The World Food Programme is warning northern Gaza has reached a "full-blown" famine that is spreading south. This comes after the Israeli military has spent months blocking the entry of vital aid into Gaza, attacking humanitarian aid convoys and opening fire on Palestinian civilians waiting to receive lifesaving aid. We get an update on conditions among the besieged and starving population of Gaza — including of children now suffering from the psychological effects of intense and prolonged trauma — from Dr. Walid Masoud, a vascular surgeon and a board member of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund who is just back from heading a medical mission to Gaza.

  • Roosevelt once said: "Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the ugly distemper that makes an ordinary life impossible. The future belongs to those who prove themselves the true friends of mankind." : (
  • God bless those children! I couldn't imagine what the Palestinians are going through! 😢🙏
  • I wish he could have spoken longer. We need to hear this in the US!

    If there is hell on earth, it certainly is in Gaza.
  • They just don't care their hearts are locked up no Mercy no Compassion
  • When criticism of Israel upsets some people more than the genocide of 35,000 innocent civilians ~ Being lost for words is an understatement ~
  • What about the millions of people in Gaza who are held hostage by this conflict? They can’t go anywhere, they can’t live a normal life, no education and health care.
  • We have people starving in America. We have Vets with PTSD and housing issues. We have elderly losing their homes. We need to fix our backyard before we worry about the neighbors. We are $34+TRILLION in debt.
  • Im american and im pretty hungry right now too, maybe not starving but ive definitely lost weight because of the damage this current administration has caused. My stomach is growling as im typing.
  • Well done in publishing and saying - Pride and victory belong to the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and disgrace belong to the axis of evil and its allies - a thousand salutes to the free South Africa and a thousand salutes to the proud president of Brazil, revolutionary Colombia and the global student movement.

    When Cindy McCain is speaking up, the whole world should have done so by now. She’s one of the last people I could imagine having a heart!!
