RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza.
“It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.”

Maybe they can live on some of those little candies they were passing out while celebrating 9/11.

This is bullsh** of course, but I don’t care if they all starve. They should stop supporting terrorists.

All those fat Hamas fighters that surrendered must have had plenty of food. I’m shocked that they didn’t share with their starving fellow Palestinians.

HAMAS is stealing the aid being sent in.
BLAME THEM.
To: Romulus
Ring up your hamas buddies and tell em to surrender. Be food a plenty after that
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Since Hamas aren’t human, there is plenty of meat there to eat. Eat Humas. That is what I would do.
You have to cook it real good like pork.
eg. “Long pig”

Why don’t the three who aren’t starving share their food with the one who is?

I watched a bunch of them beating, spitting and... doing other things to the dead (I hope) body of one of the hostages.
Enjoy your diet.

No, because the people there are protecting the people who bake babies.
They chose poorly.
The good news is that if instead of protecting the baby bakers they round them up, take them to the border with Israel, hand them over and say, we acknowledge your right to exist and want to live in peace, this will all stop.

Nobody there cares. The conscensus of everyone there is blame the evil zionistas. To advance the same notions of Ayatollah, the squad, the Democrats etc..... On Oct 6th, this wasn’t an issue.
