“As deaths from #hunger rise in #Gaza, the Israeli military announced Saturday that it will begin airdrops of aid and open more humanitarian corridors to bring in food. But the U.N. and aid groups have criticized airdrops as inadequate and dangerous. Lisa Desjardins speaks with Rachel Cummings with Save the Children, a leading aid worker in Gaza, about conditions on the ground.”

„Stopp der Lebensmittellieferungen nach Gaza
Israelische Militärs räumen mangelnde Beweise für Diebstahl durch die Hamas ein
Für Israels Anschuldigungen, die Hamas habe im großen Stil Hilfsgüter gestohlen, liegen bislang keine Beweise vor. Nun äußern sich auch hochrangige israelische Militärs in diesem Sinne.“

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

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

"Gaza has faced relentless bombardment for almost three years, but Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said at a briefing on Wednesday that it is not just the bombs which are killing Palestinians.

Starvation is “another killer”.

Reportedly at least 100 people have died from hunger, and WHO has documented at least 21 cases of children under the age of five dying from malnutrition.

Additionally, Mr. Lazzarini said one in five children in Gaza City is malnourished, a number increasing every day that unhindered humanitarian aid is denied.

“Severe malnutrition is spreading among children faster than aid can reach them, and the world is watching it happen … Children must be protected - not killed, and not left to starve,” said Edouard Beigbeder, UN Children Fund’s (UNICEF) regional director for the Middle East and North Africa."

„ Zudem kündigte der Premier an, in Zusammenarbeit mit Jordanien britische Hilfslieferungen aus der Luft über dem Gazastreifen abwerfen zu wollen. Daran werde mit Hochdruck gearbeitet. Die Lieferung über den Luftweg gilt allerdings Hilfsorganisationen zufolge als die teuerste und ineffektivste Form humanitärer Hilfslieferungen - auch, weil es dabei meist um relativ geringe Mengen geht. ”

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

He’d noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination — but at the end of the day they’d settle quite happily for egg and chips. If it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld Series No. 24, The Fifth Elephant [footnote] (1999)

Israel has become one of the major pariah states in world history... Up there with Third Reich Germany, Stalin's USSR, Mao's China, and Pol Pot's Cambodia.

"He stood in line with hundreds of others. There were children, women, and elderly men. “Some were barefoot, some had been waiting since the night before,” he recalled.

As his group inched closer to the point where they hoped they would be able to grab a parcel of items, gunshots rang out. Khalil ran for his life.

“They began shooting directly at unarmed civilians,” he said. “The bullets were chasing us as if we were targets on a shooting range, and not just hungry people. We scattered under a hail of bullets. I got closer to death that day than a piece of bread.”

Khalil survived that quest for food — alive to starve another day instead. But at least 36 Palestinians did not, and 207 more were wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Since Israel broke its ceasefire with Hamas in mid-March, more than 875 Palestinians have been killed while seeking food.

Reporting from inside Gaza over the last few months, The Intercept observed a famine that is manufactured and an aid distribution system seemingly designed to cause more suffering and death. Amid the war, Israel has rendered Gaza inaccessible to the foreign press; American journalist Afeef Nessouli accessed the Strip by volunteering as an aid worker for a medical nonprofit and reporting in his off-hours.

Usually during war, the distribution of medical care and food to a besieged population would not be administered by any party waging war against it, much less by an illegally occupying military.
(...)
But that’s not the case in Gaza. Israel has effectively banned the biggest and longest-running aid group in the region: the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA."

@palestine @israel

Es wäre ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein, aber hatten wir nicht schon mal eine Luftbrücke für Gaza?

Können Frankreich, Deutschland und Großbritannien die bitte sofort wieder einrichten um den Druck auf Israel weiter zu erhöhen!

Continued thread

The remarks appeared to leave little to no room, at least in the short term, to resume negotiations to pause the fighting, at a time when international concern is mounting over worsening #hunger in war-shattered #Gaza.

French President Emmanuel #Macron, responding to the deteriorating #humanitarian situation in Gaza, announced overnight that Paris would become the first major Western power to recognise an #independent #PalestinianState. Britain & Germany said they were not yet ready to do so.
