The international charity Save the Children said in a press release on Monday that about 130,000 Palestinian children under the age of 10 have been trapped under an Israeli siege in northern Gaza for 50 days.
The organization said children living in north Gaza “have been almost completely cut off from supplies of food, water, and medicine since October 6, 2024, when Israeli forces declared the area to be a closed military zone, with the independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) saying that famine is either imminent or likely already occurring in the area.”
In early October, Israel ordered the evacuation of northern Gaza and declared the area a military zone as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign. The operation has been focused on the cities of Beit Lahia, Jabalia, and Beit Hanoun, which have been under a total siege, and barely any aid has reached Gaza City.
Save the Children noted that the UN “also warned nearly a month ago that the entire population of North Gaza governorate was at risk of dying, yet attempts by aid groups to access the area have been repeatedly denied by Israeli forces.” The charity said it had been trying to deliver food parcels to northern Gaza for over seven weeks, but the effort failed, and the aid was re-directed to the south.
Ruba, a mother of two in northern Gaza, described her situation to Save the Children. “I am trapped with my children under relentless bombs, rockets, and bullets, with nowhere to run. My mother is paralyzed, and I cannot leave her behind. My brother has been killed, my husband was taken, and I don’t know if he’s alive. Our home was destroyed over our heads, and we survived by a miracle,” she said.
“With no food, no clean water, and constant fear, both my children have developed rashes, and my daughter is passing blood, but there is no medicine, no help, and absolutely nothing I can do. They cry and ask me why we can’t just leave, why their father isn’t with us, why we can’t go back to a normal life,” Ruba added.
On October 13, the Biden administration sent a letter to Israeli officials that said Israel must allow more aid trucks into Gaza within 30 days. The letter said there may be “implications” under US foreign assistance laws that prohibit aid to countries that block humanitarian aid shipments.
During that 30-day period, the aid situation in Gaza only got worse, and Israel came nowhere close to fulfilling the demands in the letter. But when the deadline came, the Biden administration said there would be no consequences for Israel, and US weapons shipments continue to flow, confirming the letter was just a pre-election public relations stunt.

And the United States (not Americans) are complicit.
"Not Americans"? How many of us would be willing to join a protest against Israel's actions? Not too many I'm sure what with the possible repercussions of doing so! Most Americans are more concerned with their material pursuits and their sports teams to even consider what it's like to be in Gaza right now and the past 70 plus years! An election was stolen BIG TIME in 2020 and how did MOST Americans react? "There was NO fraud because the media says so". If Americans can't even acknowledge that there was MASSIVE vote fraud that swung 2020, how do you expect them to be able to influence as to how Israel should be held accountable for its horrific actions? You are a slave until you do something about it!
You had a good comment going until you started spouting shit about the 2020 election. And by the way, the courts said no to Trump's bullshit claims. Not to mention he was playing the same game as far back as 2012.
2012, Real Estate developer and reality TV boss Donald Trump had Twitter aglow last night following President Obama's re-election, at one point tweeting, "We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided."
Trump made tweets throughout the night, according to the Yahoo blog The Ticket, suggesting at times that America go "back to the drawing board," and "Let's fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us."

