Since the war began, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have engaged in what West Point Urban Warfare Studies Chairman John Spencer described as “a remarkable, historic new standard” for wartime treatment of civilians, resulting in a civilian-to-combatant mortality ratio that is “historically low for modern urban warfare.” For example, Israel regularly provides warnings of impending attacks, assists with evacuations, and even stops its attacks on a daily basis to allow humanitarian aid to arrive.
Despite the recent tragedy, the IDF tries to ensure that Gazans don’t starve throughout the war.
According to this United Nations chart, at least half the farms in Gaza are still going, their farm exports are still reaching their foreign customers, three quarters of the greenhouses are still producing, the bakeries are still baking, yet somehow, everyone in Gaza is starving to death.
That is one funny way of running a man-made famine.
Hamas, which has been hoarding food and stealing from Gazans, is the root cause of Gazans’ suffering. As Congressman Jim Himes, a Connecticut Democrat and ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, stated in a CNN interview: “Hamas has a long history of stealing aid, and needs to stop that in the interest of the people that they purport to represent.”
How do you starve when you're still exporting food?
There's also this aid as well on top of what the Gazans already have:
Despite the recent tragedy, the IDF tries to ensure that Gazans don’t starve throughout the war. COGAT data show that 290,000 tons of food and beverages have been delivered to Gaza since October — recently as many as 200 truckloads a day. Full distribution of these supplies would deliver about 1.82 pounds of food daily for each of the 2 million people in Gaza (145 kg per person, during 175 days of war). Based on FAO estimates of the average daily consumption in Asia and Africa (where Gaza is situated), this alone would be enough to supply 50% of Gazans’ daily consumption needs – on top of the food they continue to produce themselves.
That's a lot of free food -- and hungry Gazans don't get enough of it, because Hamas takes first dibs, ripping the aid from the hands and mouths of the people they impoverished like a parasite on a host.
Earthquake in Lebenon, NJ, Israel hits Lebenon tonight, hmm.
Misuse of the word Famine is ridiculous here.
There has been no drought and crops are not failing.
Gaza itself made it much more difficult to feed people by
insighting wartime conditions.
Look at what Hamas has brought down on it’s Arab populace
in Gaza. Why isn’t anyone blaming Hamas for this S-show?
Where were the U. N. resolutions against Hamas every new
missile barage over the last decade? Where were all the
little human rights activists then? Where were the
Democrats dumping on Hamas for human rights abuses?
Where were the women with all their feelings, “Oh me,
oh my!”
When is the last time any of the Hamas support clowns
demanded the hostages be let free?
I’ve never before seen a group of people this stupid, by
choice.

Why is Israel and for that matter, the West, responsible at all for feeding and building the infrastructure of a terror state?
If the untold billions of dollars in donations were put to productive use instead of tunnels, weapons and Hamas’ Swiss bank accounts, Gaza could be a world-class vacation destination instead of just another muzzie sh!thole.
Cut off all support for the muzzie monsters.
“No, Israel is not starving Gaza. “
If Israel wants to live in peace they would.
“innocent Palestinians”
Oxymoron?
