Evidence gathered by Amnesty International demonstrates how over a month since the introduction of its militarized aid distribution system, Israel has continued to use starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip and to deliberately impose conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as part of its ongoing genocide.
Heartbreaking testimonies gathered from medical staff, parents of children hospitalized for malnutrition and displaced Palestinians struggling to survive paint a horrifying picture of acute levels of starvation and desperation in Gaza. Their accounts provide further evidence of the catastrophic suffering caused by Israel’s ongoing restrictions on life-saving aid and its deadly militarized aid scheme coupled with mass forced displacement, relentless bombardment and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.
“While the eyes of the world were diverted to the recent hostilities between Israel and Iran, Israel’s genocide has continued unabated in Gaza, including through the infliction of conditions of life that have created a deadly mix of hunger and disease pushing the population past breaking point,” said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International.
In the month following Israel’s imposition of a militarized “‘aid” scheme run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured either near militarized distribution sites or en route to humanitarian aid convoys.
I started calling this a New Holocaust ever since it became obvious that Israel was trying to starve Palestinians to death.
The number of deaths by starvation in Gaza are small. If you want to see what famine and death looks like, check out what happened over the last year in Sudan.
The number of deaths per month has been falling in Gaza for more than a year now.
The situation is bad, but nowhere near comparable to the Holocaust.
You’re confusing “not being counted because the Gaza Hospitals were they did the counting were destroyed by Israel” with “not occurring”.
There was a study published in the Lancet Medical Journal about 6 months ago that back then estimated around 200k Palestinian dead even while the official figures remained stuck around the 50k mark since about 3 months into the invasion (when most Hospitals in Gaza were destroyed).
You’re parroting Zionist propaganda and I don’t really know if it’s because you yourself have fallen for it or some other, malevolent, reasons.
(Given that you’re doing this under an article about how Amnesty International gathered evidence that Israel is “using starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians”, I know which of those two possibilities I would bet on)
That Lancet article was not peer reviewed and only an estimate, that turned out to be incorrect.
“The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal”

Who’s paying you to say this bullshit, do you have no heart, do you see how it can keep on going and that they can pump those numbers up as long as this war is going on, it’s not too late for it to equal one whole holocaust since that is the baseline for atrocity for you
I didn’t bring up the Holocaust, especially not as a baseline. The situation is Gaza is horrible and needs to change. War crimes are likely happening and possibly crimes against humanity.
The situation not remotely equal to the Holocaust though.
The number of deaths per month in Gaza has been declining for over a year. Remember that gunmen with small arms managed to kill over 1000 people on one day October 7th in Israel. The IDF is heavily armed with advanced weaponry and could easily kill tens of thousands per day, if they wanted to.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is still bad, but has slowly been improving recently.
Domestically the Netanyahu government is under growing pressure to end the war. Also in Gaza the protests against Hamas continued fighting is growing. The plans for relocating Gaza‘s population have gotten no traction or progress. International pressure, negotiations, and diplomacy are busy as well.
All of this points to a better future, not an imminent Holocaust.
Equivalences to the Holocaust are at best nonfactual incitement, at worst antisemitic Holocaust denial.
The people of Gaza deserve a life in peace, liberty, and prosperity.

Comparisons and metaphors are not equivalency there is no denying the similarity between the tactic used by Nazis and the IDF. A genocide also don’t have to be fast, Israel is a sadistic terrorist state that enjoy slow death of Palestinians as people and as an identity
The Nazis systematically carried out mass shootings, gas chamber exterminations, and ghettos to erase entire communities, while the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted mass bombings, airstrikes, and ground assaults in Gaza that have devastated neighborhoods and caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths, including women and children. Where Nazis used ghettos to confine and starve populations, Israel enforces a blockade on Gaza, restricting essential supplies like food, medicine, and fuel, resulting in widespread suffering and death. The Nazis aimed to annihilate entire groups through industrialized killing; similarly, many Israeli soldiers and observers have described their actions in Gaza as indiscriminate and brutal, with some soldiers even admitting they felt like Nazis during operations, targeting civilians and destroying whole neighborhoods. Although the methods differ—mass shootings and gas chambers versus aerial bombardment and siege
From your own link: “This data set, which includes only official deaths in which identification could be confirmed”
Who did most of the counting and identification? The Gazan Hospitals that Israel blew up.
Corpses shoved to mass graves by IDF soldiers (who have even posted photos and videos of doing it) don’t get counted, much less “identified”. And don’t get me started op those burried under the rubble of bombed buildings, especially once the Israelis started targetting ambulances and rescue services.
That kind of shit is like mid Nazi Holocaust claiming there were no deaths in Auchwitz, since the Nazis didn’t care to keep track of the identity of those they killed hence the count of “official deaths in which identification could be confirmed” was zero.
See. The lancet is is a bad source and the goodshepard is. You can see this by comparing how one weakens my argument while the other one strengthens it.
The cope is astounding
“Nothing ever happens”
didn’t the IDF offer them all the chances to leave? I don’t understand what’s so ideologically important about gaza that the people there would rather die than leave. And israel gets the hate for that … why? It seems like this was all entirely preventable.