Sound familiar?
A LOT of different courts said No to all claims of election fraud. No plaintiffs brought compelling evidence. Some didn't even BRING evidence.
There's no "there" there.
I believe there were 65 courts.
Keep Dreaming! The TRUTH is that the "legal" system, yes that one that tried to HANG Trump on a bunch of juiced-up charges, would NOT hear the case for VOTE FRAUD! 2020 WAS a stolen election and there's NOTHING you can say or do that would change that FACT!
To be precise – because you have adopted a burden of proof by making the positive claim that the 2020 election was “stolen”, AND you have not provided convincing evidence, my position is, “I don’t believe your claim.”
Wow! What ever you are using, I want some of it.
I have never in my life been THAT blitzed.
Question: do you feel the same about the election of 2000?????
There’s nothing you’ve provided as evidence that establishes your claim as fact.
You mean his caps didn't convince YOU?
Italics might have. Double-underline, possibly. As it stands his assertions read as if typed in Comic Sans MS font and magenta-3 font color.
He learned to speak in caps by reading his dear leader's rants.
"His assertions read as if typed in Comic Sans-"
Now look here, my good man! Such mockery does an injustice to the chap's argument.
Below, a fair paraphrase of what our friend maintains:
"….durrrrrhh…..CAPS!!!!!…..durrrrrrh…."
An argument both eloquent and lucid – indeed, rather fiendishly clever, in my humble opinion.
His argument IS sorta like jazz – you have to listen the the facts he’s NOT citing.
…so…omitted "facts" is to argument as original melody is to an improv that avoids "citing" the original melody?
The only place occupied harder by Israel than the West Bank are the Banks of the Potomac. Between AIPAC $ and blackmail related to the political class's proclivity toward little boys and little girls, they have DC in their pocket.
There's more (and more convincing) evidence of fraud in the 2004 Bush II "win" over Kerry, than there was in 2020.
Trump did a s**t job as President in his first term and his loss reflected that. Fertilising his GISS Army followers with bulls**t since then, won him a bumper-crop of votes in 2024.
Why whine about Trump not getting consecutive terms, when he's poised to become America's Forever President ? Your side is getting everything it thinks it wants. Watch how that turns out for America (SPOILER : "not well")
Ah c'mon, aren't you looking to four more years of this:
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Oh, MORE than four years, I’m sure.
It's already been 8. Plus 4 more and we'll be at 12. That will be how long this con man extraordinaire will have been in the news every. single. fucking. day!
Oh, sorry – what I meant was, Term 2 of Final President Trump starts this coming January, and will never end. Not until he passes away of natural causes and his crown then adorns his chosen successor.
He will die. We all die. At some point.
Tom, I have no desire to be contentious, but merely wish to clarify. And I thank you for a very civil and informative comment. I agree with everything you posted, and was pleased that you did. However, I may not have expressed myself well, or you may have misunderstood. Either way, I will try to explain.
I went to the Merriam-Webster web site to see if I has misunderstood the term complicit.
You may find it at: Complicit Definition & Meaning – Merriam-Webster
An extraction includes…
complicit :helping to commit a crime or do wrong in some way
And as you so observantly pointed out, most Americans don’t do anything.
But it also gives examples, and this one you may like.
President Joe Biden’s administration is fully complicit in Israel’s massacre of 40,000 civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.—Caise D. Hassan, Chicago Tribune, 31 Oct. 2024
WE, or many, know what is going on. The problem is the cowards who are our "representatives".
They may as well be wearing choke chains. I firmly believe that were the Mossad to assassinate the Pope, we would defend them.
To me, it is that crazy.
And would people quit quoting the 40,000 figure, when it is by orders of magnitude worse, closer to 200,000+.
By our indifference are we complicit.
People here in the US are also ignoring and in denial that the world is heading toward WWIII. Why? because people feel helpless because Wash. sides with Israel and Ukraine. And, there have been numerous protests, but, like during the Vietnam War, all the protesting did no good. The war lasted until Wash. ran out of money, and everything is all about MONEY. America is for sale and those who receive bribes are the ones who make up foreign policy in favor of those who bribe them. Lobbying is just legal bribery and that will NEVER end, obviously.
All MSM yapped about the "attack on Jews in Amsterdam" as being a "pogrom".
This kid, a 16 year old (to me, journalist of the year), reported on the truth of what happened.

We fund Israel, we are complicit!
Steven Colbert finally said something funny: https://x.com/MarkSimoneNY/status/1862319592380551587
The society of Israel has been raised on hate. It has become easy for Israelis to cheer babies brains being blown out of their heads, children missing limbs, having to watch their mother die, their father executed.
In America there is insensitivity, except for the poor people in Israel, that little country with nuclear weapons, jets, rockets, 2,000 pound bombs, advanced technology that kills, that are oh so defenseless, that needs to "defend itself" by killing women and children, bombing hospitals, schools, killing health workers, stopping supplies.
Most of America has bought into it. The lie.
” Children live what they learn”…
Israel better listen up!
What you have suffered you now impose on others.
Everyone deserves a homeland and should be able to live without constant fear of potentially losing it…
Starving 130,000 Children isn't genocide, right?
What DOES qualify Genocide then?
Your tax dollars at work, murdering children.

"The Israeli military has killed three workers with the World Central Kitchen (WCK) and at least two other people in an air strike on a vehicle in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, in what was the third deadly attack on the aid group this year."
