Gaza Starves Under Siege While Arab Leaders Indulge in Extravagance
As Israel blocks food and medical aid, two million Palestinians face starvation. Meanwhile, some Arab leaders host lavish banquets and embrace normalization, turning their backs on Gaza’s suffering.
Watan-Gaza is suffocating from hunger, besieged by death and oppression, while some Arab leaders indulge in lavish banquets and gatherings filled with Zionist guests. More than two weeks have passed since the occupation sealed the crossings, blocking the entry of food and medical aid into the strip, leaving two million people facing slow death—as the world watches in disturbing silence.
Amid the ruins of destroyed buildings and streets turned into open graves, Palestinians break their fast with whatever food remains, while children scramble for a piece of bread or a spoonful of broth. Water is scarce, and 90% of Gaza’s population faces starvation, as the occupation continues its deliberate policy of collective punishment, seeking to break Gaza’s spirit through siege and deprivation.
Betrayal in the Face of Starvation
As Gaza’s children die from hunger, some Arab leaders host extravagant iftar feasts, spending millions, and even welcoming Zionist officials—a scene that embodies the shameful contrast between a nation suffocating under siege and others racing toward normalization.
Instead of breaking their fasts in solidarity with Gaza, some are bowing to Netanyahu, who weaponizes hunger as revenge for his military failures in the Strip.
Echoes of Hunger and Resistance
During Ramadan, the month of prayer and mercy, the echoes of mosques’ calls to prayer mix with the cries of the starving in displacement camps, where families go to sleep hungry, raising their hands to the sky, pleading for relief.
How long will the Palestinian people remain abandoned, fighting alone on all fronts, while their supposed brothers are preoccupied with political alliances and self-interest?
A History That Will Not Forget
As Gaza is starved into submission, the question remains: Where is the so-called Arab solidarity? Where is the outrage over children dying from lack of food and water?
The days pass, and the suffering worsens, but history will not forget—nor forgive those who abandoned Gaza in its most desperate hour.
