Residents of Gaza have criticized the international community online, citing its complicity and inaction in response to the Israeli-made blockade that has led to widespread starvation in the enclave, with people collapsing in the streets due to severe hunger.

Taking to social media, Gazans are sharing a unified message with the world: “We are dying of hunger” and “Gaza is starving.”

Journalist Anas al-Sharif wrote in X: “I have not stopped reporting for a single moment over the past 21 months. Today, I speak with deep pain and honesty: I am weakened by hunger, shaking from exhaustion, and constantly battling the urge to faint… Gaza is dying—and we are dying with it.”

“If the world does not act today, there may be no one left tomorrow to hope for rescue. Gaza is starving.”

Journalists also held a vigil to protest the Israeli suffocating blockade, chanting, “Gaza residents are dying of hunger.

Journalist Abdallah al-Attar wrote: “I’m a journalist writing this, and tears are falling from my eyes. I’m hungry, and there’s nothing to eat. This little girl, Amal Al-Bayouk, is dying of hunger right before our eyes. We appealed to the whole world to help her get treatment abroad, but no one listened! Every day, we say goodbye to a child because of hunger, and if things stay like this… it will be our turn next.”

Ahmed Jomaa, a YouTuber from Gaza, shared a photo of himself with a banner that reads, “Gaza is starving.

“If things keep going like this for a few more days, we’ll all starve to death,” photojournalist Omar El Qattaa wrote.

“During the first famine campaign by Israel in northern Gaza, people were eating animal feed and barley. But now, in this second famine, even that’s gone… And whatever is available, you need to take out a loan just to afford it every time you go to the market,” Samah Ahmed said.

“My son has been crying. He’s hungry. There’s not even any food to buy!” a desperate father screams in the middle of a market in Gaza.

Several videos circulating on social media show children in Gaza searching through rubbish for food. One video shows three children standing and eating from a pile of garbage on the street.

A mother posted a video of her little daughter crying for food, repeatedly saying “food, food,” and adding, “I will not forgive anyone complicit in our starvation.”

“We are living in a real famine,” 11-year-old Renad Attallah wrote on Instagram.
