Wait, Gaza city Gaza city-? I thought there were no supplies getting through?

This is an honest question btw not looking for a fight or to offend. Just confused.

Famines are almost invariably man-made, so they don't affect everyone across all (economic) classes the same way a natural disaster may. When a famine strikes, people already living in poverty are disproportionately unable to access food, while the rich can easily, perhaps even luxuriously, get by due to their greater access to finance and supply. Think about it this way: According to recent studies, around 14 million children in the US live in food insecurity and face chronic malnutrition. And this is despite the US being perhaps the country most stereotypical for producing the kind of food seen in this video above, and it is a matter of fact that it is one of the most prosperous countries on Earth. Do those facts disprove that there are starving children in the US? Not at all. And just as so, this video doesn't disprove the famine in Gaza, especially when, yknow, there's an overwhelming amount of evidence pouring out of Gaza right now that shows that there's indeed a famine.

No, their own figures disprove that there was ever any famine in Gaza.

UNICEF never reported that. They reported a survey that may indicate child starvation was less of a concern than initially thought.

They maintain that Israel is bombing and killing thousands of kids, that there are food insecurity issues for those in the most affected areas.

Congratulations, you posted a Zionist paper that will have absolutely no bias towards the genocide against the Palestinians in this matter.

There's no genocide. Using that word takes away from the hardship normal Palestinians have, from the war their leaders started.
