‘Open appetite’ by Netanyahu to continue ‘expansionist policies’ in region: Analysis

2,531 views Aug 23, 2025 #GazaUnderAttack #IsraeliOccupation #EndTheBlockade
Tamer Qarmout, associate professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says Israel can continue its attacks on Gaza and the blockade on urgently needed aid because it does not feel any “real threats”.

“When I say threats, [I mean] meaningful international isolation or sanctions, and because it is protected by the US veto in the UN and by a strong and powerful ally like the US,” Qarmout told Al Jazeera.

He explained that the Israeli PM’s statements about ‘Greater Israel’, which go beyond Palestine to include parts of Jordan, Syria and Egypt, and President Trump saying yesterday that the invasion of troops in Gaza City might protect the captives, are “very worrying and alarming”.

“They’re indicative of a larger project, an open appetite by Israel to really continue with its conduct, these genocidal and colonial expansionist policies in the region, and that’s the problem,” he said.

Palestinians have no choice but to see their children die of malnutrition

16,605 views Aug 17, 2025 #GazaStarvation #AlJazeeraEnglish #SaveGaza
New figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry showing 11 people have starved to death in the territory in the past 24 hours reflect the realities in Gaza.

Palestinians are unable to get food and are putting their lives at risk to try to feed their children.

The latest to have died from hunger were siblings, aged 16 and 25, who died on the same day.

We’re losing Palestinians not just from air strikes, shelling and drones, but also from malnutrition and starvation.

Why is this? Because food distribution points, upon which most Palestinians are reliant, are not operating. Hot meal kitchens where people get their daily meals are not operating any more.

Palestinians are risking their lives going to aid hubs run by the notorious GHF, risking being shot because they want to feed their families. Whatever is coming into Gaza is not enough. Most of the trucks entering are commercial trucks and food is very expensive.

The reality is devastating – Palestinians have no choice but to see their children die of malnutrition and starvation.

Israel uses ‘bureaucratic measures’ to stop NGOs from delivering aid to Gaza: Oxfam

9,376 views Aug 15, 2025 #GazaStarvation #IsraelGazaWar #GazaWar
Israel is using “bureaucratic measures to block aid, and the impact of that means that it will only deepen starvation in Gaza”, Bushra Khalidi, policy lead in the occupied Palestinian territory for Oxfam, a global charity, has told Al Jazeera.
“Most major international NGOs since the second of March have been virtually unable to deliver a single truck of life-saving supplies, and we have millions of dollars of food, medicine and essential goods from multiple NGOs that are just standing there in the regional borders, just waiting to get in,” Khalidi said.
“Israeli authorities are rejecting aid requests from these long-established NGOs. There’s been 60 plus such denials issued since July alone,” she said.
“Registration rules are demanding, extremely intrusive and [include] unsafe disclosure of Palestinian staff lists, donor information and other sensitive data. Our view is that this violates international law, data protection laws [and] ultimately it puts staff at risk,” she said.
“Gaza has become the most dangerous place for humanitarian workers to be in. We have seen systematic attacks on aid convoys, humanitarian trucks, warehouses, premises. So for us, refusing to comply with providing private information about our staff, it’s natural,” Khalidi said.

‘Only 10 percent of baby formulas, supplements needed in Gaza allowed by Israel’: Analysis

3,541 views Aug 11, 2025 #GazaStarvation #IsraelGazaWar #GazaWar
Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGOs Network, described Gaza’s starvation crisis as “a package of suffering” during an Al Jazeera interview. Over 100 children have died from acute malnutrition, with 55,000 infants lacking milk and 350,000 under-fives at risk. He condemned Israel’s aid restrictions, noting only 10% of needed supplies enter, while diseases spread due to polluted water and collapsed sanitation. Recent small aid increases are “death traps”, he argued, designed to forcibly displace Palestinians. Gaza requires 1,000 daily trucks—not the current 80—to avert famine. Without urgent action, he warned, conditions will worsen as Israel blocks tents, food, and NGO access. “This is pure starvation,” he said, demanding accountability.

Famine fears grow in Gaza as Save the Children warns of irreversible child harm

5,645 views Aug 5, 2025 #GazaStarvation #Hunger #IsraelGazaWar
Ahmad AlHendawi, Regional Director for MENA and Eastern Europe at Save the Children International, warned in an Al Jazeera interview that Gaza faces catastrophic famine conditions, with 88 children already dead from starvation and 70,000 under-fives acutely malnourished.
He described an “apocalyptic reality” where children fear both bombs and being buried alive, stressing that four months of systemic deprivation have caused irreversible harm. While recovery requires 600+ aid trucks daily, Israel’s restrictions prevent delivery, with 1,000 Palestinians killed while queueing for food.
The blockade represents a political crisis that requires an immediate ceasefire and proper humanitarian access, as mandated by international law.
Established aid mechanisms developed over 160 years are being violated, as starvation becomes weaponised.
Without urgent action, child deaths will escalate dramatically, with the situation already surpassing famine thresholds.

