Starvation depletes the body of essential nutrients, starting with muscle and tissue breakdown. The metabolism slows, hindering temperature regulation and kidney function. As starvation progresses, immune response weakens, reducing healing abilities and organ functionality. Adults and children in Gaza face increasing hunger-related deaths due to limited aid. Dr. James Smith emphasizes that starvation is a brutal method to inflict suffering on individuals. Both old and young are increasingly affected as essential resources diminish, pushing more individuals towards mortality from malnutrition-related causes.
Starvation is one of the most undignified and barbaric ways to kill. It's intended to be protracted and to maximize suffering.
After being deprived of food for days, the body begins to break down muscle and other tissues. Metabolism slows and kidney function becomes impaired.
The immune system begins to falter, reducing the body's ability to heal from injury. Essential organs like the heart and lungs become less effective.
As the body's protein stores are ravaged, the body's tissues are broken down, leading towards death.
