"Even if food is surged into #Gaza today, the history of weaponized mass starvation shows that the social aftershocks will reverberate for generations."

"At best, the #GHF is utterly incompetent. At worst, it’s a cynical ruse—showing that #Israel isn’t actually concerned about theft of aid supplies at all. Either way, the whole arrangement is criminal when it abets mass starvation." - #AlexDeWaal

The #Israeli government is attempting to cover up enforced #starvation in #Gaza by using the same methods as many architects of calamity from the past 100 yrs. #AlexDeWaal
#famine #genocide
Step 1: keep out the press
Step 2: ban the word ‘famine’
Step 3: confound the statisticians
Step 4: attack the sources
Step 5: confuse the story
Step 6: blame someone else
Step 7: justify the crime

"In Somalia or Sudan, for example, when food becomes scarce, people fall back on age-old alternatives such as gathering wild grasses and berries, or modern strategies such as calling for family members abroad to transfer cash. #Palestinians in #Gaza can’t do any of this. #Israel controls every shekel, every sack of flour, every connection to the outside world." - #AlexDeWaal

"During the past year, as starvation started to appear in #Gaza, #Israel has clashed with the United Nations and aid agencies over the very nature and significance of data on humanitarian catastrophe. [...] [W]ith painstaking caution a series of reports by international and US humanitarian analysts have explained that there is indeed #StarvationInGaza, despite Israel’s insistence to the contrary: the blindfolds are off." - #AlexDeWaal

"The balance of evidence is that people are perishing of starvation and related health crises and many more will do so without immediate and effective humanitarian action and restoration of essential services." - #AlexDeWaal

"The al-Bashir case settled most legal questions about whether heads of state or government enjoy immunity for international crimes. They don't. [..] Khan’s case breaks new legal ground only insofar as it’s the first time that an international court is charging individuals with the war crime of starvation." - #AlexDeWaal

"We now have international standards for measuring and responding rapidly to #FoodEmergencies: mechanisms that are standardized, transparent, and based on complicated calculations.

“This is fundamentally a political crisis,” says #AlexDeWaal, the author of Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine, who explains that even with a #ceasefire and #HumanitarianAid, “a crisis like this cannot be stopped overnight,” and that “This will be a calamity that will be felt for generations.”

In Gaza, millions of Palestinians are starving after five months of U.S.-backed attacks by Israel, while Israel continues to prevent the delivery of essential provisions. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini wrote on social media, “This man-made starvation under our watch is a stain on our collective humanity.” The head of the World Health Organization says children in Gaza are already dying of malnutrition. “This is fundamentally a political crisis,” says Alex de Waal, the author of Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine, who explains that even with a ceasefire and humanitarian aid, “a crisis like this cannot be stopped overnight,” and that “This will be a calamity that will be felt for generations.”
