“A Loaf of Bread: The Cry of Gaza’s Children”
How much cruelty must Palestinian children endure before the world says enough?A recent report lays bare the unbearable suffering in Gaza, where malnourished infants like baby Shadia cling to life as Israeli forces continue to blockade aid—now for over 80 days—resulting in widespread hunger. Her brother Jihad, born just after the war began in 2023, begs his mother for dough and bread. Their parents, living in a tent, survive on one meager meal a day.
Another mother, Hanaa al-Najjar, watched her undernourished toddler Muhanned die from hunger-related illness. Her surviving children suffer from chronic infection, weight loss, and food-related illness, as she grinds dried lentils to mimic bread.
This is not collateral damage. This is the systematic starvation of children—a crime against humanity funded by U.S. tax dollars. Why aren’t Christian and Jewish faith leaders protesting loudly against this savagery? Why do American politicians remain silent while our supposed ally violates every moral and humanitarian principle?
The question is no longer “Who are the terrorists?” but rather: Who are we, if we enable this?
Until there is a ceasefire and full restoration of humanitarian aid, we remain complicit in this daily barbarity.
