“Precisely Designed Mass Starvation”: Aid Access as Weapon in Israel’s War on Gaza, Researchers Find
MY GOODMAN: Alex de Waal, I’d like to bring you into this conversation. You’re executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University, author of Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine. You’re working with Forensic Architecture on their report. We have just heard that in the last day 19 people, including at least one infant, have died of starvation in Gaza. Can you talk about why this is happening?
ALEX DE WAAL: So, let me say that I’ve been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.

Der Direktor der World Peace Foundation, Alex de Waal, erklärte in der am Montag (Ortszeit) ausgestrahlten US-Sendung »Democracy Now!«: »Ich beschäftige mich seit mehr als 40 Jahren mit Hungersnöten, Ernährungskrisen und humanitären Maßnahmen, und in diesen vier Jahrzehnten hat es keinen Fall einer derart minutiös ausgearbeiteten, genau überwachten und präzise konzipierten Massenaushungerung einer Bevölkerung gegeben, wie es heute in Gaza geschieht.«
‚I saw death‘: Palestinians recall Israeli massacre of nearly 100 aid seekers
There, trucks from the World Food Programme (WFP) were expected to arrive, offering a rare chance to access long-denied essential supplies.
But as people gathered near the truck, Israeli troops surrounded relief-seekers, directly and indiscriminately shooting towards them, according to eyewitnesses, among them Ewadi.
„They [the Israeli army] fired heavily at us from the tanks,“ he told Middle East Eye, describing how military vehicles moved through the crowd, at times passing within inches of civilians.
79 Gazans killed waiting for food after Israeli troops open fire, medics say
Israeli troops killed at least 79 Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday, local health authorities said, after large and desperate crowds mobbed one of the U.N. convoys carrying a trickle of aid into the mostly besieged enclave.
The U.N. World Food Program said its 25-truck convoy was mobbed shortly after it passed through the Zikim border crossing from Israel into Gaza. “Our convoy encountered massive crowds of hungry civilians which came under gunfire,” the agency said in a statement.
