The ongoing violence after October 7 further exacerbates the crisis. The Applied Research Institute in Jerusalem estimated that of 581 key water and sanitation facilities, 37 were destroyed and 226 had suspected damage by November 14. Daily bombardments restrict civilians’ ability to collect water, render farming impossible, endanger staff operating water plants, and limit circulation of water tankers.
Between 8 December 2023 and 7 February 2024, the entire population in the Gaza Strip (about 2.2 million people) is classified in IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse). This is the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity that the IPC initiative has ever classified for any given area or country. Among these, about 50 percent of the population (1.17 million people) is in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and at least one in four households (more than half a million people) is facing catastrophic conditions (IPC Phase 5,
Catastrophe). These are characterized by households experiencing an extreme lack of food, starvation, and exhaustion of coping capacities.
The IDF is severely restricting the flow of aid by keeping border crossings closed. The evidence is clear. On this track Israel will commit genocide by starvation.
They're just going to say it was justified to kill all these people because Hamas fighters are in the vicinity. That person you are replying to doesn't seem to understand that the presence of terrorists around people doesn't excuse killing those people under any circumstance.
They will shift the blame away to Hamas. It's like if you and your whole family were getting murdered by someone, then they yell, "Look at whst you made me do!" as they stab your wife.
Yeah it's not my first round with this guy. But if nobody pushes back his narrative stands.
