A mother: "may God curse anyone who was able to help, and didn’t.”

This is a devastating report by CBC The National’s Chris Brown and videographers in Gaza City documenting the final days of a 17 year old boy as he dies of starvation while the Israeli government claims talk of famine are “fake”.

This is the world's shame. Canada must sanction Israel for its ongoing genocide, famine, and colonial destruction of Palestine and Palestinians.

“Belgium to recognize Palestine, sanction Israel”

https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-to-recognize-palestine-sanction-israel/

But still “only … if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group ‘no longer has any role in managing Palestine’”

How odd: nothing about disbanding the IDF and ensuring that the Israeli government that is checks notes COMMITTING GENOCIDE no longer has any role managing Israel?

“In the meantime, Belgium will also impose ‘firm sanctions’ on the Israeli government, Prévot said. The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.”

This part sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it.

“If you ask people who study the topic, they will tell you that a modern famine is a man-made disaster. Natural disasters can play a part. For example, flooding and drought can destroy crops, but relief agencies and wealthy governments can now get aid where it needs to go. So it is ultimately war and political will that keeps enough food from being grown or delivered in places like Ethiopia and Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Haiti and North Korea and, of course, now in Gaza.”

"Why can Jonathan Greenblatt lie with impunity? Because the mainstream media doesn’t hold pro-Israel officials responsible for statements that are blatantly untrue.

The American media is directly implicated in the horror that is happening both in Gaza and in the United States under the Trump administration, because they allow people like Jonathan Greenblatt to lie and get away with it."

"The CPJ said in August that Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza was 'a deliberate and systematic attempt to cover up Israel’s actions'."

"Five journalists were among at least 20 people killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser hospital in southern Gaza, health officials said. ...

At least 193 Palestinian journalists have been killed since 7 October 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), more than the number who died globally in the previous three years."

"International condemnation for Israel’s conduct in Gaza has grown to an unprecedented level as civilian conditions grow steadily worse and as Israel appears no closer to its ultimate goal of eradicating the terror group Hamas in the region."

Famine à Gaza: «À cause du manque de nourriture, les plaies des patients pourrissent»

L’état de #famine dans la bande de #Gaza a été déclaré vendredi par l’ONU. Le responsable en est le gouvernement israélien. Les humanitaires préviennent de la catastrophe depuis des mois. Les conséquences en sont très concrètes. Entretien avec le coordinateur de MSF dans le territoire palestinien.

The IPC, the world’s leading authority on food crises, says the Gaza Strip’s largest city is gripped by famine.

Israel, which is causing the famine through starvation, says it's "an outright lie. Israel does not have a policy of starvation.”

UN OCHA | Please read the IPC report, cover to cover. Read it in sorrow and in anger. Not as words and numbers but as names and lives. Be in no doubt that this is irrefutable testimony.

It is a #famine . The #Gaza Famine.

It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by #Israel
