🟥 He’s 10. He weighs 19 pounds.
His name is Nafez Mohammed Nasser.
And he is being starved to death — not by nature, but by policy.
Nafez is a 10-year-old child in Gaza.
And this week, his weight has dropped to just 9 kilograms — 19.8 pounds.
That’s the average weight of a 9-month-old baby.
This is not a statistic.
This is a boy. A son. A soul.
Being slowly erased.
📉 No disease. Just hunger.
Nafez suffers from a disability, severe malnutrition, and a collapsing health condition.
He has now been moved between multiple hospitals across Gaza.
Still, he has received no effective treatment.
Doctors have not identified any disease — because there isn’t one. He just needs specialized food and it’s currently illegal for what he needs to enter Gaza. Period.
It’s starvation.
It’s isolation.
It’s a complete siege — maintained and funded by the governments of Israel and the United States.
🆘 His family is begging the world to act
They’ve issued an urgent plea to humanitarian and international organizations:
Please evacuate him.
Please treat him abroad.
Please save his life.
But no aid is coming.
And no permission has been granted.
❓ Where is the world?
Where are the human rights agencies?
Where are the leaders who talk about freedom and dignity?
Where are the media outlets that claim objectivity?
Why is it that when a child is Palestinian, the world forgets how to feel?
⚖️ This is genocide by starvation
It’s not a famine.
It’s not drought.
It’s not mismanagement.
It is deliberate starvation.
This is a war crime.
And Nafez is the evidence.
📸 This video was filmed by the brave Palestinian journalist Mostafa Salah.
He risked his life to bring this truth to the world.
Let us not waste it.
✍🏽 You are now a witness
If you’ve read this, you can no longer say you didn’t know.
Now the question is: What will you do with that truth?
