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.
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
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.
Hamas’ priority is missiles, not food or defenses.

Hamas did that, not civilian Palestinians.
No, Hamas did that.
The civilians, babies, children etc didn’t and starving them because of this is a war crime.
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.
With how averages work, that means that on one side, they have significantly less than that. This is incredibly saddening.
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.
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!
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”

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?
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.

Stop defending this by always using Hamas for everything. It’s ISRAEL that’s committing war crimes, cutting off water and food, killing journalists, UN workers, children, women AND men, wiping out entire families, starving them to death…
It’s become literally a meme: but Hamas this, Hamas that,… Only it’s not funny. The world doesn’t care anymore. THAT’S how far you’ve gone. This is their holocaust now and in the long run, nothing you say or do will wipe that out.
@Zippit it’s not funny, and in that filthy conflict, #Hamas has no moral high ground.
Or have you heard of Israelis kidnapping Palestinian Women, Children and Aid Workers in retaliation?
I’ve yet to see credible evidence of that.
Case in point: Hamas is a #SuicideCult and they don’t just loathe in self-victimization but use it shamelessly for propaganda.
Because no matter how one wants to spin their shit, they either are a #suicide #cult, #UsefulIdiots and/or both.
israel has been known to kidnap Palestinian children and women and imprison them without charges since long before Oct 7. Have you not followed this conflict at all?
Especially now israel has kidnapped more innocent Palestinians than ever, mainly on the west bank where Hamas isn’t even present.
Here ya go since you seem to know literally nothing about the condlict aside from propaganda https://www.dci-palestine.org/children_in_israeli_detention
I can’t even with you. I cried when I saw those hostages taken and being murdered and am worried every day now we’ll start seeing those grueling beheadings. I’m human just like you. I’m not greenlighting what they did.
Just stop killing civilians. That’s all we ask, treat them with the same dignity that you treat your own, maybe that way, you could’ve garnered some sympathy for your cause. Israel has gone too far with their vengeance, bloodlust and war crimes.
You selectively forget you’re at war with Hamas but aren’t hurting them, but killing check 10.000 civilians against what? 5 Hamas members dead and 5 hostages freed (1 by Israel)? In what reality does that number justify the killing of so many civilians? In what reality can’t you see the long game being played here?
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

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.

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?
Is it unreasonable to stop the collective punishment of a million children?
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.
As everyone else said, but source?
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.
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- .
