UN denounces war crimes in conflict for first time and Palestinian refugee agency warns many will soon starve to death
“In the beginning, people could go to the market or to the stores. Now, no more. Stores have empty shelves. People are struggling to get food, but there are already people starving in Gaza,” warns Nebal Farsakh, spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent, speaking over the phone.
At a press conference in Jerusalem, the commissioner general of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, insisted that “many” Palestinians will die “soon,” not because of the bombings, but because of the consequences of the complete blockade imposed by Israel. His colleagues in Gaza, 57 of whom have lost their lives in the three weeks of air strikes, have begun to report to him the first cases of starvation inside the Strip, he added.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip stands at 7,326, of whom 3,038 are children, according to data from the Gaza Health Ministry.

UN: "like, could you just please not do that we're not gonna do anything, but like, please dont idk"
It's easy to criticize, what's your suggested alternative to the UN?
I'd just like to know they were doing anything beyond a statement of disapproval.
The UN is a massive organization with many parts that do all kinds of things constantly. It's not supposed to be the world police, it's supposed to foster communication collaboration.
