On Aug 22, the IPC declared “famine” in Gaza City.
Let’s be clear: yes, there are hungry people in Gaza. That is tragic, and no one should minimize their suffering.
But the question is: who is responsible — and who is being blamed?

The IPC report assigns blame to Israel. That’s upside down.
Israel is the only actor in history to feed civilians of an enemy territory — in the middle of a war — while Hamas starves our hostages.
Meanwhile, the UN agencies whose job it is to collect and distribute food trucks often leave them sitting at the crossings.
And Hamas? They steal, hoard, and resell the aid — while building tunnels under hospitals and schools instead of feeding their people.

The data matters too.
July’s complete child malnutrition survey (15,749 kids) showed rates below famine threshold.
IPC ignored it, relying instead on a smaller, outdated sample that made the numbers look worse.
They even claimed “hidden” hunger deaths — while their own cited figure (≈6/day) is 30x lower than the famine threshold.
This isn’t science. It’s a BS loaded headline.

Reality on the ground tells a different story:
100,000+ aid trucks since the war began
80% food
Since May alone: 10,000+ trucks, 5,000 tons of baby food, 2.2 million family food packages, 600,000 meals/day from community kitchens
Israel coordinates daily deliveries, opens multiple crossings, and even organizes airdrops — all during an active war.

Markets don’t lie. Prices of flour, rice, sugar & salt have collapsed since July.
Falling food prices = more supply and more access. That’s the opposite of famine.

I’ve been inside Gaza. I saw lots full of food aid waiting in the sun — undelivered because UN agencies weren’t collecting it.
Calling that “famine” is not humanitarianism. It’s exploitation.
And worse: by blaming Israel, these reports let Hamas completely off the hook — for causing the war, for starving civilians, for stealing aid, and for weaponizing every hospital and school in Gaza.

Let’s be clear again: hunger in Gaza is real. People are suffering. They deserve empathy.
But the blame belongs to:
Hamas, who created this war and weaponizes food.
UN agencies, who fail at distributing aid that Israel already lets in.
Assigning blame to Israel — the one actor actually feeding Gaza — doesn’t help the hungry. It encourages the very forces starving them.

Never in history has a country at war provided this scale of aid to civilians of its enemy. Food. Water. Fuel. Even medical evacuations for thousands of Gazans.
Israel does it daily.
The IPC’s declaration isn’t about food. It’s politics — lowering the bar, ignoring Israeli data, and weaponizing a “neutral” tool to shield Hamas from blame.

Hunger is real. Famine is not.
Israel delivers aid every day. Hamas steals it. UN agencies fail to distribute it.
Empathy requires telling the truth: Gaza’s civilians deserve food, but they also deserve honesty about who is starving them.
Truth matters. Don’t let politicized “science” rewrite reality.
