heard a long gone song

You’re starting to see more images of food in the markets, of prepared meals in community kitchens, stalls serving modified menus. The word “famine” is not being used as much. This is the plan, this is part of the modified and strategically engineered genocide.

To meet aid delivery quotas and to pacify an international audience who became increasingly more alarmed at the images of starving children, the occupation is letting in more goods. But what is being let in is certainly not quality, but quantity, and certainly of limited nutritional value.

The occupation is providing Palestinians in Gaza with sugary soft drinks, candy, instant noodles, canned goods, anything with a high calorie count in order to bulk up the population but without giving them healthy or nutritions food. Where is the chicken, the meat, vegetables and fruit? They are controlling Palestinian’s diets, making sure their consumption leads to diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and other ailments.

Our teams are still providing meals for families and on October 13, Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal) x The Sameer Project distributed 200 hot meals of rice at Jenan Camp 3 near Hamad City in Khan Younis. [X]

For less than $6 per meal you can help feed families that have no one else to rely on, no source for nutrition and care. Donate to the South Campaign.
