PNN – In the shadow of the occupying regime’s cruel siege against Gaza at the same time as the barbaric attacks against this strip, Gaza has become a place where children have resorted to eating dirt and sand due to extreme hunger.
While the devastating war of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip is approaching the end of its second year, the strip is experiencing a more disastrous season; where hunger has become a silent weapon to kill people and does not differentiate between babies and the elderly.
Since dawn on Sunday, the consequences of hunger in Gaza have reached their peak and the highest number of deaths among starving Palestinians in this strip has been recorded, both as a result of malnutrition and as a result of the Zionist army firing bullets at the starving near the American-Zionist centers that are death traps.

People who are dying of hunger!
Activists on social networks have shared images of horrific scenes that show the catastrophic stage of hunger in Gaza. These pictures are related to those who are dying of hunger and have resorted to eating dirt to save their lives.
Sand has become food for children in Gaza!
In a painful scene, the activists released a video of a little girl eating sand by the side of the refugee tent in Gaza City, located in the north of the strip. In this video, a little girl, who seems to be no more than 5 years old, is sitting among the debris and using a small stone, she collects sand from the ground and eats it. Gaza is a place where stone has become a spoon and sand has become food!
In another painful scene published by activists on social media, a grieving father in the Zikim district of the northern Gaza Strip weeps bitterly for his son, who died of hunger and was shot by Israeli soldiers while trying to get food.
In this scene, the child is drowned in blood and looks very thin and thin, and as a result of the hunger war of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip and hunger becoming a weapon, he succumbs to death.
The occupying regime is not satisfied with starving the children and all the people of Gaza, but also massacres the hungry Palestinians near the centers of the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation”, which is affiliated with this regime and the United States.
Activists also published pictures of Mohammed al-Sawafiri, a disabled Palestinian citizen in Gaza who died of starvation.
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights issues in the Palestinian territories, commented on this matter and said that the Zionist regime is deliberately starving 2 million people in Gaza and massacring children.
He added: Our generation grew up with the belief that Nazism is the greatest evil in the world, but today there is another side (referring to the Zionist occupation regime) that keeps millions of people hungry and shoots children dead. This is a new abyss of brutality, and how will we escape it?
The European-Mediterranean Human Rights Watch also published a picture of a dead baby in Gaza whose ribs were sticking out from starvation.
This human rights organization emphasized: Another child died of hunger in Gaza. Yahya, who was only three months old, is the 75th child to die in the hunger war of the Zionist regime against Gaza.
Rami Abdo, the founder and head of the European-Mediterranean Human Rights Watch, also published heartbreaking images that show Palestinians in Gaza falling to the ground and unable to walk due to the Israeli regime’s ongoing hunger war against the Gaza Strip.
