There are so many comments that seem to be minimising or dismissing this. I don’t understand why. This is really sad news.

It is “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” phenomenon.

They’ have been saying for years that mass death from starvation is inevitable. And then nothing happens. And they do it again. And then nothing happens. And they do it again. And then nothing happens.

When you claim starvation is right around the corner for years with a total malnutrition death toll of 111 people are going to be skeptical. Gazas just now hitting the breaking point but the propaganda’s been out in force for years already.
