Netanyahu really going for that letter board spot in history's worst villains. Awful situation
It's cheaper than Zyklon B.
As a parent this is the saddest part of the war. I just couldn't imagine having to tell my child that there is no food, the thought alone breaks my heart. Then you remember it's spread over hundreds of thousands of parents... just sickening.
Malnutrition creates life-long damage/harm when it harms growing children.
It doesn't require outright-starvation to damage an entire-population's viability.
No matter: evil does what evil does, & when it claims that "the bible" justifies it, well, that's just icing on the cake, isn't it?
We can see the "Christians" in the US & Islamist "Muslims" proving the same principle, can't we?
And the "Buddhists" who genocided Tamils, & "Hindus" who butcher whomever they're ideologically-intolerant-of at the time..
There is no "religion" which is the cause of this: it is caused by our animal-ignorance mind, which the Abrahamic religion called "behemoth", usually translated as "the beast".
You can even see the book of Isaiah railing against such things.
Human-nature won't change until most of our kind are extinguished, right?
Some other species might have had an instant-and-violent-reaction against doing what Russia & Israel are doing..
Our accommodating of it .. insults God/Life, doesn't it?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Months of extreme hunger have already killed many Palestinians in Gaza and caused permanent damage to children through malnutrition, two new food security reports have found, even before famine is officially declared.
“Regardless of whether or not the famine (IPC phase 5) thresholds have been definitively reached or exceeded, people are dying of hunger-related causes across Gaza,” the Fews Net report found.
Entry into Gaza is controlled by Israeli authorities, movements require military permission, roads are damaged by rubble, fuel is in short supply and power and communications networks barely function.
So the final report takes into account “available evidence and known information gaps”, and declares it “possible, if not likely, that all three IPC thresholds for famine (food consumption, acute malnutrition, and mortality) were met or surpassed in northern Gaza in April”.
But in the south, the crisis is deepening after an Israeli military push into Rafah choked off the main entry routes for aid; at least two child deaths from malnutrition have been reported.
Fighting appeared to have intensified in the centre of Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières said on Wednesday, with al-Aqsa hospital overwhelmed by casualties after heavy Israeli airstrikes.

A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
