WFP's Matthew Hollingworth on Gaza: 'Famine means failure' | Talk to Al Jazeera

The human cost of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza is becoming increasingly evident.

For those on the ground, the reality is stark and harrowing.

With ongoing bombardments and almost destroyed infrastructure, how are people coping as the food, water and other basic essentials they need, become increasingly scarce?

And is there any way the humanitarian crisis in Gaza can be alleviated?

Matthew Hollingworth, the country director for the World Food Programme in Palestine, talks to Al Jazeera.

Their aim was the total destruction of gaza and not fighting hamas.

[stitchcrafter]

Why isn't there an International Security Force created to accompany & protect the aid trucks going into Gaza? Why isn't Egypt fighting to open that Rafah crossing???

How can a country of 7 million people rule the world? 😢😢🇸🇩🇸🇩🥀🥀

This makes me sick to my stomach. I can't forgive Israel for doing this, I can't imagine the Palestinians forgiving them.

"Any war is a failure of a political process", he says. All the more shameful that the West colluded with Israel in this war on Gaza rather than work on a political solution.

Everyone on the video looks well nourished. There is no famine. I hope the hostages are as well fed.

[janegreen]

The little boy is on survival level and therefore asks for meat and vegetables. He doesn't have the luxury to imagine what he will do with his life.

[johnl]

A famine that has lasted longer than the tigrayan famine but killed less people? How does that work

[nQueen]

They just changed their name since ww2

[yasminakabouche]

Ces images sont inhumaines, difficile à regarder. Pourquoi tant de haine et de violence face à des enfants qui n' ont rien demandés 😢

[joewhite]

Where is the International military force akin to that one that stormed the beaches of Normandy? Is Palestinian life unworthy of such an effort in the face of Genocide?

[yoliewalker]

The ICC and ICJ WILL be RESPECTED by EVERYONE, EVERYONE Thank you 🌹
