Gaza experiences a severe engineered famine under Israeli siege, with empty markets and blocked aid. Families resort to feeding children animal feed and expired goods, while starvation silently permeates the community. Mass starvation mainly impacts children and people with chronic illnesses. Save the Children reports that 93 percent of Gaza's children are in catastrophic hunger and over 650,000 children under five face life-threatening malnutrition. The international community is urged to recognize this crisis and not let it become normalized.
Hunger walks through Gaza's streets now - barefoot, silent, and uninvited. It slips between tents and bombed-out homes, sits beside the fireless cooking pots.
This is an engineered famine - deliberate starvation under Israeli siege: Markets are empty. Aid trucks are blocked. Parents are forced to give their children animal feed, sand mixed with flour.
Save the Children warns that 93 percent of Gaza's children - nearly 930,000 kids - face catastrophic hunger. More than 650,000 children under 5 are now at immediate risk of life-threatening malnutrition.
One of my deepest fears is that the world is beginning to grow used to the images of children and people with chronic illness wasting away from hunger.
