Israel is starving Gazan Children to Death, and We Are Enabling Them [1]

From the Israeli Daily, Ha'aretz:
On Tuesday, Gaza's Health Ministry reported that in the last 24 hours alone, 15 people, including four children, had died of starvation or malnutrition. Since the war began, it said, 101 people have died of these causes, including 80 children. And dozens of those deaths occurred in recent days.
Israel cut off all goods from entering the territory in March, but has allowed in a trickle of aid starting in May, mostly distributed by the controversial United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
This disaster had been predicted. Nutritionists and experts on the distribution of humanitarian aid warned the government of exactly this scenario. But despite the dying children, the starving adults and the complete collapse of the food distribution plan that Israel dreamed up, nobody in any Israeli institution seems to feel any urgency.
The United Nations and aid groups trying to deliver food to Gaza say Israel, which controls everything that comes in and out, is choking delivery.
“We have a minimum set of requirements to be able to operate inside Gaza,” Ross Smith, the director of emergencies at the UN World Food Programme, said. “One of the most important things I want to emphasise is that we need to have no armed actors near our distribution points, near our convoys.”
