Still more and more people are dying of malnutrition. Why? What is happening now has been warned of months and months and months. Israel knew what would happen if there wasnt enough food, so why is there not enough food?

Agree you hear very little about that war in the news. You would think the war in Gaza was uniquely horrible considering all the attention it gets, but no.

WTAF!!! You think that denying a cruise ship to dock is in anyway comparable to what’s happening in Gaza?!!!

I made no comparison. My point was that citizens should not be held accountable for the actions of their government

Thank you for posting the links.

If you also look closely at the trt video they have blurred out the name of the person who released the video : abdulramin. W zard, which is clearly visible in the link from Ramy. They've also added their logo to the video.

Yes, I see - although abdulramin. W zard runs down the side of the TRT video for a few seconds.

(there are groups who deliberately edit videos in order to say that Palestinians are lying or allege "Pallywood")

That seems plausible.

the link that I posted from Ramy Abdu (Assist. Prof of Law & Finance. Chairman EuromedHR) a Palestinian with family in Gaza

Alas, he seems to have some dubious links as well;
https://unwatch.org/un-human-rights-office-amplifies-blood-libel-by-terrorist-sympathizers

On October 7th and 8th Abdu justified and ecstatically celebrated the Hamas massacre on Twitter:

• “In this battle, Palestine presented its elite young men and women on the path to freedom and dignity. Successive generations will remember you, and history will immortalize you as heroic knights who created for us pure glory, not stained with mud. Remember their names well and teach the stories of their eternal heroism to your children and grandchildren.”

Im just baffled by the attention Gaza gets and always has got. It is not uniquely horrible as you say.

What is it about this that gets so much attention whilst everyone is happy to shrug and not care about far worse atrocities and humanitarian crises.

Over a 100 aid organisations have said mass starvation is spreading across Gaza. But Israel who is limiting the aid and distributing in a way that is often a death sentence for aid seekers is not at fault.

Go figure.

The difference is that Israel is an ally of western nations. It is committing these atrocities and has been supported by the EU, the UK and the US. We are all splattered with blood by what’s going on.

According to posters here Israel even know the exact amount of babies born, they know that the population of Gaza has supposedly grown since all of this. They know that terrorists are in every school, in every hospital, in every home, in tents but they don't know that kids will die without food? They know how much food is needed and they have made no effort to make sure that that amount enters Gaza. They don't even need to provide it. Just let it in and that's too much for them?! We are supposed to pretend that this is all just some terrible mistake, some badly designed system from the people that blew up pages across Lebanon. From the people we are told are world leaders in tech and life sciences? They can do all of this but not get food into babies bellies?

Thanks - although your screenshot of the boy with the white face is odd. I can't see the boy's nose and mouth - whereas all his features were very visible in the TRT video.

This is exactly the point! This is what posters who love a bit of whataboutery seem to forget!

But Palestinians should be free to murder, kidnap and rape with impunity you think? There are hardly coming to this with clean hands.

Im not splattered with blood thanks.

Apologies, I did not see your post last night.

No I'm not splattered with blood either.

As far as I'm concerned, the UK are not responsible for what Palestinians or Israelis choose to do. It's their war not mine and their governments can take responsibility for their own actions.
