The humanitarian appeals and cries that emanate from the mouths of millions of hungry people who are on the verge of certain death in the Gaza Strip are no longer due to the continuous bombing and aggression, but rather because of the famine that struck them and sank its fangs into their thin bodies in light of global weakness, conspiracy, and silence regarding the occupation’s closure of the Gaza crossings and the prevention of the entry of aid. Until the famine reached catastrophic levels, and mulberry tree leaves appeared in Gaza’s markets as an alternative to eating “grape leaves,” exposing the nakedness of the entire world, which was silently watching this heinous crime being carried out in broad daylight in full view of everyone, without anyone doing anything.

The deadly famine in Gaza is no longer merely a bell for which the world rings its alarm, as international humanitarian institutions have done - since the beginning of the aggression - with the luxury of issuing warning statements and anesthetizing numbers that no longer fatten the people of Gaza or feed them from hunger, in light of the enemy’s continuation and insistence on continuing to starve the people of Gaza. Strip to death, and the scene of children martyring from hunger has become an almost normal occurrence for an unjust world that watches, remains silent, and does not move to stop the crime.

As the famine and disaster continue, social media pioneers are documenting many extremely cruel scenes, more eloquent than the world’s statements and condemnations, one of which is the scene of the martyrdom of the child Azzam Al-Shaer in northern Gaza as a result of the lack of the necessary food and medicine in light of the Israeli war on the Strip.

Not only that, but the videos and pictures reveal the image of the monster of famine that is now devouring the bodies of children in Gaza in light of the collapse of the health system and the prevention of the entry of aid and basic medical and food materials, with all its cruelty and brutality, which the whole world should have taken real steps to stop, far from Just denunciations, denunciations and empty claims.

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif documents a painful scene of a young child in Gaza, in the hospital, lying in the recovery incubator, connected to medical equipment, close to death, in the face of a complete inability of the medical teams to provide him with any assistance in light of the lack of medicines and food necessary to save him.

As for the three-year-old child, Muhammad, he is another victim in northern Gaza. The video scene that was documented reveals his image as he was starving and writhing in intense pain, due to the deliberate policy of extermination based on starvation practiced by the occupation army in Gaza.

The communication pioneers, commenting on the scene, believe that this suffering could have been avoided, but the West refuses to force the occupation to break the siege and open the Rafah crossing to deliver aid, in light of an Arab and Islamic silence like the silence of those in graves.

Children are not the only ones who cause pain, grief, and oppression, in light of the inability to save Gaza. This is an old Gazan pilgrim with a hunched back, who has been waiting for long hours since the early morning to get a bite of food for his family. He reveals a small part of the daily suffering and misery that the people of Gaza endure every day. In order to make them able to survive a life whose destinies are being written by hardened criminals with the blessing of the Western world and Arab and Islamic silence.

This is an old woman who raises a cry from Gaza - if there are Arabs and Muslims left in this world - as she put it, to tell them a message that says: “Hunger has killed the young and the old... scare us, world.”

This is another painful scene that conveys part of the suffering experienced by our besieged people in northern Gaza, men, women and children who stand for hours in the intense heat to obtain water that is no longer available.

The scenes that touch the conscience of the silent world do not stop with the words spoken by the children of Gaza as they carry their empty utensils, waiting for someone to fill them to satisfy their hunger and save them from the monster of famine that has destroyed their bodies, to send a message to the entire world: “We in the north are in famine.”

And that is another child crying from the intense pain of hunger and oppression, crying out to the oppressive world, and praying for everyone who failed Gaza, and did not move a finger in front of the scenes of people dying of hunger if they did not die from Israeli bombing.

Blogger Abdullah Al-Saeedi documents a scene that breaks hearts and breaks spirits, of a grieving father awaiting the last breath of his daughter, who is about to pass away as a martyr due to the hunger that destroyed her thin body, and in the face of his oppression and helplessness, he has no choice but to strive to infuse her body with breaths and wet her body with tears, there is no room for pain in his arsenal. .. His cup - O Lord - has overflowed with pain.

There is nothing more painful than that scene in which a resident of Gaza appears eating dry grass due to famine, while queues of thousands of aid trucks accumulate in front of the crossings, most of which are destroyed in light of the world’s silence, helplessness, and conspiracy to prevent their entry to save the people of Gaza from the specter of hunger.

Catastrophic levels of food insecurity 
Field and international reports indicate that the population of Gaza has been affected by food insecurity at a rate of nearly 100%, while vital sectors and facilities have reached the stage of collapse, in light of the continued Israeli aggression against the Strip since last October 7.

An international report said that about 96% of Gaza's population faces high levels of acute food insecurity.
According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative, more than 495,000 people, or more than a fifth of Gaza’s population, face the most catastrophic levels of food insecurity.

The report stated: “The operating space available to humanitarian organizations, and the ability to safely provide assistance to the population, is constantly diminishing as the current conditions deteriorate and become highly unstable.”

The attack on Rafah caused the closure of the land crossing on the Gaza border with Egypt, which was a main route for delivering food and other supplies, in addition to being an evacuation point for seriously ill or injured civilians.
