The hunger crisis unfolding in Gaza
Manage episode 497467826 series 2517988
The United Nations this week warned that “widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease” are contributing to a rise in hunger-related deaths across the Gaza Strip. This comes as the flow of aid into Gaza has slowed in recent months and the price of food has increased drastically. On the show today, Reema shares what life looks like for her family there right now. And, we’ll get into the growing international pressure on Israel to lift barriers that organizations have faced in delivering aid.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "In Gaza, mounting evidence of famine and widespread starvation" from UN News
- "How Food Supplies in Gaza Have Dwindled Under the New Israeli Aid Plan" from The Wall Street Journal
- "The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Can Feed Starving Gazans" from The Wall Street Journal
- "What’s Happening in Gaza? FAQ: Hunger and Humanitarian Aid" from World Food Program USA
- "A famine hasn't been declared in Gaza, but that may not matter, experts say" from ABC News
"A conversation with Baba" from “This Is Uncomfortable”
We love hearing from you. Leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART or email [email protected].
