See GenMac, regardless of whether you believe what you say due to some cognitive dissonance, stop revolving on this issue. Hundreds of thousands are starving in Gaza. Show some respect.
Thank you
AtorBoltox, regardless of whether you believe some points have been made in this thread, Gaza today has more people in Phase V than Somalia had at the peak of its famine. In casextou din't know what's "Phase V", you can read the article linked below.

How are Hunger Crises Measured?
Humanitarian language around famine tends to be cautious and highly technical – and sometimes difficult for people outside the field to decipher. Humanitarian professionals use a 5-phase scale to characterize the severity of food crises, similar to better-known systems like the hurricane early warning system. And like the hurricane warning scale, the famine warning system produces highly rigorous forecasts built on decades of experience and research.
A formal declaration of famine (typically made either by the affected country’s government or by the United Nations) hinges on reaching Phase V on the 5-phase IPC scale, specifically once a crisis has breached three quantitative thresholds. Breaching one or two of these thresholds is enough to characterize a population as Phase V, but a formal declaration typically requires evidence that all have been surpassed:
Hunger: At least one in five households facing an extreme lack of food, meaning that their daily consumption consistently falls far below minimum daily nutritional requirements.
Malnutrition: At least 30% of children under 5 are suffering from acute malnutrition.
Death: At least 2 people per 10,000 population are dying per day from starvation or related health problems.
Famine in Gaza is no longer "looming" or "imminent". Famine in Gaza is underway, says the article. The window to avert catastrophe has been closed and the question now is whether tens or hundreds of thousands are going to die*.
I will add this famine is induced by those conducting a genocide campaign in Gaza. You should show some respect for the innocent victims. In case you think asking for that is "moralising crap", I'm not hoing to waste more time. Bye
* The death toll of the Gaza Genocide may reach hundreds of thousands adding famine, induced disease and massive bombing.
