Hospitals across the Gaza Strip recorded eight deaths -- a child among them -- "due to famine and malnutrition" over the past 24 hours, Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health said Tuesday.

At least 188 Palestinians, including 94 children, have died from hunger in Gaza since the ongoing war began, according to the health ministry.

1. Fuck.

2. Thousands will starve to death over the next six weeks

Maybe tens of thousands.

This is a world historical catastrophe.

3. In the past couple months 88% of the aid coming into Gaza was "intercepted"

By armed gangs, Hamas and hungry Gazans.

From the United Nations:

4. Per this site,

Supplies were intercepted, "Either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors, during transit in Gaza." I'd like to see the breakdown between those two groups by a reliable source. I'd also like to see figures on how many starving people were gunned down after they received supplies.

7. CNN reported that 1000 have been murdered at food and water distribution sites

11. Thank you

6. The Israeli government has recently admitted that wasn't true

Time to stop spreading false claims.

9. Multiple organizations have found that Hamas did not

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/world/middleeast/hamas-un-aid-theft.html

You can do a Google search to read MULTIPLE articles on the subject. Or you could just click here: https://www.bing.com/news/search?q=Hamas+Didn%27t+Steal+Food+Aid&qpvt=hamas+didn%27t+steal+food+aid&FORM=EWRE

Now, in a dramatic about face, you claim the Israeli government is lying, while the so-called "antisemitic" UN is a reliable source, despite the fact I found no article on subject other than Fox news. (I plan to keep looking).

But hey, Trump claims they are, despite a separate USAID investigation saying Hamas did not. If you want to stand with him over the multiple organizations, including USAID, who did investigations and found the opposite, that's on you.

The evidence is incontrovertible. The only question now is whether you will continue to spread disproven propaganda as an excuse for mass starvation.

15. From the NYT article - No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

"For nearly two years, Israel has accused Hamas of stealing aid provided by the United Nations and other international organizations. The government has used that claim as its main rationale for restricting food from entering Gaza.

But the Israeli military never found proof that the Palestinian militant group had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations, the biggest supplier of emergency assistance to Gaza for most of the war, according to two senior Israeli military officials and two other Israelis involved in the matter.

In fact, the Israeli military officials said, the U.N. aid delivery system, which Israel derided and undermined, was largely effective in providing food to Gaza’s desperate and hungry population.

Now, with hunger at crisis levels in the territory, Israel is coming under increased international pressure over its conduct of the war in Gaza and the humanitarian suffering it has brought. Doctors in the territory say that an increasing number of their patients are suffering from — and dying of — starvation..."

10. A search of "UN Hamas food aid" turned up a very different picture from what you claim

16. But the UN office did not say this was done by Hamas, which both Israel and the US have claimed in the past ...

Further from your link ..

According to the organization, this was due to the trucks being “intercepted either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza.” This accounts for 88% of all trucks...

... Olga Cherevko from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs clarifies to The Times of Israel that the vast majority of looting is being carried out by hungry Gazans, not by armed gangs.

“The long-standing restrictions on the entry of aid have created an unpredictable environment where there is a lack of confidence by the communities that aid will reach them,” she says.

“This has resulted in many of our convoys offloaded directly by starving, desperate people as they continue to face deep levels of hunger and are struggling to feed their families,” the UN staffer continues..."


But there are gangs, maybe more starving people though.

Israel’s support for clans in Gaza puts tribal strongman in spotlight

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/03/israel-gaza-clans-abu-shabab/

Updated August 3, 2025

"JERUSALEM — Yasser Abu Shabab is all over Israeli news and Palestinian social media.
He describes himself as a humanitarian and a liberator. International aid workers allege he was behind the systematic looting of aid entering the Gaza Strip last fall.

Some Gazans — including analysts, residents and members of his own tribe — say he is a gang leader aligned with the Israeli military. “Yasser Abu Shabab doesn’t represent us. He only represents himself,” said Adel al-Tarabin, a leader in the Bedouin Tarabin tribe to which Abu Shabab belongs. He went on to describe him as a looter and a bandit.

... But the base that the militia leader said he has set up is in a part of southeastern Gaza under the control of the Israel Defense Forces. And in recent months, Israeli forces have refrained from interfering when Abu Shabab and his men, armed with AK-47s, patrolled a central artery in the area and stopped U.N. and Red Cross vehicles at makeshift checkpoints, according to several aid workers in Gaza..."

17. Clearly that is for a reason other

than Hamas, and it doesn’t justify Israel’s excuse for not letting humanitarian aid into the country. Nor does it justify starving children to death.

Your previous post has been proven false.

13. Thanks even more for this

18. Another interesting statistics is that between aid being offloaded

and it being collected, 11,000 pallets (9,000 tons) of aid goes missing.
