Just two months after October 7, international organizations were already discussing how to apply the term “famine” to the situation in Gaza.
This was revealed by World Health Organization representative to Israel, Dr. Michel Thieren, on the Mosaïque podcast last week.
The podcast was created by Akadem and the French Institute of Israel, and former journalist Antoine Mercier hosted the episode.
Thieren attended a multilateral governance meeting about Gaza in Geneva in December 2023. During the meeting, Thieren said organizations discussed how important it would be to scientifically demonstrate the occurrence of a famine in Gaza, and how to use the term for communication and political pressure on Israel. According to him, this was explicitly discussed at the highest levels in these meetings.
Anyone surprised?
Nope
