Gaza: Hunger Begins to Claim More Lives than Bombs!
BY: Dr. Hana Saada
ALGIERS- Testimonies are piling up, each more dramatic and worrying than the last. For the past few days, it is malnutrition, and even the lack of clean water, that are claiming the lives of Gaza civilians far more than the bombs continuously raining down on them from Zionist occupying forces.
Many NGOs and associations active in the field had anticipated this immense tragedy and sounded the alarm in time. Now, it’s Jean-Pierre Delomier, Deputy Director of Operations for Handicap International, who is speaking out in a poignant interview given this Sunday to the newspaper L’Humanité. According to the United Nations, famine is nearly inevitable for the 2.2 million inhabitants. For Jean-Pierre Delomier, who has been on the ground, everything is lacking: food, water, medicine.
The tragedy is absolute. Completely immeasurable. “Before October 7, 600 trucks entered Gaza every day to meet the needs of the population. Today, at the Rafah (Egypt) and Kerem Shalom (the Zionist entity) border crossings in the southeast, there is an average of 90 trucks per day, according to statistics from the World Food Programme’s logistics cluster.”
the Zionist entity, with the active and passive complicity of many Western leaders, is slowly but surely eliminating, in excruciating suffering, the over two million Palestinians in Gaza. This, if not by forcibly deporting them to neighboring countries, as has already happened with the first Nakba of 1947.
“According to information we have in the northern Gaza Strip, where there are still around 700,000 people, one in six children under the age of 2 suffers from acute malnutrition, of which about 3% are affected by the most severe form of wasting and require immediate treatment. Two children under 2 months old have died of starvation in recent days. This situation is unprecedented, as the entire population of the Gaza Strip is in phase 3 out of 5 of the IPC, an index that determines food security.
Some regions are at 4 and 5. This is the highest proportion of people facing food insecurity ever recorded. It’s unheard of. What I saw most of all, as soon as we went out, were clusters of children and adolescents asking us for food. I also noticed a great hardness in the eyes, even in the youngest.” This is why the executioner Netanyahu, through his crimes, is preparing for another Al-Aqsa Deluge, as Ariel Sharon, Golda Meir, and others did before him. “This closed territory, truly hermetic, has been systematically bombed for five months. During the day, there may be no bombings, but at night, you can hear artillery fire.
We are constantly flown over by drones, which make a buzzing sound. So, we constantly know the environment we are in. As for humanitarian aid, we can climb onto the roof of our offices and, from up there, we can see Egypt and the Philadelphia corridor, the southern border. And we know that, behind this border, there are kilometers of trucks waiting to enter.” Yes, kilometers of trucks waiting for days, weeks, to cross the border and prevent these poor souls from dying.
