Gaza has been an open air prison for decades. Israel has always controlled what/who comes in and out. They are blocking aid, including food trucks. And of course, it's our taxes that paid for all of Israel's machinery, military, trucks, and vans that enforce this open air prison. 
Imagine an army captured the city of Philadelphia, fenced it in, closed its waterfront and opened just a few gates for supply trucks. Now imagine the army bombed Philadelphia’s hospitals, razed land used to grow food, barred fishing and closed those gates to all but an intermittent trickle of aid. If you saw news footage of children dying of malnutrition and read U.N. warnings of mass starvation, would you doubt those reports? If the military blocking the food trucks was using U.S. public money to buy weapons, would you question the need to stop the flow of arms and demand that the military let aid in?

Since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israeli civilians, which constituted crimes against humanity, Israeli authorities have used starvation as a weapon of war in varying degrees, intermittently blocking all aid to the Gaza Strip, which resembles Philadelphia in size and population. Since Israel ended the aid shutdown in May, the government has permitted supplies to enter the territory in quantities catastrophically insufficient for its approximately 2 million residents. The Israeli military also razed croplandbanned fishing, destroyed hospitals and water infrastructure and cut electricity, rendering people almost entirely dependent on the obstructed external supplies. An estimated thousands or tens of thousands of people have died from complications related to the supply blockage, including malnutrition, dehydration and disease. Aid agencies are begging to be allowed to deliver food sitting in nearby warehouses or waiting just outside Gaza.

Israel has controlled the movement of goods into Gaza since 1967 and, in the 1990s, built fences and walls around it, making residents dependent on the Israeli military opening crossings, in order to eat. What we are seeing play out now in recent months is weaponization of this control, with increasingly deadly results.

Everything they falsely accused to Germans of, they are doing to the Gazans.

And the sissies on this board will call you a nazi for questioning it.

Special starving people?

In 2023, between 713 and 757 million people worldwide experienced hunger, which is roughly one in eleven people. This number has remained stubbornly high for three consecutive years, and is significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. The situation is particularly dire in Africa, where one in five people face hunger.

  • However, improvements in education in Africa are progressing slower than elsewhere in the world both in terms of its level and quality. Africa’s educational funnel is leaking. Despite fairly high enrolment figures at the primary level, few students complete the full educational journey to graduate from upper secondary school to enter tertiary education or vocational training with confidence.
  • Students in sub-Saharan Africa consistently perform more poorly than the rest of the world, with little foreseeable improvement. The quality of education in the public schooling system is hampered by children being unprepared for learning because of poverty and malnutrition, teachers’ lack of skills, limited resources and facilities, and poor management.
  • In sub-Saharan Africa, gender parity in education has improved over time but still trails the world’s average and regions such as North Africa and South America.
Education is the key:

---------------------------DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Five starving children at a Gaza City hospital were wasting away, and nothing the doctors tried was working. The basic treatments for malnourishment that could save them had run out under Israel’s blockade. The alternatives were ineffective. One after another, the babies and toddlers died over four days.In greater numbers than ever, children hollowed up by hunger are overwhelming the Patient’s Friends Hospital, the main emergency center for malnourished kids in northern Gaza.The deaths last weekend also marked a change: the first seen by the center in children who had no preexisting conditions. Symptoms are getting worse, with children too weak to cry or move, said Dr. Rana Soboh, a nutritionist. In past months, most improved, despite supply shortages, but now patients stay longer and don’t get better, she said.

it is totally disgusting.

trump should stop all US taxpayer money all 3 billion dollars to israel  until the starvation is over.

but he won't. instead he invites netnahu to the white house. it would be like fdr inviting hitler to the white house in the middle of the holocaust.

This tells a different story. 

We already know that Hamas, often aided by UN agencies, has weaponized humanitarian aid. It steals and resells supplies to the Palestinian population at exorbitant prices, then uses the profits to fund and recruit terrorists. Israel's Channel 12 reported that Hamas made half a billion dollars from reselling aid, and The Washington Post recently published an exposé on Hamas's deteriorating financial position due to its inability to maintain control over and profit from that aid. Palestinians who refuse to comply with Hamas's grip on the aid economy risk being threatened, detained, or even executed.

How Hamas, UN are preventing aid from reaching Gazans

I am not sure how this relates. The OP is about Israel deliberately starving the people of Gaza. Bringing up African starvation doesn't negate the acts of Israel.

Starvation and hunger is a worthy topic for discussion wherever it is happening.

I'm only pointing out you select a small fraction of one percent of starving people to talk about.

There are over 100 armed conflicts going on right now around the globe. There's plenty of misery to go around.

Vegas can comprehend just fine. I'm just being a dick and pointing out this thread only serves one purpose.
