UN Relief Chief Says Famine In Gaza ‘Around The Corner’

 

CNN: Famine in Gaza ‘around the corner,’ as people face ‘highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded,’ UN relief chief says 

Famine is “around the corner” as people in Gaza face the “highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded,” according to UN emergency relief chief Martin Griffiths. 

Citing a death toll in the tens of thousands, attacks on medical facilities and a lack of functioning hospitals, Griffiths said in a statement issued Friday that Gaza had become “a place of death and despair.”

“Hope has never been more elusive,” he added. 

A public health disaster is unfolding as infectious diseases spread in overcrowded shelters as sewers spill over, Griffiths said, adding that around 180 Palestinian women “are giving birth daily amidst this chaos.”

Don’t worry WNU Editor! The planes are being loaded with refugees/new liberal voters and will be voting here faster than you can blink an eye. I hope half of them resettle in Montreal. That French liberal city is a nuisance to the rest of Canada.

how many times have I heard this dire warning for the last 3 months. I would think it is possible but this sounds like more anti-Israel propaganda.

No, its not Rwanda, its more like Somalia. Hamas is no different than that Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid back in 1993. (Black Hawk Down) Just on a much larger scale.

(most of the Hamas bosses are worth over $100 million each - paid for by US and EU taxpayers via the UN)


HAMAS,
REVENUE,

I, too, find delight and happiness in the starvation of tens of thousands of people.

I'm a normal person.

Nice, then you don't feel the need to go there and cook for them, because you'd do that otherwise, obviously. Good boy.

Well then they should prioritize feeding themselves

Hans Persson said...

Exactly my point. If the west could get their thumbs out from each others asses and stop this nonsense with aid. All these conflicts would stop pretty fast because the people would realize where their priorities lies.

But no.

Hans Persson said...

Instead they just lay on the war torn streets and request help from the mess they created. While blaming everyone else but themselves on how and why they got there. Like babies. Then when some of these people get out of that situation by migrating elsewhere, they wanna redo everything again within the new host country.

Its a loop.

We all know what I'm talking about.
