Doctors treating the daily influx of children #starving under Israel’s total blockade on aid , say some are so undernourished that they have started to lose their sight.

“The majority of cases are between 1 month and 2 yo,” says Dr Raed Al-Baba, a gastroenterologist & nutritionist at Al-Awda Hospital in northern #Gaza. He helps treat around 100 #children brought in daily, mostly because of hunger.

It seems to be tolerated that large machines mow down unarmoured human beings

"In the case of a crash, SUVs and LTVs cause more severe injuries to pedestrians and cyclists than passenger cars. This effect is larger for fatalities than for KSIs, and the fatality effect is particularly large for children... The Injury severity, defined either as ‘fatal versus non-fatal injury’ or as ‘killed or seriously injured (KSI) versus slight injury’. Pedestrians and cyclists are about 44% more likely to be killed when hit by an SUV or light truck (e.g. a van or big ute) compared to a passenger car."

"The streets no longer belonged to the people who lived there, but to huge traffic flows... It took the intolerable toll of child traffic deaths – and fierce activism – to turn Amsterdam into the cycling nirvana of today."

In 2024, SNAP served an average of 42M people each month, acc/to the #USDA, at a cost of $100B. Only some categories of lawfully present noncitizens are eligible to receive SNAP benefits, & those without legal status can never qualify. However, a noncitizen parent without legal status may apply for the assistance on behalf of their #children who are #UScitizens.

"Gates himself announced this week that his own charitable organization, the Gates Foundation, is on track to go out of business by 2045 because by that time it will have completed its mission of giving away virtually all of Gates’s personal fortune."

Gates is both announcing he is speeding up the dispersement of his wealth in these awful Trumped times, but is also specifically exposing and attacking the billions is USAID that Elon and Trump have cancelled.

Food to rot, not delivered to children.

AIDS to spread.

People who are unaware of Trump Musk murdering children because billionaires own the press, WILL HEAR Bill Gates.

Bill Gates plans to give away most of his fortune by 2045, blasts Musk Americas In a sweeping philanthropic pledge, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates announced Thursday that he will give away nearly his entire $108 billion fortune by 2045. Gates also launched a blistering attack on Elon Musk, accusing the Tesla and SpaceX CEO of “killing the world’s poorest children” by orchestrating cuts to US foreign aid.

"'The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one,' Gates told the Financial Times. 'I'd love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money.'"
