Last week, the United Nations warned more than 14,000 babies would die of malnutrition in 48 hours if Israel continued to block aid from entering Gaza.
After the figure was widely reported, that timeline has been walked back, with a UN spokesperson clarifying the projection is for the next 11 months.
Between April 2025 and March 2026, there will be 71,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children under five, including 14,100 severe cases.
Severe acute malnutrition means a child is extremely thin and at risk of dying.
An estimated 17,000 breastfeeding and pregnant women will also require treatment for acute malnutrition during this time.
Starvation and malnutrition are harmful for anyone. But for infants the impact can be profound and lasting.
We are monsters. I am ashamed for all humans.
Its clearly not your fault, its the global elite right
You’re right, but I do think it is slightly our fault for protesting instead of storming the castle.
Say what you will about Jan 6th, but where is our, rightly placed, anger and passion to do the same?
Voting will not fix this. Protests will not fix this. Those elites need to fear for their life before things will ever begin to change.
Optimistic of them to assume that Israel won’t continue with other forms of genocide before March 2026. Their plan is to wipe out the population much sooner than that. Those of us outside of the US need to keep putting pressure on our politicians.
