Netanyahu Got Food Poisoning The Same Day That 18 Palestinians In Gaza Died From Starvation
On July 20, Netanyahu was diagnosed with intestinal inflammation caused by food poisoning after he fell ill overnight, and was given three days of rest and work from home.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has got food poisoning, the same day that 18 Palestinians in Gaza died from starvation.
On Sunday, July 20, Netanyahu was diagnosed with intestinal inflammation caused by food poisoning after he fell ill overnight, and was given three days of rest and work from home.
Since March 2, Israel has blocked all aid from entering Gaza, leaving more than 2.3 million Palestinians to starve for more than 80 days.
76 children and 10 adults have been killed due to malnutrition in Gaza since Israel began its blockade, with 18 people dying from starvation on the same day, Gaza’s health ministry reported.
Families in Gaza have reported eating one meal per day or less, and about one-third of all households report going entire days without eating.
Doctors and aid workers, themselves malnourished, struggle to treat a constant influx of starving and emaciated patients.
Recent videos showed people falling and dying in the streets from hunger, with the journalists documenting and covering the news also being starved.
In late May, Israel allowed only a “basic” amount of aid to enter, but through the controversial US- and Israeli-backed aid agency, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The UN and other international aid agencies have refused to work with GHF as it delivers aid in small centralized “secure distribution sites,” which are heavily guarded by private security firms, making it hard for people to reach.
Still, large, desperate crowds of Palestinians often gather at GHF aid distribution sites despite the high risk of being shot or bombed by Israeli forces, due to severe famine.
Videos and investigations have revealed that Israeli forces and US contractors are deliberately shooting at Palestinians trying to reach aid.
More than 1,021 Palestinians have been killed and 6,511 others injured, with aid distribution being turned into a “death trap,” according to Gaza’s health ministry.
