“According to the most respected measure of these things, 100 percent of the population in Gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. That’s the first time an entire population has been so classified,” Blinken told a press conference in the Philippines, where he is on an official visit.

    I wonder how you would feel if you, your wife and your kids were all starving and you were failing to provide enough food for them on the table.

    Or think of all those parents with newborn babies forced to live in makeshift tents in unsanitary conditions without access to even basic medicine, or pre-milk. I am sure their child mortality rate has skyrocketed.

    And guess where there were 100% acute malnutrition. Concentration camps! It seems we have learned nothing from the history books and still in the 21st century we allow this to happen.

      My comment only states that I thought the conditions were worse. Nowhere do I say the conditions aren’t extremely dire or bad. Ive read news that food trucks are being stopped for weeks and weeks i thought food had run out a long time ago. My feelings in that situation are irrelevant.
