Yeah that’s too long unfortunately. Hunger and lack of medical care are going to kill so many that maybe it was part of the plan all along to make it easier to deny
Why don't you fly to Tel Aviv, buy some food, and take a taxi to the border to walk into Gaza hand out food yourself?
Not a bad idea this is what the IDF should be doing.
Got no $
You're telling me that taking 2 months to build a pier as one of the largest and wealthiest armies in the world is reasonable?
Oh god crucify me for pointing out that 2 months when they’ve already been starving might be too long. Innocents don’t deserve to die, sorry for having bare minimum empathy
Food really isn't something one needs that quickly unless you've got no fat on your body. I remember reading a paper about an obese guy who (voluntarily) fasted under care of a doctor for over a year. Took vitamins, but other than that, just water.
Water, on the other hand, is really important. No water, you're dead inside a week, maybe a little longer.
You mean the water Israel has controlled, destroyed and extorted since they started the occupation in 1967? They've also irreparably contaminated ground water, bombed water infrastructure, and shut off the pipes from access to the water they take from Gaza.
Gazans are already chronically malnourished, though, not obese. And some parts of Gaza have been under occupation for months. Babies are already dying and soon children, then adults will follow.
Children have already started dying, too. For example, Yazan Kafarneh: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-children-starving-famine-warning-death-destruction-rcna141813
According to the IDF those babies are members of Hamas
But these people are not obese. They're already starving to death.

And that's from nearly three weeks ago.
