With the full support of the country I’m from and the country I’m living in. Disgusting.
Starving everyone to death is the plan.
He was a baby, a baby starved to death because of Israel's genocide.
Zionists right now
Israelis: we're protecting him, Hamas is in the food!
Hopefully Andy Ogles, representative who said kill them all, and Biden are happy their policy of no ceasefire is getting their desired result.
Genocide Joe, this is on you too.
Israel is trying really hard to repeat their own history.
Israel never got occupied, blockaded, and starved? Israel doesn't represent all Israelis, and certainly not all Jewish people. Despite how much Israel tries to claim so. Once Palestine was chosen, Zionism became an ethno-nationalist project founded on settler colonialism
I'm an idiot (see username)... but:
The baby has not been fed any milk for days, as baby milk is totally absent in Gaza.
.... don't babies drink breast milk? I'm so confused
If the mother is also suffering from malnutrition (highly likely) then she probably can't produce any breast milk.
Mom needs food to produce milk. Also, if the baby is on formula they can get trapped on it, unable to return to breast milk.
It's not always an option to breastfeed a baby (mother is taking certain meds or they just don't produce a healthy supply are a couple main reasons), and that's why baby formula is a thing.
Presumably they're referring to baby formula and/or imported (human) milk. This would be necessary if there isn't a parent who can breastfeed, or they can't produce enough to meet the baby's needs.
Not every single mother can breastfeed and if we do, we need to increase a lot our water and food intake in order to have the both supply and for it to have the right nutriments. If this baby’s mum is still alive considering everything going there, with the food and water shortage, it’s quite unlikely she’s lactating.
Just a simple Google search reveals that 14000 humanitarian aid trucks entered the strip since the start of the war but it seems a lot of them were vandalized/raided by civilians and Palestinian criminal groups trying to capitalize on the desperation of people.
So it is not a complete siege with NO AID as the OP says. Just to bring another view on this echo chamber of "Israel =evil".
That is israel's claimed number. Which is almost double the amount that Egypt claims has went through their border.
Since virtually nothing passes through Ker Shalom, the number you are reading is almost certainly a lie.
Please make yourself comfortable and hang around a little while in the "echo chamber".

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
