Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!

CLAIM: Israel is letting in enough food to feed all the Gazans (Oct 2023 - Dec 2024).

RATING: False

If the amount of food entering was more than enough during January-April 2024, then:

  • Why did Oxfam say that, in the January-February 2024 timeframe, “people in northern Gaza have been forced to survive on an average of 245 calories a day"?
  • Why did Amnesty International say in March 2024 that, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), “more than two million people are on the brink of starvation” in Gaza?
  • Why did the US then feel compelled to air-drop food along the Gaza coast in early March?
  • Why did the US feel further compelled to spend $320 million to build a floating pier to deliver even more food aid in May?
  • Why did many in Northern Gaza resort to eating ground-up animal feed, and when the feed ran out, to eating grass?

This is not the first time Israel puts the Gazans on a “diet”. [TODO: link to other fact check about restricting food into Gaza.]

One reply on “Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!”

Keep trying to invent history. The palis didn’t exist until the mid 1960s.
One other fun fact – every group, every political organization, and every government that has ever tried to destroy the Jews has been destroyed. Fun fact #2 Israel has never been stronger.
