U.N. agencies said on Tuesday the two main crossings into the southern Gaza Strip remained shut, virtually cutting off the Palestinian enclave from outside aid with few stocks positioned inside.
The global agency’s humanitarian office spokesperson Jens Laerke told journalists Israel had shut both the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings for aid and people as part of its military operation in Rafah, where around 1 million uprooted people are sheltering.
Been hearing about “imminent” famine since November.
Well, you’re in luck, the U.N. now says it’s a full-blown famine.
Actually according to this guy it. Can still be averted.
Well, sure, it’s a human-caused famine which the government of Israel could decide to avert.
And they have averted it.
Who did what?
this is great news, let me just tell all the dead children
Its been staved off since Hamas lowered food prices. You know, because of all the free aid thats been coming in which Hamas takes and then makes the Palestinians buy from them. Just another reminder that nothing about this situation is black and white.
I hope you have the joy of knowing you said this when you see a pic of a starving child in Palestine.
There’s kids starving right around here.
You know that doesn’t justify your cold hearted comment right?
