Gaza Is Already The Most Intense Starvation Catastrophe Of Recent Decades. The Death Toll From Hunger

Alex de Waal has covered famines in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia. His prediction on Gaza:

"most intense famine since World War II."

"Even if the shooting ends today and the aid trucks begin to roll, the dying will carry on for some time"

Grim. Accurate.https://t.co/ugatFEuc13

Gaza is already the most intense starvation catastrophe of recent decades. The death toll from hunger and disease may soon surpass the body count from bombs and bullets. The Famine Review Committee reported this week that Gaza is facing “imminent famine”. The Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) system, set up 20 years ago, provides the most authoritative assessments of humanitarian crises. Its figures for Gaza are the worst ever by any metric. It estimates that 677,000 people, or 32% of all Gazans, are in “catastrophic” conditions today and a further 41% are in “emergency” conditions. It expects fully half of Gazans, more than 1 million people, to be in “catastrophe” or “famine” within weeks. A parallel report from the Famine Early Warning System Network of the US Agency for International Development sounds the same alarm. It is the clearest warning that the network has given at any time in its 40-year history. A rule of thumb is that “catastrophe” or “famine” conditions mean a daily death rate from from hunger or disease of two people out of 10,000. About half are children under five years old. The arithmetic is simple. For a population of 1 million, that is 200 deaths per day, 6,000 per month.

This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen. An Israeli death squad disguised as civilians executing Palestinians in a hospital. 

Somehow Israel finds a new way, everyday, to be more unabashed in its killing of Palestinians. https://t.co/SfR78P6aAx

Imagine if Palestinians disguised themselves and killed 3 people in an Israeli hospital, the media would lose its mind.

Palestinians in Israeli prisons, and that includes men, women, and children, are subjected to torture, sexual violence, threats of rape and killing their loved ones, and they get KILLED. The "only democracy in the Middle East" is nothing but a colonial and imperial power that torments and kills the innocent. Keep talking about Palestine!
