Many in Gaza facing 'famine-like conditions', UN's health agency says | BBC News
The UN's health agency says a significant proportion of Gaza's population is facing catastrophic hunger and famine-like conditions - after eight months of war - thousands of children have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition.
More than 37,000 people have been killed, and many hundreds of thousands more injured or displaced in Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
The war began after Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 others back to Gaza as hostages.

1:57: "there is one report a child died yesterday because of like hunger and there is tens of children facing that." Any child dying of malnutrition is heartbreaking, but aren't the small numbers he cited here surprising? Gaza has a population of 2.2 million, and the headline talks of "famine-like conditions." I was expecting him to say that many thousands of children were dying, not just one yesterday and "tens" (not "tens of thousands," but "tens") facing it in the future. I was also surprised that these small numbers didn't warrant a follow-up question from the interviewer. Where was the famous BBC aggressiveness in questioning?

@@zainubumar Well, in this interview, he talked about only one who had died, not 30, and the interviewer didn’t even ask him about it. I’m not saying that 30, or even 1, is OK. However, Gaza is a country of over 2.2 million, of which half are said to be children. Even 30 out of 1.1 million is less than 0.003%. If the total dth rate from hunger in Gz were the same as in Egypt, where there is no war, you’d expect 88 dths from hunger per year, just from ordinary poverty and neglect - it’s terrible, but normal. So, how can you conclude “forced famine” from 30 dths in eight months of war? This narrative needs some serious questioning, and we didn’t see it in this interview.

@canitbethat these are 30 children who died just from starvation in the past 2 months. Most deaths are not counted, and we have no count of older Palestinians either. There are numerous reports of women having stillbirths from malnutrition and even more reports of people dying of normal injuries because the starvation exacerbates their injuries. So many children will never recover from this lack of nutrition, even if famine ends today! But also, very importantly, most of those starving end up dying from bombs! When every doctor, aid worker, human rights groups, journalist says there's famine and the pictures and videos show starving babies...maybe there isn't a conspiracy theory to explore 🤷♀️

@@nvmtt1403 Well, if you redefine "famine" to mean "anyone dying of starvation," then there is probably famine in every country on earth, as there is probably no country with a zero rate of starvation. This isn't what the word usually means, though. The UN WFP, for example, has specific criteria that Gaza doesn't come anywhere close to meeting (which is presumably why the UN calls the conditions "famine-like" rather than "famine.") These include, for example, a *daily* death rate of at least 2 per 10,000 people. (So "famine" across Gaza would imply 440 *per day*.)

Hamas is a creature of Israel. Israel helped hamas to create its political wing and come into power in gaza in order to divide the palestinians and weaken the secular PLO/Fatah. That was their strategy, openly stated by former and current israeli officials. And of course. For the actions of Israel right now, only Israel is responsible. You are responsible for your own actions, no one else. It would be extremely weak to not accept your responsibility and always try to blame others for your bad actions.

It seem beyond belief, even far-fetched but I am beginning to think that the UN is in a complicit relationship with Hamas. The continual exaggeration of the real position in Gaza and the fact they will not outright condemn Hamas for their atrocities and theft of UN aid is highly suspicious. There needs to be an independent enquiry, with representatives outside of the UN agegncy itself, into the UN conduct since the 7th of October.

Still zero evidence of any "starving" Gazans. They've been "starving" for seven months now. When are we going to see any actual evidence of noticeable weight loss in these people? Oxfam claims that Gazans are surviving on only 200 calories per day. That would mean the average Gazan should have lost over 40 kilograms (90 lbs) since the start of the war. If anyone wants to check my math on that they're more than welcome to do so. (1800 calories deficit per day x 210 days / 7700 (amount of calories in 1 kg fat).