Over 60,000 dead have left survivors clinging to life, as one man explains: “We risk death just to ease our hunger.”

Sam Rose is acting director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza (UNRWA) which Israel officially banned last year.
He says UNRWA is ready and able to deliver lifesaving aid in Gaza, but Israeli restrictions and ongoing bombardment prevent food, water, and critical healthcare from reaching those in desperate need, especially children.

 

Former UNRWA spokesperson calls for Gaza’s land crossings to be open ’24/7′

9,286 views Jul 28, 2025 #Palestine #Gaza #UNRWA
Former UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness says Israel announced its “tactical pauses” for humanitarian purposes because the “horses of genocide and ethnic cleansing” have left the stables.
“Gaza’s land borders must immediately be opened 24/7, making these undignified airdrops unnecessary. Let’s not forget that over 100 people have been starved to death by Israel. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu must face international justice for the crime of starvation,” Gunness told Al Jazeera.
Gunness explained that Israel implements “huge obstacles” to the UN and other aid agencies.
“Israel has shown itself, time and time again, to say it’s going to be letting in aid. Then of course, it gets delayed, they get rerouted, the convoys get shot at. Once they arrive, the warehouses and the food distribution services and centres have been destroyed and damaged by Israel,” he added.

Israel’s starvation of Gaza fulfils UN genocide definition: Holocaust scholar

9,790 views Jul 25, 2025 #GazaStarvation #IsraelGazaWar #GazaWar
In an Al Jazeera interview, Omer Bartov, Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, stated Israel’s starvation campaign in Gaza meets the UN Genocide Convention’s definition of “deliberately inflicting conditions to destroy a group”. He cited ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over weaponising hunger, noting Gaza is now being “flattened into uninhabitability” rather than being a warzone. Drawing parallels to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad, Bartov emphasised starvation’s historical use in genocide, though he stressed Gaza’s crisis could be immediately alleviated if the US permitted aid entry. He warned of Israel’s explicit settler-colonial ambitions, quoting a minister’s vow to make Gaza “Jewish”, while lamenting global inaction despite mounting war crimes. Bartov predicted Israel’s apartheid system would ultimately collapse but expressed pessimism about Palestinian survival under current ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. He concluded that while global public opinion is shifting, political elites still enable Israel’s genocide, leaving Palestinian national continuity in grave peril.

And it will be worse tomorrow if the situation doesn’t change,” he told Al Jazeera.

Rose said UNRWA staff members in Gaza – from teachers to nurses, doctors and sanitation workers – are “carrying on because they have no choice”.

“Many of the staff that I spoke to earlier this week have yet again been displaced as a result of the evacuation orders in central Gaza but were then going back to work. And all of them are hungry,” Rose said.

In an Al Jazeera interview, Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaisib, Deputy Medical Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders (MSF), described Gaza’s unprecedented starvation crisis, where even medical staff face acute hunger.
Speaking from Khan Younis, he detailed collapsed healthcare with surgeries performed on floors and critical malnutrition treatments exhausted since Israel’s March blockade.
Over 50% of Gaza’s children now lack basic nutrition, while pregnant women show severe starvation symptoms, with medical operations likely to cease within weeks.
He emphasised Israel’s weaponisation of aid has crammed displaced families into 14% of Gaza amid rampant disease and undrinkable water.
His testimony followed 100 NGOs condemning starvation tactics that force aid workers to risk gunfire in food lines. The MSF official warned that a continued blockade means “there will be none left to save”, demanding urgent border reopening.
He concluded that Gaza’s suffering exceeds all previous crises, with systemic collapse threatening the entire population.

The group, which includes Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and Oxfam, say “mass starvation” is spreading across Gaza and that their colleagues in the enclave are wasting away from hunger.

The NGOs said governments must stop waiting for permission to act.

Mara Bernasconi is the regional communications and advocacy manager for Humanity and Inclusion UK.
She says they’re watching their colleagues in Gaza starve from a “man-made humanitarian crisis”.

Mass starvation is spreading in Gaza. Humanitarian agencies are warning of “new and astonishing levels of desperation”.
More than 100 Palestinians have starved to death over the past 21 months – most since March when Israel reinstated its total blockade. Most of those who died were children.
The World Food Programme says 90,000 women and children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
