KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — A mother pressed a final kiss to what remained of her 5-month-old daughter and wept. Esraa Abu Halib’s baby now weighed less than when she was born.
On a sunny street in shattered Gaza, the bundle containing Zainab Abu Halib represented the latest death from starvation after 21 months of war and Israeli restrictions on aid.
The baby was brought to the pediatric department of Nasser Hospital on Friday. She was already dead. A worker at the morgue carefully removed her Mickey Mouse-printed shirt, pulling it over her sunken, open eyes. He pulled up the hems of her pants to show her knobby knees. His thumb was wider than her ankle. He could count the bones of her chest
Donating to people within Gaza does nothing to solve the issue. It only drives up the price.
Donate to independent journalists and comedians who cover the genocide instead.

It’s very cold and calculated but there’s no other option right now.
Israel is currently letting in aid because of the massive international outrage.
Don’t forget how little Israel spends on their media and how much it gets in return. Journalists like Dropsitenews are worth their weight in gold.
I’ve never donated, as this is Israel, and they’re killing people who try to get aid in. I’m pretty sure the money goes nowhere.

I appreciate you clarifying.
The donations do go to people in Gaza but they use the money to buy food from the Abu Shabab ISISrael gang and the likes.
It does nothing to solve the issue. We need to change public opinion first.
