@Aizenberg55: 🧵Starvation & famine in Gaza i...

🧵Starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie. UN NGO even admitted it yesterday! After months of claiming Israel is starving Gaza on purpose and months of calling famine “imminent” it is now only supposedly happening end of May & July! Here is the Gaza starvation lie exposed: 1/15

Since the beginning of the war Israel has facilitated the entry of 222,580 tons of food into Gaza – that means 1.22 lb/0.55 kg of food per person per day for 165 days of war for every person Gaza. Yet the blood libel of intentional starvation persists. 2/

Yesterday, 3.3 lb/1.5 Kg per person of food entered Gaza, yet @volker_turk says Israel may be using starvation as method of war. It’s obvious no matter what Israel does the Hamas shills at the UN will claim this blood libel. 3/

Imminent famine has been claimed since week 1 of war, see Oct 13 UNICEF claim below. Somehow after 5 months it still has not happened. The UN group noted yesterday “criteria for famine had not yet been met.” How is that possible after months of "intentional starvation"? 4/

Claims of starvation and varying percentages of Gaza in famine by UN agencies have been hurled for months. Based on yesterday's UN report it’s clear they’ve just been making it all up and still are. Below we see on Dec 9 UN official said half of Gaza was already starving. 5/

Then on Dec 20 the same UN's World Food Programme claimed 25% of Gazans on "brink" of starvation. I guess 25% received enough food since Dec 9. Or was 50% just made up garbage by a UN official? (yes). 6/

On Jan 1, 2024 the UN went back to the 50% number. Half of Gazans at risk of starving. Not yet starving, no famine yet. (Now UN pushed to May & July) Somehow three months into war it still has not happened – despite apparent Israeli intent to starve. 7/

On January 23 another UN body, UNRWA said half a million Gazans “face” famine. About 22% now, down from 50% claimed by UN agency on Jan 1. But still no actual famine it seems. Israel can’t seem to win at the intentional starvation game. 8/

On Jan 31, 2024, using the technical term “full-fledged” the UN’s WFP again claims famine threat continues to rise. So again, admitting many months after warnings of starvation it’s still not quite a famine. 9/

There has been no evidence of children dying from hunger. Only “source” is Hamas "Ministry of Health" who claims 27 children died of hunger with zero evidence. The only tragic photo shown of "starving child" actually died from disease, not literal lack of food as claimed. 10/

Here is the photo showed by the media, here from Mar 9 NY Times article and then the photo with the healthy mother, always truncated or removed. No doubt the child’s death from disease is tragic – but it was not due to literally no food available. 11/

The other never ending lie is that pre-war 500 trucks of food and aid entered Gaza and it’s much lower now. But in fact only ~80 pre-war were food & medical aid, as the UN itself reports, and this number has been far higher for months. 12/

The other evidence of no starvation and famine are the 100s of videos of busy food markets all over Gaza. The media never covers this. It ruins the “narrative” and starkly contradicts UN claims. Here is one example of many. 13/

There is no doubt Gazans are suffering, “food insecure” as Blinken said today. It’s a war; that Hamas could end tomorrow by releasing hostages and surrendering (and not stealing aid). Even then photo evidence shows plenty of food in most places in Gaza, especially Rafah. 14/

The message to actually starving Sudanese at much larger numbers seems to be attack Israel & Jews, get them to retaliate and maybe the world will care about you too. But so far trucks & airdrops of world aid to Sudan is ZERO. END

Here is another video of plenty of food in central Gaza. Famine or imminent famine could not be further from the truth.
