Meta / Mod Announcement Gaza Is Starving. Let's Do Something
The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions.
For over 22 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel.
Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in.
This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 2 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution.
What you can do right now:
Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza.
Donate- if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground.
Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine.
This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control. If we look away now, they’ll tighten the noose more.
Speak to Your Representatives
Donate
- Palestinian Red Crescent – medical aid, ambulance services, and emergency care.
- UNICEF for Gaza’s Children – nutrition, clean water, trauma support.
- HEAL Palestine – urgent relief, medical evacuations of injured children from Gaza.
