Between Israel’s blockade and its bombing of aid vehicles and workers, the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” aid sites – where hundreds of Palestinians have been killed – and “aid drops” that have killed children, Palestinians are stuck between dying of starvation or the risk of dying trying to avoid it. And now the results of such a horrific equation are being laid bare.
On July 20, 86 people had died of starvation in Gaza since the genocide began.
In the three weeks since then, as of Aug. 11, that number has shot up to 222.
In other words, 61% of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past 3 weeks.
An unheard-of acceleration of man-made starvation and famine is sweeping Gaza, borne by the US-backed Israeli genocide.
The phase of hunger Palestinians have reached is to the point where the damage can be irreversible. Meaning, the health of Palestinians’ brains, bodies, and psychologies may not be fully retrievable — even if they get fed soon.
This is where we are at right now. Not a breaking point, nor the edge of disaster. We have arrived at full-blown, historical catastrophe. The best time to stop this horror was before it even began. The next best time is right now.
