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.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said Tuesday that "incremental progress" had been made in Gaza, but called on Israel to allow and facilitate humanitarian aid through land routes.

Guterres urged the international community to “do everything possible to avert an entirely preventable human-made famine."

If Palestinians can smuggle rockets they can smuggle food.

I didn’t know they had farms. Last I heard they dismantled the growing buildings the Jews left for them. If you are not growing your own food it’s not a famine.

Not a shocker that it’s the TDS-Establishment side of the GOP that is turning on Israel.

Simple solution... Get food from Hamas... "As Gazans Scrounge for Food and Water, Hamas Sits on a Rich Trove of Supplies. Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza." -- NY Slimes.

“How many farms did Hamas destroy on 10/7”

Don’t know about 10/7, but I know that Israel left them a BOATLOAD of Greenhouses in Gaza, and thousands of REALLY NICE homes - but being Palestinians, they destroyed every last one.

(sorry Zeepers, this was documented back then)

John bragged to Cindy about how much money they had made from his efforts at propagating war around the world. Now Cindy is raising money to feed those who she claims are suffering from what her husband profited from propagating!!

Two people I can not stand and their last name is McCain!!

Better yet, recall that when the Israelis pulled out in 2005(?) they left farms running in good order. As soon as they pulled out, the hatred of the Palis for anything Jews made came out and they destroyed all the sophisticated farming support stuff like computer-controlled irrigation systems. As a result, the farms went from healthy food producers to shambles.
