Aid agencies have been warming that the basic needs situation throughout Gaza was dire for months.

Despite the deaths of almost 80 journalists in Gaza since the atrocity committed by Hamas against Israelis on October 7th, 2023; we're now beginning to get reports out of Gaza of Palestinian kids dying after becoming so weak due to a lack of basic human needs:

"... Six children have died and seven others are in a critical condition due to dehydration and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, the territory’s Health Ministry said on Thursday (AEDT).
Four children died at the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza. The hospital administration had announced earlier that it was halting operations as the facility had run out of fuel. ..."
"... At least 576,000 people in the enclave – one-quarter of the population there – are one step away from famine, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. It said on Tuesday that aid groups faced “overwhelming obstacles just to get a bare minimum of supplies into Gaza”.
One in six children under the age of two in northern Gaza suffers from acute malnutrition, and practically all the 2.3 million people in the Palestinian enclave rely on “woefully inadequate” food aid to survive, it added. ..."

Palestinians were demanding aid three days after they started the war. Who starts a war with no food stocks?

Today, months later, Hamas fighters are still underground, I assume eating, drinking and using fuel for ventilation etc.

Cry me a river.
