Gaza is at a point of no return
85% of the population is in 5th stage of malnutrition. That's just over half a million. This stage is irreversible even if food became available in the future. We're talking brain damage/cognitive impairment, permanent changes in their DNA and of course death.
The worst thing about it? It’s engineered. A deliberate starvation campaign to punish every man, woman, and child in Gaza. None of this is inevitable. Just a mile away, trucks loaded with food sit idle at the border, denied entry by the IDF and violent settlers. All aid being withheld, a man-made famine, enforced with cruelty.
As a south asian who's ancestors suffered multiple intentional famines, I can tell you the impact of it in multiple generations. We suffer from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a much higher rate to this day. I can't believe we've let this happen again. Even with the world calling to save Palestine, it hasn't made any difference. I have no words
