Fair warning — this is a soul-crushing story from the BBC:

BBC returns to Gaza baby left hungry by Israeli blockade

Malnourished five-month-old baby Siwar is now out of hospital in Gaza - but as we found, she and her family are struggling.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

“… For 19 months of war, and now under a renewed Israeli offensive, this local cameraman - who I do not name, for his safety - has listened to the anguished cries of the survivors in hospital courtyards.

His physical distance is respectful, but they are on his mind, day and night. He is one of them, trapped in the same claustrophobic hell.

This morning he is setting out to find Siwar Ashour, a five-month-old girl whose emaciated frame and exhausted cry at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis affected him so much, when he was filming there earlier this month, that he wrote to tell me something had broken inside him.

She weighed just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be about 6kg or over.…”

The embedded video in the link is damned near unwatchable but we shouldn’t look away.
 
The Israeli government has become just as bad as Hamas. This isn't going to end until one side wipes out the other or the Palestinians are under apartheid from Isreal.
 

The clothes were strewn on a ridge dotted with olive and almond trees, perched above a highway in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. On rust-colored earth sprinkled with wildflowers were a torn black T-shirt, black Converse socks and a pair of Nike Air white sneakers.

Nearby lay a pair of bloodied, gray Nike sweatpants and a black hoodie perforated with holes.

Here, on April 6, near Turmus Aya, a village in the West Bank where most of the residents have U.S. citizenship, Israeli soldiers gunned down Amer Rabee a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy who was born in New Jersey. The military handed over his naked, bullet-ridden body a few hours later in a blue body bag, according to his family.

This was designed to happen — virtually every foreign aid organization that reviewed this U.S./Israeli plan predicted it was the (intended) outcome.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they shoot at or bomb them. It wouldn’t be the first time.
 
JFC. Talk about the trope of “take care when fighting monsters, lest you become one.”
