We held a virtual encounter with Al-Farra and his patients this past Monday via a video call. In the past few weeks, we’ve sought to document what starvation looks like in Gaza, to witness the gravity of the situation with our own eyes. Israel doesn’t allow journalists into the Strip, but via video we’ve been able to conduct real-time, online tours of hospitals and clinics.

For this article we conducted four such tours, in different places, and conducted separate conversations with another 12 doctors, 10 of them volunteers from the United States and Britain, who are currently in the Gaza Strip or were there recently. What we saw there left no room for doubt about the scale of the horror.

      Negotiated ceasefires would always have conditions. That’s not an ‘unconditional surrender’.

        We’re at the point where Israel consistently calls everyone in the area hamas, or anyone opposing them. Even if hamas did surrender like that they’d continue because well not all of them laid down their arms, that baby was being trained to shoot us

        This entire thread you’re entire argument is just

        people who have been starved, oppressed and ethnicly cleansed should just surrender to those doing it to them

              No, they’re shooting indiscriminately and not safeguarding civilians and if it’s not a war crime, it should be. All the more reason for the people of Gaza to surrender - just like France did under blitzkrieg. Not a great choice to have to make but it’s insane that Gaza doesn’t surrender.
