As Israel upscales its starvation of Gaza, more than 3,500 children under the age of five now face imminent death by starvation, with an additional 290,000 children on the brink of death. In this powerful visual post, BIHR Director Dalia Qumsieh breaks down the layered realities of starvation in Gaza, and how it is deliberately weaponized as part of Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians.
Through clips from our Ouyoun al-Kalam podcast, this video explores the intersections between starvation, food sovereignty, and political control, arguing that starvation is not merely a humanitarian crisis—but a systemic tool of domination and erasure.
Ultimately, the long-term solution is not humanitarian aid, but the full realization of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and food sovereignty.
