Over the weekend, I embedded with the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza, where I saw the enormous quantities of humanitarian aid the United Nations has been refusing to distribute. What struck me most were the thousands upon thousands of pounds of baby food, baking under the Middle Eastern sun — jar after jar of mashed carrots, pureed potatoes and fruit blends. This food could have gone to children

The UN refused to do the job, saying it couldn’t operate safely with Israeli protection. Instead it asked that security be provided by the “Gaza Blue Police” — a euphemism for Hamas’s internal security forces.

It's not primarily a hunger "crisis", but a genocide perpetrated by Israel in full daylight for the world to see. They are turning Gaza into a death camp and the scenes unfolding are much like the horrors of nazi ghettos and camps.
