Palestinians are being starved to death in Gaza after Israel has denied the entry of any food or aid into the besieged enclave for more than two months.

“For over 60 days, not a single crumb of food or aid has entered Gaza. We have no energy left to fetch water, search for firewood, or even flee from one place to another. Parents now wish for death—just to escape the agony of watching their children wither to bone. This is slow, collective punishment in front of the world’s eyes,” says Palestine Deep Dive contributor Ahmed Dremly who lives in Gaza.

Nearly 290,000 of Gaza’s children are on ‘the brink of death’ due to famine, with at least 57 Palestinians having already died from starvation according to Gaza’s government media office.

Speaking to Ahmed Alnaouq for the first news show in Palestine Deep Dive’s new studio, Palestinian political analyst and writer Muhammad Shehada says, “Israel will continue the starvation, the famine, because one of its core goals is to empty out the Gaza Strip, to finish off the Gaza question. To tell people that if you want to survive, then leave Gaza.”
