World Food Programme Director Cindy McCain: Northern Gaza is in a 'full-blown famine'

NBC ^ | 5/4/24

What I can explain to you is — is that there is famine — full-blown famine — in the north, and it's moving its way south," she said.

Since mid-March, the United Nations has said famine is "imminent" in Gaza, but has not yet officially stated that it believes famine has struck the state.

In April, Samantha Power, the director of the U.S. Agency for International Development became the first U.S. official to say that it was credible to assess that famine is occurring in portions of Gaza. No other U.S. official has made that assessment.

McCain said that while there has not yet been an official declaration of famine, based on what her organization has seen and experienced on the ground, she believes there is a "full-blown" issue in Gaza.

"It’s horror. It's – You know, it's so hard to look at and it's so hard to hear, also," McCain said in her interview.

Did these 2 visit Gaza ?

[Fungi]

Those greenhouses not only fed Gaza, two 747 planeloads full of produce a week were sent to Europe for sale. These clowns only know one thing: hatred for Jews. That's the result of a phony prophet, a phony religion, and a phony “holy” book.

[rustyboots]

30,000 Palestinians dead so far. Add two zeros to that and we will have half the Palestinian problem eliminated. Let them starve. They dance for Jewish deaths; they dance for American deaths, and we are supposed to care about their deaths??

[rktman]

Send them some miller lite(in the loafers) cincin. As for Tony’s comment....yeah it was preventable to sure. Until 10/7/2023. After that....TFB! 🖕

[Maskot]

Entirely Hamas made, not human made.

[Flaming Conservative]

If they are, it’s only because Hamas is starving the people. Throwing more money at them or ceasing the war won’t change that.

[nickcarraway]

Let them eat beer.

[rdcbn1]

This is simply not true.

There is plenty of food coming in and there is no systematic famine in Gaza.

[faithhopecharity]

I guess the Fakestinians should not have murdered 1300 innocent people in their homes and schools

[DownInFlames]

Yep. The palis voted for Hamas to be in power. Live with it.

[daler]

My very first thought.

I guess I’m just not a deep enough thinker to be a successful, respected diplomat or politician.

[metmom]

Blame it on hamas where it belongs.

The tons of food that have been sent there should have prevented it.

The only reason it MAY not have is because it was stolen from the people and they were deliberately starved by hamas for optics and false accusations.

How many greenhouses in Gaza did Hamas destroy in 2005?

[piasa]

Good point

[piytar]

If Palestinians can smuggle rockets they can smuggle food.

Exactly.

Thing is the Islamists running Gaza WANT famine so Biden will ship them more billion$.

[Waverunner]

So, Cindy and the UN admit they aren't doing a good job . Genius I say.
Perhaps there is a simple solution.

[falcon99]

Cindy is about as useful and truthful as her father. There have been many articles that say just the opposite of what she and the UN say. In my opinion, I doubt there is famine and even if there is I question feeding people who supported Oct 7 and would think the UN and others would look at all the food Hamas has stolen.

[Delta 21]

Yet, somehow they continue to build and launch rockets at the people that they hate.

Gazans are lucky to starve and not be blown up by now if they did that to my countrymen.
