"💢 Israel’s Minister for Strategic Affairs explains that the starvation in Gaza is being carefully managed. Ron Dermer—Netanyahu’s lead on ceasefire talks—admitted that Israel is monitoring hunger levels and modulating aid accordingly: “You don’t have famine. You didn’t have it then and you don’t have it now. You know why? ’Cause we monitor it very closely. Anytime we see any sign of a real danger of something happening, the trucks go in. That’s what happened about a month ago.” The World Food Programme said this week that one in three people in Gaza are now going multiple days without food." - Source
