Famine & Starvation in Gaza
Famine in Gaza—already ongoing for months—was now officially declared entirely manmade by the United Nations and the IPC (the global hunger monitor) on August 22, 2025. IPC stands for Integrated Food Security Phase Classification. Israel uses starvation and famine in Gaza as a weapon of war. The Israeli campaign to destroy UNRWA paved the way for the hunger crisis. The so-called Gaza 'Humanitarian' Foundation distracts and deceives. Famine is part of an ethnic cleansing strategy and genocide. International law is trampled upon by Israel and the USA. The result is a shameful display of total Israeli impunity. Find more on the complex history of the Gaza Strip famine on Wikipedia.
There is a shameful complicity of Western media and politicians in the ongoing genocide. This goes hand in hand with Western censorship and suppression of solidarity movements for Palestinians. International law is either ignored or being trampled upon. So far for "Western values." But what about the Arab nations?
Demand a weapons embargo now, sanction Israel, and consider supporting boycott campaigns to end the famine.
Work in progress, suggestions welcome.
