Backstory on growing famine in Gaza:
Food aid now comes through one (1) US evangelical Christian nonprofit. It didn't even exist until March.
They have only 4 dropoff points. And people who come to pick up food get shot at.

![Screenshot from MoJo article. "Most aid is just simply not approved to enter," explains Moran. "We have nutrition supplies, medical supplies, medicine that has been sitting for months ready to come in Gaza, that's in the region, just outside the borders, and does not have approvals to come in. And that is true for a lot of NGOs and a lot of [United Nations] agencies."](https://social.trom.tf/photo/preview/640/30604263 "Screenshot from MoJo article. \"Most aid is just simply not approved to enter,\" explains Moran. \"We have nutrition supplies, medical supplies, medicine that has been sitting for months ready to come in Gaza, that's in the region, just outside the borders, and does not have approvals to come in.

So there isn't enough food. People can't reach what food & medicine there is, because they have to walk through air strike zones to get to it. And those who do show up, get shot at.
Not hard to figure out why people are dying from hunger.
