"imaginary starving children."
#83 | Posted by censored
There is substantial and credible evidence from multiple authoritative sources that children in Gaza are indeed suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation in 2025, and these children are not imaginary.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a sharp increase in malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza in July 2025, including 24 children under five who died showing clear signs of severe wasting upon arrival at health facilities. Nearly one in five children under five in Gaza City is acutely malnourished, with many admitted for treatment of severe acute malnutrition. Hospitals and specialized treatment centers are overwhelmed, supply shortages are critical, and the health system is near collapse due to ongoing conflict and blockades[1].
- UN-backed food security groups report that famine thresholds have been met across Gaza, with thousands of children malnourished and hunger-related deaths rising. More than 20,000 children sought treatment for acute malnutrition between April and July 2025, thousands classified as severely malnourished. Gaza hospitals are noting a rise in hunger-related child deaths, with at least 16 children under five reported dead from hunger-related causes since mid-July[2][3].
- The UN World Food Programme and other UN agencies warn that Gaza is on the brink of famine, with more than 500,000 people enduring famine-like conditions and malnutrition levels quadrupling among children under five in Gaza City. The crisis is fueled by conflict, infrastructure collapse, and severe humanitarian aid restrictions[3][4].
- UNICEF and other humanitarian groups also confirm the grim reality of widespread starvation and malnutrition among children in Gaza, describing children as "starving to death" and facing a rapidly worsening nutrition crisis that is greater than ever since the conflict began[6][7][8].
These reports come from independent international health and humanitarian organizations closely monitoring Gaza's situation. They document measurable evidence such as hospital admissions, malnutrition screenings, death tolls with clear physical signs of starvation, and famine-level food insecurity indicators. This overwhelmingly confirms that the starving children in Gaza are real and that the humanitarian crisis is severe and ongoing.
There is no credible reason or evidence to believe that the starvation and malnutrition among children in Gaza are fabricated or imaginary. They are a documented and tragic consequence of the conflict, blockade, and restricted humanitarian access in the region.
