Israeli attacks on Gaza killed at least 51 Palestinians since dawn on Monday, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as another baby starved to death in the Strip due to the US-backed Israeli blockade.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, Yousef al-Najjar, a four-month-old baby, died of malnutrition. Yousef weighed only 3.3 pounds when he died, less than one-fourth of the average weight for his age.
Mothers suffering from malnutrition cannot produce breast milk for their babies, and the Israeli blockade is blocking the delivery of baby formula. Over the weekend, a baby girl named Janan Saleh al-Sakafi also died of starvation, and pictures from Gaza show more and more emaciated infants.
UN agencies and other aid groups have said they have thousands of trucks carrying humanitarian aid ready to enter Gaza, but Israel has continued to maintain the total blockade for over two months. The Trump administration is backing the collective punishment of the civilian population and has shown no sign of putting any real pressure on Israel to end the blockade.
Palestinian civilians suffering under the blockade also have had no relief from the violence as Israeli strikes continue to pound targets across the Strip. One attack on Monday hit a car in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, killing at least eight people.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update that since Israel resumed its genocidal war on March 18, at least 2,459 Palestinians have been killed, and 6,569 were injured. The numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues.
Since October 7, 2023, the ministry’s death toll has reached 52,567, and the number of wounded has climbed to 118,610, figures that don’t account for thousands missing and presumed dead under the rubble or indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege.
Another reason for Hamas to lay down their arms and release all the hostages. That option has been on the table for 19 months. Hamas could have saved the good people of Gaza 19 months of grief and chaos, and today the people of Gaza would be sleeping in their own beds and eating at their own tables. Instead Hamas vows that there will be more October 7's, leaving Israel no choice but to continue.
I doubt it.
Doubt?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your mind it will creep
More shekels for typing.
Palestine does not print money and they mainly use Israel shekels and US dollars.
You prefer pieces of silver, no doubt.
There is no excuse.
War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity!….!…..!……
That is what Israel has had to respond to. Hamas purposely and intentionally invited Israel into Gaza on Oct 7th by violating every known UN Rules of War and Geneva Conventions, knowing that Israel would have to respond in the most aggressive manner.
Over simplification……

The caption read: “Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion – you’re the Empire. May the 4th be with you.”
Trump has more pressing matters than to worry about starving children.

"fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords,…back into our Galaxy."
what a target audience – gamer addicts, holed up, immersed in their ultra-violent first-person shooter games and avatars…
You left out stupid people.
All Israel does anymore is kill and destroy, I wonder how long it will take God to lose patience.
If there is a god, he is one sadistic prick.
He feels the same way about us….i.e. created in his image….!…..!….. ……
If he created us, he didn't make us infallible. So, exactly what did he expect? Was he bored with eternity and needed a reality show to amuse himself?
Or lazy.
God?
C’mon Man … stick to what you know … in the jungle it’s kill or be killed
The Israel should be killed?
So far … it’s Israel doing the killing
I live ‘in the moment’ … eh?
You better not ask the god in the Old Testament. Huckabee thinks he is right on the side of Israel adn the US to destroy the "terrorist enemy". After all did he not destroy men, women, children and oxen back then to make room for his "chosen people". Even today they think they are chosen and superior. Only a few days ago someone om that tribe said that they are still the masters of the universe.
Yep. I saw the video.
If you believe the Bible, you believe the Jews are indeed God's "chosen people",
if you don't, why do you quote Bible stories?

Consider the source … lol
Who is the "source"?
Juan Cole … Scheerpost 🤮
DC pretends America is Superman, but we all know Homelander when we see him.
"A four-month-old baby died of malnutrition." — Hamas said the people were running out of food, fresh water, fuel, medicine, and all manner of human necessities 18 months ago. — Someone is not telling the truth as over 50,000 babies were born in the last year. –You do the math, how long can you live without food and fresh water, yet the population has not decreased.
I realize the people of Gaza are suffering, but that is of Hamas's own making.
Sigh………………….shekels for typing.
Try an academic response instead of attempting to be cute.
I know an academic who tried to respond to the genocide you’re denying.
He’s fighting deportation in La.
Nice try fascist.
Since you are a student at one of the universities in Israel typing for shekels, you must know the history of the Nakbha of 1948, the subsequent occupation of Gaza since then, with Gaza referred as a "concentration camp" by Ehud Barak.
You also know the history of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, where a few Jews with a few weapons attacked the NAZIs, to their detriment. Perhaps they should not have done it, but just go with the flow, or occupation, much as the Palestinians in Gaza had for 75 years.
Gaza, with young Hamas fighters (the bodies of 1500 were recovered by the Israeli IDF) having no hopes for the future, finally had enough. The ensuring breakout was the result.
Please stop this "Shekels" business.
Nobody here is making money on this (afaik).
It sounds like an excuse for your own inadequacies,
as someone who writes poorly because he's not being paid for it.
It makes an impression which you probably don't want to make.
A body starves to death feeding upon itself, first energy reserves, fat, carbohydrates and then the protein part of tissue until all that’s left to consume is muscle, including heart muscle. The person is cold, unable to moderate it’s body temperature, organs, as well the brain, have weakened and shriveled, the person is irritable, in pain, likely to experience hallucinations and convulsions, eventually heart rhythm disruptions, death is close at hand, and finally, the heart stops.
Can a 4 month old baby experience hallucinations? Does it feel fear? Terror? Is pain and terror it's only experience of natural life?
I no longer know the country in which I was born, only the savage inhumanity to which it has devolved, and the shame and anger I feel.
A gazan … no pity
Are you joking or are you with the child?
Joking ? lol
I could give a Sh Xt about the gazans … full stop
Terminate all US aid to Israel.
P.S. You must be pregnant, because you keep missing your period.
Yep. America land of the compassion and just!! Take that ridiculous flag and smear it brown
Upside down.
Israel does what it does because the world leaders allow it and the USA heavily supports it. The Houthis are the exceptions so they get slaughtered by America who cheer when they kill them.
Supporting the Houthis?
Now that’s funny
Surrender …
TOTAL VICTORY means:
Hamas Military Forces destroyed & Hamas is unable to govern
Pity the insane for they have lost their souls. How does it feel to be so cruel?
Cruel?
The jihadi MASSACRE of 10/7/23 was cruel … a clear ACT OF WAR
The WAR will end in Gaza’s Hamas being destroyed
That image should hit the screens of every TV in America.
I am in tears……………..damn Israel and America (my country of birth) all to hell!!!
Better to show Americans images from the Gaza perimeter after the Arab terrorists were driven out, Oct 7-8, 2023.
It is very difficult for me to believe that the whole world (especially the US) is doing nothing to stop this horrible torture and murder of children (and innocent adults) by the Israel zionists and their followers.
