Just imagine what the last five months of this child’s life have been like, before Israeli forces fatally injured him and he died without a single familiar face at his bedside.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"We're dealing with cases daily of children dying of hunger."

Despite new efforts to ramp up delivery aid into Gaza, the north of the strip is seeing a widespread hunger rampant amongst children.

[TIMES OF GAZA @Timesofgaza]

Don't stop talking about Palestine.

14,622+ children have been massacred by the Israeli occupation in Gaza since Oct 7.

BREAKING| Israeli forces start installing steel barricades on the entrances to Al Aqsa mosque in occupied Jerusalem.

“It’s an unimaginable man-made crisis to make people starve. I feel so devastated when I see my colleague Mahmoud with his kids filmed in Gaza City these days. They've lost so much weight.”

MAP’s @Aseelbaidoun on #Gaza’s malnutrition crisis: https://t.co/cIkSknmpRx

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

Airdrops are not the solution to Israel’s systematic campaign of starvation, and instead relieve Israel and its supporters of the pressure to lift the total siege, says MAP’s @Aseelbaidoun on @AJEnglish

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

“Children in Gaza have started going out on the streets with their plates, and empty pots and spoons banging on them and shouting they want to eat. If this situation continues, I’m afraid the worst will happen and more people will die of starvation.”

Please donate to MAP, one of precious few organisations operating in the north of Gaza.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

In Gaza, where children are dying of malnutrition and families are now eating birdseed, “starvation is being used as a weapon of war” says @Melanie_Ward on @AJEnglish

“It’s not an accident and it could end immediately if the Israeli military would simply open more access points”

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

MAP remains one of the only international organisations on the ground in the north of Gaza where we're providing medical supplies to Al-Shifa Hospital. Your support makes crucial work like this possible.

Our statement in the thread:

On February 29, 2024, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed at least 115 people in Gaza City and injured over 750 more while they were waiting for humanitarian aid.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

🚨Gaza's death toll has hit another horrifying milestone. A staggering 30,000 Palestinians have now been killed by Israel’s military onslaught since 7 October, the majority women and children.

“People are desperate. They don't know anymore what to do. They've lost family members. They've lost their homes. They have been displaced again.”

General Director Meinie Nicolai is currently coordinating MSF medical activities in #Gaza. 📽️ Watch her striking update.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Khaled Hijazi (2 years old) died yesterday at Kamal Idwan Hospital in northern Gaza after his stomach could not handle animal feed.

700,000 citizens in northern Gaza depend on animal feed to survive as Israel cuts off food and water from entry.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

Devastating new data from @LSHTM shows that in the next six months, traumatic injuries caused by Israel's war on Gaza, disease, and lack of healthcare for mothers and newborns is estimated to kill an additional 58,260 Palestinians – unless an immediate #ceasefireNOW is announced.

[Dr. Mustafa Elmasri @Gaza_Psych]

I am seeing cases of nervous shut down in young people, going mute, rigid, emotionally blunt, refusing to eat and staring in the void, occasionally they would speak a few words of being locked inside in intense horror.
3 cases in 1 week.

Life saving efforts in the north of Gaza. Please donate and support MAP:

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

MAP remains one of the only international charities still on the ground in the north of #Gaza, where we're supplying Palestinian families with lifesaving supplies and medical aid.

None of this would be possible without your donations – thank you so much for your solidarity.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

Today marks one month since the ICJ issued provisional measures indicating that there is a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel is required to outline the measures it has taken since 26 January. But this is what has happened in the last month 🧵 (1/6)

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

“The people of Gaza need a ceasefire not when 'practicable,' but now. They need a sustained ceasefire, not a 'temporary period of calm. Anything short of this is gross negligence.”

Here's the full update from MSF Secretary General Christopher Lockyear to the UN Security Council earlier today: https://t.co/B73iyYnyjP