Would you be saying the same thing if it was Russia “offering” for Ukrainians to just leave their home?
More importantly, where do you think those 2 million people should go? Who will house and feed them? Israel sure hasn’t offered to do it.
Do you have any idea how hard it actually is to leave even for those who want to?
the difference here is that gaza is already completely destroyed. It’s basically unlivable. Maybe cut your losses instead of holding onto literal rubble
Maybe israel should completely stop occupation and let palestinaina by themslves where to live
Because israel is the occupying force who believe the whole land was given to them by god.
If they leave they will never be allowed to come back
uh wrong in fact. A long time ago the founding fathers of israel bought most of the land that is today’s israel from palestinian settlers. When they wanted to unite their patches of land they just kicked out the people who refused to sell their land. Arguably not the nicest method but it’s not like the palestinians never had a chance.
That didn’t contradict anything. You even use the word wrong wrong.
That scum claimed that most of israel was bought by zionists while they only owner 9% and allude to the idea that palestinians are not indigenous to the land by calling them settlers.
Liar. They only owned 9% now they control 83% of historic palestine. Owning lands do not give right to declare a state inside it. Especially when most of them was recent imigrants acceptes by the past colonizer.
Zionists never intended to respect the partition This is what ben gurrion who became later the first prime minister
after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine
Israel decided to occupy gaza and west bank in 67. They admit that they started to war
The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him- Menachem Begin
Zionists keep talking about judea and sumaria. They was destroyed so they no longer exists. The west bank is palestinian according to international law. Israel should get out of east jerusalem and all of the west bank
Well, for starters, they were blocked off on all sides. Not everyone can afford to move anyway.
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/24/middleeast/israel-approves-proposal-to-facilitate-emigration-of-palestinians-from-gaza-intl ^^ it’s not like there is no way for them to go, you know Also, seeking asylum is pretty normal for the arabic areas at this point. It’s not like they wouldn’t be allowed a life somewhere else 🤷
I wonder how many reports and studies are needed before people finally catch on to what has been incredibly obvious for decades
There have been misleading reports, including from Amnesty International.
Several reports and predictions about famine in Gaza turned out to be false. Tens of thousands were predicted a year ago. Only a few dozen died from starvation since.
Only a few dozen died from starvation since.
i really doubt this
66 children died. During famines children are most endangered and always the vast majority of deaths.
I will give you a pro Palestinian biased source.
The exact number of death in holocust only happened after nazis was defeated. You would have been a holocust denier if you was living during that time
Everyone who can connect the dots already realized that Trump gave Netanyahu the OK to kill as many Palestinians as he wants to.
In fact Trump is all in for normalizing genocide and the survival of the fittest (or in modern terms - whoever has the most powerful Military) as it fits his own agenda.
For crying out loud, stop trying to score political points in US politics when murdering brown people and helping Israel do so is the ultimate bipartisan subject in the US.
You can find differences between the two “sides” in US politics on some subjects (though often the distance is fag paper thin). but in this they’re on the same side, with at most the only difference being that the Democract establishment would rather Israel was a bit more quiet in their mass murdering.
I did not say a word about democrats, the person trying to bring up differences or indifferences between the two parties IN the US are you.
I only talked about Trump.
Please work on your reading comprehension. Thanks.
The point Aceticon is making is that it doesn’t really matter who the US president is when Israel is concerned.
Yeah, right, it’s because you’re wholly apolitical and concerned above all with the plight of Palestinians that under an article about Evidence pointing to Israel’s continued used of Starvation to inflict Genocide on Palestinians you felt the need to explicitly make it about Trump and mentioned no other of the many supporters and enablers of Israel and its Genocide
Go pull the other one.
If you weren’t trying to bring in your pet peeve in American politics you would’ve just said “America” (since the whole fucking political mainstream there are Genocide enablers) or, even better, mention all of the most egregious supporters of Israel and its Genocide: America, Britain and Germany (in all of which, curiously, the whole fucking political mainstream are Genocide enablers).
Israel always acted with impunity and the united snakes allowed them to do whatever they like
You don’t say.
