‘We are dying slowly, save us’: starvation takes hold in Gaza after a week of appalling milestones | Gaza

TThe people of Gaza said that the “worst scarcity scenario çıkan, one of the supported hunger experts of this week, emerged there. For months they watched the children were wasting.

38 Jamil Mughari, a 38 -year -old Maghazi in the center of Gaza, said, “All my children have lost almost half of the body weight,” he said. “My five -year -old daughter now weighs only 11 kg. My son Mohammad just became the skin and bone. All my children are like this.

“I was 85 kg myself and now I fell to 55.”

He was struggling to maintain the power to find food for his family. “Sometimes, when I walk on the street, I turn my head and I’m about to collapse, but I force myself to stay upright.

During the week, Gaza passed two terrible stones. Although the real figure, including those buried under the rubble of Israeli air strikes, was much higher, the official Palestinian death money passed 60,000.

As hunger bombs and an armed killer, the human cost is likely to continue to rise upright. On Tuesday, the integrated food safety stage classification (IPC), a panel of experts from the UN and other charity organizations for a long time on the threat of famine, confirmed that the line has passed.

IPC said, “The worst script is currently playing in the Gaza Strip,” IPC said.

2.2 million Gaza people have long been hunger experts for a long time, Israel was forced to clean food every day in the face of intentional and serious restrictions to help delivery.

Mughari said that the food almost disappeared: “We can go without flour for one or two weeks.

His family had to move seven times since the war began, and he was forced to escape the repeated Israeli attacks. But now there was no way to escape the hunger that grasped the whole region.

“Sometimes we get lentils from donations or charitable people, or we borrow some money to buy them,” he said. “We do not receive food aid from soup kitchens, these are only for certain camps, small amounts.

“Them [Israelis] Broadcast news about the arrival of help, but only those with strong and weapons seize trucks and sell goods at extremely high prices. How can the poor buy them at such prices? “

The four food distribution areas in Gaza, ruled by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, are open only a few minutes a day and lead to great desperate desperate crowd of people under Israeli fire while looking for humanitarian aid.

Mansoura Fadl Al-Helou, a 58-year-old widow, is very weak to go to the distribution points and refuses to let his son go because he is afraid that he will not survive.

“The situation there is terrible and very dangerous. The worst part is chaos between men – people who pushed and throw each other to the ground,” he said. “Only a son is here, but I always stop the help trucks to the trucks because of the danger of the army.

Mughari had open heart surgery and all his children are under 12 years of age. Even if they want to risk their lives for the chance to find food.

Orum I’m trying to stay determined to provide my children to get something to eat, ”he said. “We sent many messages to the world, but no one moves. We don’t know what to say anymore. The only thing I can say to the world is to die slowly, to save us from this tragedy.”

Among the horrors of the Israeli-Gaza War, the torture of the parents who see that their children are hunger and weak to save them is certainly the worst.

Abu Al-Aed, a father from Deir al-Balah, said, “My youngest daughter is 14 years old and the rib cage can be seen clearly due to excessive weakness and malnutrition,” Abu Al-Aed said. “I have four daughters and three sons. They suffer from dizziness and fatigue due to lack of food. If I feel their fathers in this way, how bad should they be to them?

He said they didn’t get any help and the food market is expensive and they could buy it there. “Prices are extremely high; even in European countries have not reached such inflation levels. And there is no source of income in Gaza.

“In the past, there were soup kitchens in the area, but now there is no longer. No more free food.

He said he no longer believed that the world has any sense of responsibility. “For years, they have boasted about human rights and the protection of lives. Now what I see is deceived by these slogans that all this is a lie.

“If we wanted them to protect the rights of animals in Gaza, they would immediately respond and would do the impossible. But when it comes to the rights of the Palestinian people, no one remembers us or feels for us, not the Arabs, not Muslims, not Christians, not Christians.”

The recognition of the official IPC that the people of Gaza knew very well – what they died of starvation – brought a slight hope that the outside world would finally take action, but did not bring much confidence that it would be long experience.

Al-Helou said: “For a long time from this famine, no one has suffered and no one has taken action. I hope the world will finally take action to help us and save us from this slow death.”

In September, Britain’s promise to recognize Palestine influenced it even less by preventing a fundamental change in the direction of the ceasefire and Israel.

“I don’t know what’s going to change if the British government recognizes the Palestinian state. he asked. “A good step to recognize us and the Palestinian situation, but it must be a real recognition – not symbolic. A state with rights such as real rights, real sovereignty and other nations.”
