While accusations persist that Israel is deliberately starving Gaza as part of a genocidal strategy, the evidence overwhelmingly shows otherwise. Israel has not only facilitated massive humanitarian aid inflows, but has done so under extreme wartime conditions, despite Hamas‘s ongoing rocket attacks, hostage-taking, and deliberate sabotage of aid distribution.

Since October 7, 2023:

• Israel has delivered unprecedented aid volumes—nearly 2 million tons via 90,000+ trucks, airdrops, and sea routes—proving no intent to starve.
• Famine claims are isolated to Hamas-dominated combat zones, not Israeli-controlled areas.
• The Integrated (Food Security) Phase Classification’s (IPC) declaration hinges on eased, opaque criteria, fuelling misleading narratives.
• Starvation deaths remain minimal compared to famine thresholds, with violence as the primary killer.
• Hamas’s aid theft, black-market profiteering, and refusal to end the war are the true drivers of suffering, turning humanitarian crises into weapons against Israel.

This isn’t genocide or deliberate starvation—it’s a tragic consequence of Hamas’s aggression and manipulation. International bodies should demand accountability from Hamas, not enable its tactics through biased reporting. The mainstream media are propagating fake news again.

Please note that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has been praised by its supporters for delivering millions of meals to Gaza’s civilians under challenging conditions, aiming to bypass Hamas aid diversion and provide a secure, direct distribution system. Its efforts focus on addressing acute food insecurity through partnerships, logistical innovation, and U.S. backing, with a reported $30 million commitment from the U.S. government. Hamas have repeatedly attacked GHF distribution as they lose control and political power.

Hamas’s role in exacerbating suffering cannot be ignored. Multiple reports document the group’s systematic diversion of aid for military purposes, including reselling supplies on black markets to fund terrorism—estimated to have netted Hamas nearly $1 billion since the war began.
