    The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhri, has
    described the situation in Gaza as “horrific”, saying that such levels
    of starvation have not been witnessed in modern history.

    In remarks made to the press on Monday, Fakhri stated that Israel has
    been blocking aid from entering Gaza for more than 20 months.

    He also noted that Israel is attacking the United Nations and defying
    the Security Council, adding that Israel’s attack on the UN is an
    attack on the entire world.

    Since 2 March this year, the Israeli occupation has closed Gaza’s
    crossings to humanitarian, medical and food aid, as well as goods and
    fuel, leading to a severe deterioration in humanitarian conditions.

    Backed by the United States, the Israeli army has been committing acts
    of genocide in Gaza since 7 October 2023. These attacks have resulted
    in more than 195,000 people killed or wounded, most of whom are women
    and children, in addition to over 11,000 reported missing.

    How did it compare with Germany and Japan during the first half of
    the 1940's?

    It is really pretty simple, release the hostages the Palestinians
    kidnapped, and lay down your weapons.
