The "stories" being told to alleviate the conscience and deny it was the IDF - are ridiculous.

There is other evidence nicely ignored too, like the fact many were shot precisely in the head and chest or suffered shrapnel wounds, per the Red Cross an the UK-based Aid for Palestine - people at the field hospitals where the victims were taken.

I would add that starving people for 3 months, baiting them with the food you've denied them, setting up death traps for them through negligence or worse and then killing the hungry and desperate is not just unmitigated cruelty but evidence that Israel's intent is to starve Palestinians out of Gaza and make conditions so unbearable they will have no choice but to leave.

The GHF scam originally allotted for only 60% of Palestinians to have food (guess the rest can starve/leave). But since its roll-out, it has managed to feed only 13% of Gaza's population, according to the Guardian (if that even). It also limits aid to food only - no water, medicine, fuel for cooking, or basic essentials for human dignity. So of course disease will spread. As the final kick in the teeth, the food is dry or dehydrated foods that require water and cooking.

The cruelty seems calculated.
