The Irish Independent's View: Collective inaction on Gaza is a dark stain on humanity
Briefly

The situation in Gaza is dire, with widespread starvation impacting even aid workers. Daily violence continues, particularly affecting defenseless children and families. Recent statements from officials seem detached from the realities on the ground, as thousands have died amidst ongoing hostilities. Reports indicate suffering reminiscent of historical atrocities, with medical experts witnessing distressing injuries on civilians. Despite overwhelming evidence of humanitarian crises, some leaders falsely proclaim conditions in Gaza as manageable, raising ethical questions about global indifference to such tragedies.
The starvation in Gaza is of a magnitude that medics sent in to help are collapsing from hunger.
The lines of the skeletal and the destitute queuing for whatever scraps they might be offered belong in the Dark Ages.
Even as the deaths from starvation mount, Israeli heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu went on radio to claim: "There's no hunger in Gaza."
One wonders if 21st-century life has really become so transactional as to be impervious to the traumas of defenseless children.
