The World Food Programme on Friday said months of Israeli blockades have entirely depleted food stocks in Gaza. The WFP warned that thousands of Palestinians could die of starvation as a result of the policy.

This has nothing to do with a lack of food.

Yeah big surprise. It's intentional.

I hate to seem callous because I very much empathize with these people, but the fact that we have been seeing basically this same headline for over a year makes it seem like all of the other previous headlines were the boy who cried wolf. So many articles saying that there will be famine and never one saying that there is already a famine. Get your shit together, media.

Okay, there is a famine in Gaza.

The headlines stopped when food was coming in. Around 50 children have already starved to death.
