Took BBC 6 months to even mention Starvation and Israel in the same sentence. Pathetic

¿Why is nobody answering the most obvious of answers? ¿¿WHY CAN'T THE TRUCKS ENTER??

Shame on everyone who is allowing this.
-
The BBC has lost all credibility as an impartial reporter of this conflict...

Don’t start you show with “It is possible”. Start with “It is evident”. Then you can call your self a journalist - which is the most important title to hold, in every society. The new generation is watching. Show the that the truth has worth and importance.

If Israel is allowing all the aid, then why air drops by US and many other countries? Why are those lined up for miles and miles? WHY???

How many people have to starve to death before you call it what it is.

Starvation and famine is one of the oldest methods to get people to give up or leave a territory forever. Starving people don’t have a fighting spirit because they lack strength. Biologically women who are too underweight can stop menstruating meaning loss / impact of fertility. Breastmilk production will cease or automatically be reduced by the body if the mother is too malnourished impacting infants. In WW2 it was reported that malnourished male POW“s stopped having the ability to have erections or any activity of that kind as their bodies were in survival mode only. We know today that bulimia can result in impotency with men as testosterone is not enough produced. And children and the elderly with a weaker immune systems are the first ones affected by starvation. One can only hope that this situation ends swiftly and that enough food reaches these areas at all times.

Plausable? If they wasn't starving people and letting trucks in the why do other countries need to air drop food which is highly dangerous??

It's the BBC , doesn't that tell you something

That reminds me of my country Holland, where in 1945 more than 10,000 people died of hunger due to punishment of the Nazis. We also did see those air drops of food in the 2 weeks before the end of the war, but we had organizations to distribute it! The German did not shoot our police and our terrorists (the Resistance) were well organized and assisted the police. Probably the Nazis also had the opinion that 70% of the Dutch supported the Allied Forces.

The BBC, starvation in Gaza. The BBC then proceeded to show pictures of perfectly well fed people. Then finish with a short video clip of two disabled children. So where are all the starving people?
-
Feed the people! Jesus Christ.

The hostages are not in Gaza anymore. They crossed to Egypt in late February through a tunnel that connects Rafah and Egypt. There are no more hostages in Gaza. The most sophisticated and deep tunnel network in Gaza is in Rafah. This tunnel network connects Rafah and Egypt. Some of these tunnels have 80 meters deep and run for several kilometers. The hostages will only return to the Gaza Strip when a ceasefire agreement is reached.
