The Gaza director for the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says the average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour that the U.N. had stockpiled in the region.
Two pieces of bread and untreated brackish water that they can’t even boil. Few (if any) working toilets, no sanitation, surrounded by rotting human remains and overflowing sewers, bugs feasting on crushed human corpses and open sewage, and everyone covered in wounds and burns.
It’s turning from a concentration camp into a death camp.
“Never Again”
Israel must be so proud, murdering starving and defenseless people.
Don’t forget that half of them are under 18 as well!
Trust me, they are.
Zionists are scum, through and through.
but but, terrorism !!!
!sarcasm
Hamas’ priority is missiles, not food or defenses.
They claim it is in response to the attack by Hamas, but their previous actions lead me to believe they were just looking for an excuse.
defenseless people.
They fired over 8500 rockets at Israel in the last three weeks.
No, Hamas did that.
The civilians, babies, children etc didn’t and starving them because of this is a war crime.
Hamas did that, not civilian Palestinians.
There has to be a ceasefire and humanitarian conduit opened. It’s too much.
If your out there committing war crimes faster than the news can keep up, its a bit too late to talk.
I think this would happen if the major governments of the world were actually run by their people instead of just the ruling class.
That bread? Surprisingly, contains Hamas.
Arabic bread
is that pita bread or something else?
It’s a kind of pita bread, yeah. It’s the one that’s empty on the inside.
As a reminder, Hamas has plenty of food. Is it unreasonable to ask them to release that food to the people of Gaza?
It’s far more reasonable to ask Israel to allow the people of Gaza to have food. Israel, unlike Hamas, has enough for everyone.
It is, in fact, unreasonable to ask Hamas to somehow feed the entire population of Gaza. Hamas has enough for a few months for a few thousand people, Gaza is several orders of magnitude larger and they don’t have enough for everyone to last more than a day or two. Then, once the food was entirely gone, Israel would roll over them with zero resistance because the fighters are starving.
Place the blame where it belongs: the genocidal settler-occupation regime.
it’s faar more reasonable to avoid resorting to sapping just to kidnap and attack civilians you don’t like
So why has Israel kidnapped and murdered so many civilians?
Sounds like an Israeli talking point. Show us the sources for your claims?
Before the war broke off, Gaza is already impoverished by the blockade of Israel. Before the war broke off, the unemployment rate is 46.6%. Before the war broke off, Gaza heavily relied on foreign aid to make it through.
Hamas has plenty of food enough for their fighter, they did not have plenty of food enough for the whole nation.
If you believe Hamas failed their own people, then there’s no reason to block or hinder humanitarian aid to help the people, because charity is the failure of the government’s responsibility. Israel make it even harder for charity to work.
your only logic is blame someone else for being a murderer
I’m not sure how you end up in that conclusion, it must be a tiring mental gymnastics session.
Oh, they have enough food for 2+ million people?
Why are you expecting a terrorist group to do something like that? Weird thing to expect. It’s more reasonable to expect the actual sovereign country to stop starving hundreds of thousands of people.
Hamas: 20,000-25,000 to 50,000 at most.
Gaza: 2 million+
Yes, totally the food they are hoarding for their fighters could totally feed 2 million people. Since exponential functions are hard for this user, this is 1-3% of the population. That much food, even with extra surplus, wouldn’t last a day.
I can feel my own brain matter leaking while reading your take.
Is it unreasonable to stop the collective punishment of a million children?
As everyone else said, but source?
Shit man so does Putin, go ask him for some you got this down, you built the most diffrent, Why you not solve all these probems on your own with your rugged individualism -as a reminder- .
@stopthatgirl7 Meanwhile #Hamas has bunkered food and fuel and water for months…
-
For a couple thousand people that make them up, not hundreds of thousands of civilians
-
Hamas is a terrorist group. What do they have to do with a sovereign nation starving thousands of people?
hundreds of thousands of civilians
It’s even more absurd! Millions of civilians. Gaza has 2.2 million fucking people, and they’re all fucking starving.
Hamas has an entire humanitarian arm. It’s one of the main reasons they have as much power as they do.
Several countries actually differentiate the separate parts of Hamas as well, recognizing that the humanitarian aid section is separate from the portion that fights instead of lumping everything together as if everything is black and white.
@halcyoncmdr @Silverseren Quite right. Hamas is a political organisation, and recognised as such by many (but not the Zionist supporting West). The Oct 7th attacks were carried out by the military wing of Hamas, not its politicians. I am unsure as to the level of integration between the 2 parts.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour the United Nations had stockpiled in the region, yet the main refrain now being heard in the street is “Water, water,” the Gaza director for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said Friday.
In addition, he said, cooking gas that was brought into Gaza from Egypt by the private sector before the war is increasingly in short supply.
Aid organizations like UNRWA “are not going to be able to step in and replicate the network of distribution by the private sector for this essential item,” he said.
White said close to 600,000 people are sheltering in 149 UNRWA facilities, most of them schools, but the agency has lost contact with many in the north, where Israel is carrying intense ground and air operations following Hamas’ surprise Oct. 7 attacks.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has repeatedly called for a full cease-fire, and Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. ambassador, criticized Griffiths for talking about humanitarian pauses, something the United States is also urging.
He said a cease-fire is essential to save lives, saying that “almost 50% of all the structures in the Gaza Strip” have been destroyed by Israel and the situation for Palestinians “is beyond comprehension and beyond description.”
The original article contains 771 words, the summary contains 218 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

factoid actualy just statistical error. average palestinian eats 0 pieces of bread per day. Breads Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 190,000 each hour, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
