Open air prisons? With a population density less than that of a typical american city? Malnutrition wasn’t even a problem before the war. This open air prison narrative is just pure bullshit.
As for “controlling the flow of goods in and out” you have absolutely no legs to stand on. Even with import inspections in place Hamas has been consistently firing rockets into Israel hoping to murder random civilians since their inception.
“For years before the latest war, Gaza was subject to an Israeli blockade, backed by Egypt. Under the blockade, humanitarian aid, including food and commercial imports, was tightly restricted. Even so, levels of malnutrition among Gaza’s roughly 2.2 million people were low and comparable to those of countries in the region.”
it had been in decline since Israel walled them off and took all the good cropland, leaving them at the mercy of foreign aid, which itself is restricted by… you’re not going to believe this… israel
While Increased movement is a positive trend, it has not yet been translated into meaningful improvements in
humanitarian indicators; a full lifting of the blockade is required, among other solutions to the root causes. As of
July 2022, the food insecurity rate in Gaza was 65 per cent, up from 62.2 per cent in June 2021, and the poverty rate
stood at 65 per cent, up from 59 per cent in 2021

Straight from the mouth of a cretin who regurgitates the same bullshit talking points you do, so presumably you should have no problem trusting them.

this doesn’t mean israel didn’t have them under seige.
The point is that Israel had a damn good reason to have the strip “under siege”.
Did you expect them to just sit there and do nothing to prevent them from overwhelming the iron dome??? What the fuck is wrong with you
no, I expect them to give the right of return to the refugees
this isnt a rebuttal
