I don't know anything about that but the Gazan population cannot supply itself and is dependent on Israel for basic necessities. In the background of that you cannot conclude the intend of genocide, that is ridiculous. On the contrary...

hampered the entry of baby formula => They commit genocide - If the topic were less serious, it would be good comedy...



Gaza is dependent on Israel's permission. Food aid is provided by the UN and other humanitarian organisations, they require Israel's permission to bring that aid into Gaza and not attack it (n.b. attempts since 2010 to deliver aid by boat, such as the MV Rachel Corrie, have been attacked in international waters and the aid never reached Gaza). Israel destroyed the power and water desalination plants, making Gaza dependent on their supply, which has since been used as a weapon.

Why can't Gaza supply itself? There is farmland in Gaza. The Mediterranean sea is right there - plenty of fish.

Other folks are free to Google the answers to these questions.


If they haven't yet, what will get them to look?

Since '93, the range allowed for Palestinian fishing boats has been reduced from 20 to 3 nautical miles by Israeli naval vessels. Because primarily only young fish are found that close to the shore, and because constant damage to infrastructure means untreated wastewater is being dumped close by, it's a pretty bleak picture.


I suspect you haven't heard that Gaza is under a blockade for decades?


Why's it under blockade?
