Malnourished children, hospital supplies running low: Impact of 2 months of no aid in Gaza

Israel's decision to halt all humanitarian aid from crossing into Gaza is entering its third month.

The Israeli government said the blockade is to pressure Hamas to release the remaining 59 hostages, including the remains of those who have died, and to accept a new proposal to extend phase one of the ceasefire deal, which ended on March 18.

Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) wrote in a post on X in late April that humanitarian personnel have been allowed to enter and exit Gaza to support humanitarian efforts in the strip.

But multiple doctors and international aid workers told ABC News that water, food, medicine and medical supplies are running low, and in some cases running out completely.

2. Netanyahu doesn't care about the hostages

Israel had the greatest success getting hostages back while they had ceasefires of which Netanyahu and his extreme right wing government ended.

He's intent on genocide, or ethnic cleansing and taking Gaza just as he was at the beginning, October 6th was the excuse that he needed to so.

Thanks for the thread groundloop

3. If it ain't genocide or war crimes, I don't know what it is. Go ahead and pile on me. It's fucking sick.

4. 'UK Lawyers for Israel' say the absence of cigarettes and confectionery may decrease obesity

Yep, they're really that tactless:

UK Lawyers for Israel condemned over claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza

The remarks were made by Jonathan Turner, the chief executive of UKLFI, in response to a motion due to be debated at the Co-operative Group’s annual general meeting calling for the retailer to stop selling Israeli produce.

Urging the Co-operative council to withdraw the motion, Turner criticised the fact that it refers to an estimated death toll of 186,000. In a letter to the Co-operative Group secretary, Turner wrote that it was “totally false and misleading” to cite the figure from a letter published by the Lancet last year, which was a projected figure including indirect casualties.

He adds: “The [Lancet] letter also ignored factors that may increase average life expectancy in Gaza, bearing in mind that one of the biggest health issues in Gaza prior to the current war was obesity.”
...
“So we pointed out, secondly, that this claim was based on entirely unfounded speculation, which also ignored factors that might result in lengthening the lives of Gazans, given the public health situation existing in Gaza prior to the war, including the extent of obesity. These factors include the possible reduction in the availability of confectionery and cigarettes.

5. Shouldn't Jill Stein do something about this?

The Ceasefire Now people voted for her.

Also, why aren't they accusing Trump of genocide like they did with Biden?

6. Nice distraction from the starving children.

Seems a tad more important than scoring useless political points. Leave that for Trump and MAGA.
