After its official announcement.. Israeli denial and American justification for the famine in Gaza

The occupying state continues to ignore the United Nations' declaration of famine in the Gaza Strip, as it still plans its military operation aimed at occupying the city. UN organizations have confirmed that the occupying army is responsible for the worsening catastrophic situation in the sector, which increases the suffering of the population.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported from a security source that the occupation of Gaza City will begin after it is completely surrounded, which is expected to take about two months. Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir indicated that the occupation will be slow to preserve the lives of soldiers and avoid harming prisoners, raising new concerns about the fate of civilians.

At the same time, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced that the famine in Gaza is a direct result of the failure of the international community, asserting that this situation cannot continue without punishment. The UN has warned that 500,000 people are living in a state of catastrophic hunger, holding the occupation responsible.

Despite these statements, Israeli writer and political analyst Eli Nissan denies the existence of famine, claiming that Hamas is responsible for starving the Palestinians due to its seizure of aid. He also claimed that Israeli prisoners are the ones suffering from starvation, reflecting an extreme position that ignores the suffering of Palestinians.

In response to these claims, the media advisor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Adnan Abu Hasna, confirmed that the occupation imposes restrictions that make it nearly impossible for aid to reach the people. He explained that UNRWA has enough trucks to feed the residents of the sector, but cannot bring them in due to Israeli obstacles.

Abu Hasna added that the occupation deliberately makes aid vulnerable to looting, allowing commercial trucks to be protected while preventing the UN from using companies or clans to secure its trucks. This has led to 95% of the aid that entered the sector falling into the hands of armed gangs.

In a related context, Republican Party analyst Adolfo Franco blamed Hamas, noting that the United States is concerned about the worsening humanitarian crisis but does not agree with the UN's descriptions. He considered that Hamas could save the Palestinians by surrendering, reflecting the use of civilian starvation as a means to achieve war goals.

It seems that Gaza is heading towards a greater humanitarian disaster, as 1.2 million Palestinians are living in Gaza City with nowhere to flee. With the occupation destroying the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis, any move to invade the city means we are heading towards a disaster greater than what we have witnessed so far.
