3. אני בעד להרעיב את החמאס בעזה.
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Health Ministry in Gaza, has warned of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged enclave. He said residents of Gaza are facing a severe famine, with many surviving only on salt and water for days. “Some people have lost up to 25 kilograms in recent weeks,” he noted, describing the situation as widespread across the population.

He cited alarming findings from a recent health survey of pregnant women and children, which revealed that over 50% now suffer from acute malnutrition, a sharp increase from just 0.5% at the start of the month. Al-Bursh called the figures “terrifying jumps” that point to total nutritional collapse.
He accused the Israeli Occupation of deliberately creating crises and committing a slow-motion genocide against civilians. Over 13% of Gaza’s population, he said, are crammed into an area no larger than one square kilometer, around 40,000 people living in what he called a “maze of death.”
