Hungersnot wurde zum ersten Mal in Gaza bestätigt

Wouldn’t that make keeping the food supplies out a warcrime?

Very convenient time to announce it just as Israel was about to start a new operation in Gaza city, looks like it’s a way for the UN organizations to try to pressure Israel to unilaterally stop the fighting and drop the plans for the new operation, or let other UN members do it for them with this announcement being the justification.

It also seems the official IPC criteria for famine have been altered specifically for this conflict so they could be met, according to some sources.

In the last month, after the successfuly orchastrated „starvation“ media campaign (that involved a lot of photos of people with health conditions not even related to famine), Israel was successfuly pressured to increase the aid entering quite significantly, allowing much more trucks to enter even allowing airdrops from foreign countries.

A lot of videos from Gazan social media accounts lately make the impression that the situation is actually improving, a lot of videos showing full shelves in the stores, restaurants reopening, and prices of products falling fast.

The latest decleration by the UN seems very questionable, with this timing, IMO.

Edit: added more context and cleared some misunderstandings

This comes after immense pressure on Israel to change its policy towards Gaza failed.

The only way to increase the pressure is to declare famine by [creating a new more lenient methodology only for gaza](https://freebeacon.com/israel/un-backed-famine-watchdog-quietly-changed-standards-easing-way-to-declare-famine-in-gaza/)
