The situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with children dying at alarming rates due to starvation and malnutrition. This man-made crisis, caused by Israel's blockade, has resulted in over 100 deaths, the majority of them children. The blockade prevents sufficient aid from reaching the population, leading to shortages of food, medicine, shelter, and clean water. Children are reportedly expressing a desire to die to escape the hunger. While the international community expresses outrage and calls for more aid, these efforts are deemed insufficient and insufficiently impactful by aid organizations. Israel's government, meanwhile, shows no sign of easing the blockade, with officials stating that they will not feed their enemies. The author criticizes the international community's inaction and the lack of meaningful consequences for Israel's actions. The article highlights the inadequacy of verbal condemnations and the need for stronger measures, such as ceasing military and trade relations with Israel, to pressure the government into ending the siege and allowing aid to reach the starving population. The author expresses concern about the slow response and the potential for the crisis to worsen further.
