In the last week of July 2025, the United Nations made it official:
Gaza is now the hungriest place on the planet.
Not Yemen. Not Somalia. Not Afghanistan.
Gaza.
The same Gaza that once had bustling schools, olive groves, laughter in alleyways. Now reduced to the silence of empty stomachs, mass graves, and the smell of death under collapsed concrete.
And yet—the world turns away.
Because this isn’t just famine. It’s a famine manufactured, maintained, and made invisible—by powerful states, complicit institutions, and a media too sanitized to show the truth.
Famine By Design
This hunger isn’t the product of drought or natural disaster.
It is the outcome of siege, blockade, and the deliberate targeting of infrastructure that sustains life—water, food convoys, hospitals, bakeries.
In just six months:
- 100% of Gaza’s 2.2 million people are now food insecure.
- Over 500,000 children face severe malnutrition.
- UN trucks are regularly bombed, blocked, or rerouted by Israeli authorities.
- Humanitarian workers are killed with impunity.
- And even powdered milk is labeled a “security threat.”
This is not a crisis.
This is a strategy.
After This, Don’t Call Us Civilized
After this, let’s stop pretending.
We are not civilized.
We are not living in the 21st century in any moral or ethical sense.
We are not truly part of the most educated, hyper-connected, and technologically advanced era in human history.
Because none of it matters—
When a starving child can still die on live broadcast, and the world argues whether outrage is “balanced.”
When we have satellites that can see through clouds, but not the empty stomachs of 2 million people.
When we debate the “complexity” of mass hunger as if genocide were a scheduling issue.
We are not better than the 18th century.
We are merely more polite in our barbarism, more articulate in our excuses, more efficient in our cruelty.
Just like imperial powers of old, the strong still crush the weak—only now, it’s livestreamed.
And the rest of the world—
Still watches, not with swords, but with shrinking screens and shrinking consciences.
When Starvation Becomes a Policy, Silence Becomes Complicity
Every time the UN releases another horrifying statistic, world leaders issue statements. They call for "restraint" while fueling the fire with arms, aid, and vetoes.
Every dollar spent on remembrance museums, every tear shed over genocides of the past, is mockery when we enable the same crimes today.
You cannot claim to love justice, children, peace—
And remain silent when the most documented genocide of our time unfolds in real time.
History will remember Gaza—not just for its suffering, but for how shamelessly the world let it happen.
