If a population of 2.2 million were distilled into 100 people, here’s what each one would have experienced amid Israel’s attacks
This is not the first time that food has been weaponized against people in Gaza. In 2012, during a blockade imposed by Israel, documentsthat calorie counts were used in order to permit minimum amounts of food and avoid a humanitarian disaster that might draw criticism.
No such effort has been made in recent months. Last month, Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food,the Guardian: “There is no reason to intentionally block the passage of humanitarian aid or intentionally obliterate small-scale fishing vessels, greenhouses and orchards in Gaza – other than to deny people access to food.
Rafah, the southernmost province of Gaza, had a prewar population of 280,000; now it holds almost 1.5 million people, most of them in tents that are not able to provide adequate shelter during cold and rainy weather, let alone offer sanitation facilities., diseases that spread in close quarters “are thriving” now in Gaza. Doctors have observed “numerous cases of meningitis, skin rashes, scabies, lice and chickenpox”.of the characters you see here were refugees before October.
The 15% of Gazans who have not been displaced from their homes are not necessarily any less vulnerable than their displaced neighbors. Frequently, those who stay are compelled to do so because disability makes movement impossible. Prior to 7 October,of Palestinians in Gaza had a disability but that number could easily have doubled based on the injury rate of Israeli attacks. When someone is too unwell to evacuate, family members are often reluctant to leave them behind.
