Gaza blockade starves babies; they lack energy
Doctors in Gaza report babies are starving in hospitals due to a three-month-long humanitarian aid blockade, with some infants lacking the energy to cry. The Israeli blockade, intended to pressure Hamas, has severely impacted vulnerable populations, leading to malnutrition and critical shortages of medical supplies, according to medical professionals. New mothers struggle to breastfeed, and babies lack access to essential milk and formula. Amidst the crisis, Israel plans to expand its military campaign in Gaza, sparking fears of a total occupation, while humanitarian agencies warn of impending famine. Meanwhile, some Israeli reservists are refusing to serve, citing concerns over the war's direction.
