President Donald Trump on Monday said he disagrees with Netanyahu’s claim of no starvation in Gaza, noting the images emerging of emaciated people: “Those children look very hungry.”
After international pressure, Israel over the weekend announced humanitarian pauses, airdrops and other measures meant to allow more aid to Palestinians in Gaza. But people there say little or nothing has changed on the ground. The U.N. has described it as a one-week scale-up of aid, and Israel has not said how long these latest measures would last.
“This aid, delivered in this way, is an insult to the Palestinian people,” said Hasan Al-Zalaan, who was at the site of an airdrop as some fought over the supplies and crushed cans of chickpeas littered the ground.
Israel asserts that Hamas is the reason aid isn’t reaching Palestinians in Gaza and accuses its militants of siphoning off aid to support its rule in the territory. The U.N. denies that looting of aid is systematic and that it lessens or ends entirely when enough aid is allowed to enter Gaza.
The World Health Organization said Sunday there have been 63 malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza this month, including 24 children under the age of 5 — up from 11 deaths total the previous six months of the year.
The Patient’s Friends Hospital, the main emergency center for malnourished kids in northern Gaza, says this month it saw for the first time malnutrition deaths in children who had no preexisting conditions. Some adults who died suffered from such illnesses as diabetes or had heart or kidney ailments made worse by starvation, according to Gaza medical officials.

Deaths are increasing
The World Health Organization said Sunday there have been 63 malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza this month, including 24 children under the age of 5 — up from 11 deaths total the previous six months of the year.
(ABC News reported that this Palestinian child died of starvation and weighed less than when she was born when she died.)
Gaza’s Health Ministry puts the number even higher, reporting 82 deaths this month of malnutrition-related causes: 24 children and 58 adults. It said Monday that 14 deaths were reported in the past 24 hours. The ministry, which operates under the Hamas government, is headed by medical professionals and is seen by the U.N. as the most reliable source of data on casualties. U.N. agencies also often confirm numbers through other partners on the ground.The Patient’s Friends Hospital, the main emergency center for malnourished kids in northern Gaza, says this month it saw for the first time malnutrition deaths in children who had no preexisting conditions. Some adults who died suffered from such illnesses as diabetes or had heart or kidney ailments made worse by starvation, according to Gaza medical officials.
The WHO also says acute malnutrition in northern Gaza tripled this month, reaching nearly one in five children under 5 years old, and has doubled in central and southern Gaza. The U.N. says Gaza’s only four specialized treatment centers for malnutrition are “overwhelmed.”
The leading international authority on food crises, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, has warned of famine for months in Gaza but has not formally declared one, citing the lack of data as Israel restricts access to the territory.

Only 100 people have died from starvation in Gaza. At least 94 people died in the Guadalupe River flood; at least 22 more in Central Texas floods. So what’s all this hype? They brought it upon themselves. To date the people of Palestine residing in Gaza still support Hamas. You don’t feed a rabid dog you kill it. Before you weak fags start running with a loaf of bread to feed these animals at least disarm them. They will always be a threat that’s why no neighboring country will accept them.
5:59 When a war/battle starts, locals don't dictate what transpires. If Trump
decides to bomb Iran, you and I have no say so. You can't generalize and say
that everyone in the country is in agreement and condones the action. Also,
your body count is way off in both Gaza and Texas. The verbiage you use to
describe the Palestinian people shows your lack of education. Don't worry,
Trump loves the uneducated.
Sad to state but nobody cares about these starving people. Not their government, not their neighbors, nobody! The people in control of distributing the food steal it.
Here in the states why do you think people from other countries want to come here? Has it ever occurred to you que es porque no se quieren morir de hambre?
Some countries just need to fix their own problems.
Gaza is the way it is because of the cowardly terrorists who started this conflict. These fucking rag heads are the ones stealing and keeping the food from those caught in this conflict. When are you stupid people going to figure that out? Yea, we know that the Left are social loving terrorist and believe anything that the Left media puts out! Get over it and keep America great!
9:25 This conflict didn't start Oct. 7th. Israel was declared a nation in 1948.
Palestinians were forcibly exiled from their homes and land. You're talking
out of your ass without knowing the history or facts. Genocide, war crimes and
atrocities against women and children does not make America great.
Kill ‘em ALL and let God separate the chaff from the wheat!
When South Texas is attacked, a guerrilla will be formed called los tejanos and they will fight. The residents of South Texas will have no jobs, no food, no water and we will perish. No one will come to help us. Some will speak up but they will be destroyed. Same story all over the world. The tejanos will be a bad group in the eyes of the powerful.
To keep America great you have to stop using drugs, start working, pay all your credit cards and do not live beyond your means. Sell your big home that you can not pay your taxes, sell your big car and get an old car and keep your kids studying and going to church.
Israel invaded Gaza. In 1987 Hamas won the election by donating to the community and taking care of its needs. Then they fought corruption. Israel was unhappy.
Israeli Human Rights groups are stating that Netanyahu's regime is guilty of
genocide in Gaza. We need to stop supporting Israel with our tax dollars and
weapons. Every time they get themselves into a bind, it's America to the rescue. Trump's unprovoked bombing in Iran is not over. When Israel snaps
their fingers, he will send our military there again.
And Biden loves the idiots who put him in office. Democrats are so smart they fell for the Russian collusion, open borders, defund the police, housing illegals in expensive hotels all at the cost of taxpayers expensive. So who is the idiot here? Not to mention that democrats lost the election by a huge margin as per AI!!
Gaza is the way it is because the Palestinian people residing there voted for Hamas as their governing body. People in Gaza still support Hamas. I guess the Palestinians are much like the Democrats when they voted for Biden and to this day still support him. Is it ignorance or indoctrination? Or both?
Since Hamas took leadership their only goal has been to assist Iran in achieving world dominance. Thank you Israel for keeping these lunatics at bay.
So what did Hamas commit? Hamas started the war now groups are crying foul. In war people die. It's sad but true.
The people of Palestine have been given numerous opportunities to build a nation but they have refused. So the dying continues.
