This Week, Israel Starved 43 People to Death by Wednesday Afternoon. The Gaza War Is in a Fatal New Phase
For Israeli decision-makers, starvation of the Gaza Strip was in the cards from day one of the war

About 30,000 people live in the southern Israeli city of Sderot. Imagine that the refrigerators of all Sderot residents are empty. In fact, they don't even have refrigerators. The bakeries are closed. The supermarket shelves offer nothing. Residents are hungry. And then, once every 24 hours, a single truck enters the city gates and distributes food, door to door. And the food on that truck? That's all there is, for the entire city.
About 30,000 people also live in Or Akiva. And in Arad. Each city gets one truck a day.
Will the residents of Sderot still be hungry by the end of the day? And what will happen after a week? And after a month?
According to official data from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, which is responsible for carrying out the government's civilian policy in those areas, an average of 71 trucks entered the Gaza Strip each day over the past month. Seventy-one trucks meant to feed 2.1 million people. One truck for every 30,000. Half of the trucks made it to a distribution center but the other half of them, brought in by the United Nations and various aid organizations, were looted en route.
It's a pitiful amount of food. But one can only wish the Sderot scenario was the reality in Gaza. The situation there is much worse.
In Gaza, the truck does not distribute food door to door. Half of the food it carries is unloaded in large piles in remote military zones. The gates there open for just 15 minutes a day, according to a random schedule. You're reading that right: 15 minutes a day.
People loot the other half of the goods straight from the trucks. In both cases, those who manage to get to the food are almost exclusively young men, those who can carry heavy loads, run fast and are willing to risk their lives.
Over 1,000 have died so far while crowding around to get food, since late May, most of them from Israel Defense Forces gunfire.
What happens to those who can't make it to the trucks or the distribution centers? What about the women, the disabled, the sick, the elderly? What about the unlucky?
They are starving to death.
Gaza and Sderot are a world apart. Two million Gazans have been starving, to varying extents, for nearly two years now. Throughout this time, most of them have eaten almost no vegetables, fruit, dairy products, meat or fish. They live in tattered tents, among rubble, without even the most basic sanitation. Their blood lacks sufficient iron, vitamins and protein; their immune systems are on the verge of collapse.
The food packages being distributed contain flour, rice and chickpeas, but there's no cooking gas in the Strip, and no firewood.
Many people died in Gaza this week. Many were killed in IDF strikes, some died of their wounds, others succumbed to illness. Starting this week, we must also count how many people are dying of starvation. As of this writing on Wednesday afternoon, 43 people died since the beginning of the week because Israel starved them.
