The Gaza director for the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says the average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour that the U.N. had stockpiled in the region.

Two pieces of bread and untreated brackish water that they can’t even boil. Few (if any) working toilets, no sanitation, surrounded by rotting human remains and overflowing sewers, bugs feasting on crushed human corpses and open sewage, and everyone covered in wounds and burns.

It’s turning from a concentration camp into a death camp.

Hamas’ priority is missiles, not food or defenses.

They claim it is in response to the attack by Hamas, but their previous actions lead me to believe they were just looking for an excuse.

No, Hamas did that.

The civilians, babies, children etc didn’t and starving them because of this is a war crime.

There has to be a ceasefire and humanitarian conduit opened. It’s too much.

I think this would happen if the major governments of the world were actually run by their people instead of just the ruling class.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour the United Nations had stockpiled in the region, yet the main refrain now being heard in the street is “Water, water,” the Gaza director for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said Friday.

In addition, he said, cooking gas that was brought into Gaza from Egypt by the private sector before the war is increasingly in short supply.

Aid organizations like UNRWA “are not going to be able to step in and replicate the network of distribution by the private sector for this essential item,” he said.

White said close to 600,000 people are sheltering in 149 UNRWA facilities, most of them schools, but the agency has lost contact with many in the north, where Israel is carrying intense ground and air operations following Hamas’ surprise Oct. 7 attacks.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has repeatedly called for a full cease-fire, and Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. ambassador, criticized Griffiths for talking about humanitarian pauses, something the United States is also urging.

He said a cease-fire is essential to save lives, saying that “almost 50% of all the structures in the Gaza Strip” have been destroyed by Israel and the situation for Palestinians “is beyond comprehension and beyond description.”
