As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.
Once a famine gathers momentum, the effort required to contain it increases exponentially. It would now take an overwhelmingly large aid operation to reverse the coming wave of mortality, and it would take months. Gaza is entering its darkest chapter yet.
Hello I am a North American journalist and op Ed writer. For the last 18 months my dang computer has been auto correcting all of my writing and posts to say that what’s happening in Gaza is complicated but necessary. What I actually meant is that it’s bad. Thank you
#Gaza: "The so-called GHF distribution scheme is a sadistic death trap. Snipers open fire randomly on crowds, as if they're given a license to kill. Humanitarian assistance is not the job of mercenaries." - @JulietteTouma, @UNRWA buff.ly/Q9VvnGV
Look at the language of Israeli propagandists: he refers to “fighting” in Gaza. There is no fighting. There is a terrorist army slaughtering civilians around the clock.

#Gaza: airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation. They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & screensmoke. A manmade hunger can only be addressed by political will. Lift the siege, open the gates & guarantee safe movements…
You: - Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week - Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK - Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime) - Haven't stopped arms sales - Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state You have enabled a genocide.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
People are once again forced to be displaced in #Gaza by Israeli Authorities orders. They have nowhere to go. 🚫 No one is safe in Gaza. 🚫 No place is safe in Gaza. 🚫 Not aid workers, not medical workers, not UN staff. 🚫 No one has been spared. People have endured over…
This was Germany today: police brutally beating up peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza. Imagine destroying your own democracy so that another country can continue to commit genocide.

Here's a much more accurate headline for you, @Telegraph. 🇵🇸
WSJ and NYT aided Israel in their baseless smear campaign against UNRWA that was, I argued at the time, textbook incitement to genocide. UNRWA was also bombed and made illegal by Israel, paving the way for today’s GHF shooting galleries and death camps columnblog.com/p/nyt-wsj-laun…
Watching Western leaders tweet about the ‘conditions in Gaza’ while still arming Israel and refusing to use all the power to stop them, as is their duty under the Genocide Convention, is like Hitler tweeting “Conditions in Auschwitz are really bad” while ordering more Zyklon B
