A floating pier and causeway that will be used to deliver critical humanitarian aid by sea to Gaza is expected to take at least one month or possibly as long as two for the US military to build and become fully operational, Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Patrick Ryder said on Friday.
Yeah that’s too long unfortunately. Hunger and lack of medical care are going to kill so many that maybe it was part of the plan all along to make it easier to deny
Food really isn’t something one needs that quickly unless you’ve got no fat on your body. I remember reading a paper about an obese guy who (voluntarily) fasted under care of a doctor for over a year. Took vitamins, but other than that, just water.
Water, on the other hand, is really important. No water, you’re dead inside a week, maybe a little longer.
Gazans are already chronically malnourished, though, not obese. And some parts of Gaza have been under occupation for months. Babies are already dying and soon children, then adults will follow.
Children have already started dying, too. For example, Yazan Kafarneh: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-children-starving-famine-warning-death-destruction-rcna141813
Why don’t you fly to Tel Aviv, buy some food, and take a taxi to the border to walk into Gaza hand out food yourself?
Not a bad idea this is what the IDF should be doing.
