The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza (Guardian, 2025-07-31)

>> The #mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

>> Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades …

>> “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” a senior adviser to the then prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said in 2006…

>> … Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, Cogat records show, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period.

>> Even if every bag of #UN flour had been collected and handed out, and the #GHF had developed safe systems for equitable distribution, starvation was inevitable…
