Starving Gaza: How Silence Is Enabling a Genocide in Real Time

Gaza: Starving a Nation in Broad Daylight — and the World Must Act Now

Seven weeks.
Zero aid.
Two million lives on the brink.

Gaza is not just suffering — it is being starved. Deliberately.
In full view of the world, an entire population is being pushed into famine, death, and despair.

No humanitarian aid or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for over seven agonizing weeks.
This is now the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced — a man-made catastrophe unfolding before our eyes.

The evidence is clear and horrifying:

All 25 WFP-supported bakeries in Gaza have been forced to shut down. No wheat. No fuel. No bread.
WFP food parcels — intended to last two weeks — have been completely exhausted.
Safe drinking water has run dry, leaving families to scavenge scraps to burn just to cook a basic meal.
Food prices have exploded by up to 1,400%.
Hospitals are collapsing without medicine, electricity, or clean water.

And yet, just beyond Gaza’s sealed borders, hope sits idle:
More than 116,000 metric tons of food aid, enough to feed a million people for four months, are ready.
Nearly 3,000 aid trucks, packed and prepared by the United Nations and humanitarian partners, are waiting.
Waiting — because Israel refuses to let them in.

This is not an unfortunate side effect of war.
This is not collateral damage.
This is intentional, calculated starvation.

"Hunger is spreading and deepening — deliberate and man-made," says UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.
"Gaza has become a land of desperation… humanitarian aid is being used as a bargaining chip and a weapon of war."

Two million human beings — overwhelmingly women and children — are being subjected to collective punishment.
A mass atrocity is unfolding in real time, and the world’s silence is becoming complicity.

A Final Warning: Time Is Running Out

To the people of Europe, America, Asia, Africa, and beyond:

This is not just another tragedy.
This is a slow-motion extermination — and the window to save lives is closing fast.

Even if the borders were opened tomorrow, many in Gaza have now reached such critical malnutrition levels that full refeeding could kill them.
Refeeding syndrome — a fatal reaction when severely starved bodies are suddenly given normal amounts of food — will claim countless lives if urgent, careful intervention does not happen immediately.

In other words:

If we do not act now, even unlimited food aid later may come too late.

The Time for Action Is Not Tomorrow — It’s Now

To the people of conscience across the world:

You have the power to act.

You have the power to speak.

You have the power to demand:

That the siege be lifted immediately.
That humanitarian aid flows freely, without conditions.
That the collective punishment of civilians ends once and for all.

Governments are choosing silence, calculation, and delay.
But your voice, your outrage, your action can break that silence.

This is not a call for charity.
This is a call for basic humanity.
For the right of a child to eat.
For the right of a mother to soothe her hungry baby with something more than empty hands.

History will not ask what you thought.
It will ask what you did — or did not do — when Gaza cried out for help.

Do not wait for the mass graves.
Do not wait for history books to write another chapter of shame.

Rise now. Protest. Share. Pressure. Donate. Amplify.

Because for Gaza’s starving children, there is no more time to lose.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed “ I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant. ” That’s not a horror-film script. That’s not medieval history. That is the testimony of an Australian medic standing in a Gaza hospital in 2025, describing what it means to “ practice medicine ” under Israeli bombardment. A nine-months-pregnant woman , decapitated , her body torn open so that the child she carried could be pulled out lifeless — and somehow this is still not enough to shake the comfortable democracies of the West into anything resembling a conscience. We should probably give the Nobel Prize for Creative Euphemism to the politicians who still call this “self-defense.” After all, there’s nothing quite as defensive as severing the head of an expectant mother and forcing foreign doctors to deliver her dead child in the rubble of what used to be a hospital . Bravo, civilization . The tragedy is not just the atrocity itself. It’s the smug perfo...

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Century of Complicity in Disguise.

So we’ve reached this moment: Keir Starmer’s UK “ recognises the State of Palestine. ” Applause lines up. Speeches made. Headlines dazzled. But behind the pomp, the guns, the exports, the intelligence, the training — history rings out in mocking laughter. Because Britain has been complicit since day one. This recognition is not redemption . It’s theatre. 1. The Original Sin: Balfour Declaration Let’s go back. Because if you don’t know your history, you’ll be fooled by the future. On 2 November 1917 , Arthur James Balfour (Britain’s Foreign Secretary) wrote to Lord Rothschild, and officially declared: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object , it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine , or the rights and political sta...

Gaza’s Medical Apocalypse: Numbers, Neglect, and the Farce of “Access”

If you ever needed proof that statistics can be more damning than bombs, look at Gaza’s health crisis . Behind the headlines and hashtags lies a cascade of bodies and broken systems. We have numbers, we have reports, we have PDFs— and yet the world stares, unmoved, at the collapse. Below is your ruthless, numbers-soaked guide to the suffering —and the institutional failure—behind Gaza’s medical implosion . 1. The Health System Is Already Dead. We’re Just Counting the Corpse. According to WHO, “The Gaza Strip faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with rising mortality and widespread displacement.” Between 1 January and 31 August 2024 , local health authorities reported 18,900 deaths and 38,916 injuries . Women, children, and the elderly account for over 50 % of fatal casualties . More than 53 % of Gaza’s 36 hospitals were non-functional as of August 2024, and many of the partially functioning ones lacked adequate water or relied entirely on fuel generators. ...

The End of Zionism? Welcome to the Funeral Nobody Wants to Admit Is Overdue

Of course. Haaretz recently published an opinion piece by Ithamar Handelman -Smith titled “ Some Say It’s the End of Zionism, and I Say That’s All Right .” And what impeccable timing: as Israel carries out a near-two-year campaign of siege, famine, and bombardment in Gaza — slaughtering families, burying aid workers with their ambulances, and literally starving children to death — someone in Israel finally whispers the unspeakable: maybe Zionism, that 20th-century project of “ Jewish salvation ,” has outlived its moral shelf life. Bravo. The house is burning, bodies are scattered in the street, and the philosopher shows up with a garden hose . Zionism: Success Story or Crime Scene? Handelman-Smith argues that Zionism achieved its success : a Jewish state, a safe haven, a fortress against the ghosts of Europe’s crimes . But like every “ success story ” drenched in other people’s blood , it didn’t age well. What began as refuge turned into domination; what was called “ ...

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...
