There is a “strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas” of the northern Gaza Strip, a committee of global food security experts warned on Friday, as Israel claims to be pursuing a military offensive against Palestinian militant group Hamas in the area.

“Immediate action, within days not weeks, is required from all actors who are directly taking part in the conflict, or have influence on its conduct, to avert and alleviate this catastrophic situation,” the independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) said in a rare alert.

The warning comes just days ahead of a US deadline for Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which the UN said almost a year ago had been made “uninhabitable” by Israeli attacks, or face potential restrictions on US military aid.

      They’re not allowing aid in and are very proud of it.

      And they are indiscriminately bombing Palestine and Lebanon right now killing thousands of civilians.

        Do not mind that guy. It’s just a raging islamophobe that will defend anyone that oppresses Muslims. The name is just reminder for themselves in case they get carried away.
