This is baby Judy Al-Arouri.
She’s not even six months old yet.
And if nothing changes, she will likely be dead within days.
She’s not dying because of a natural disaster.
She’s not dying because of a medical condition.
She’s not dying because there wasn’t food in the world to save her.
She is dying because Israel will not allow baby formula or milk into Gaza.
Because Israel is deliberately blocking medical supplies, field hospitals, and humanitarian evacuations.
Because this is state-sponsored terrorism — and because the world is complicit.
The video of Judy was filmed by the brave Palestinian journalist @m.saed.gaza and posted to Instagram. In it, you can see her tiny body. Her skeletal frame. Her bones. Her face. Her weight is so low she looks like she could disappear.
She’s not crying.
She’s not moving much.
She is clinging to life with what little strength she has left.
And I need you to understand: this is happening to babies all over Gaza right now.
🏴 We are no longer documenting isolated tragedies. We are documenting the collapse of humanity.
Judy isn’t alone. This week alone we’ve shown you:
Zainab, now dead, filmed wrapped in a burial shroud after starvation took her
Abdul Jawad Al-Ghalban, age 12, who died with nothing left in his body but bones
Rahaf, who shrank from 55 pounds to just 11
Mohammed Al-Sawafiri, a man with special needs who died starving
And now, Judy, just a baby, being killed in slow motion by policies written and approved by governments across the world
This is not famine.
This is forced starvation.
This is not natural.
This is engineered.
This is not war.
This is genocide.
🤬 This is terrorism against babies.
Let me say this as clearly as I can.
When a government:
Blocks food and milk
Bans baby formula from entering a war zone
Bombs hospitals
Denies humanitarian evacuations
And cuts off medicine…
That is terrorism.
When the United States funds it, and the United Nations tiptoes around it, and European powers say nothing — that is global complicity.
Silence is not neutrality.
Silence is permission.
💔 Who will Judy become?
It’s a question I keep asking myself about every baby I’ve shown you.
Who would she have been?
Would she have laughed when her father tossed her into the air?
Would she have spoken early like my own daughters?
Would she have been someone who dreamed of becoming a doctor, or an artist, or a teacher?
Would she have survived this genocide and gone on to rebuild her people’s future?
We’ll never know.
Because they are killing her right now — slowly, deliberately, with starvation.

You won’t see Judy’s story on CNN.
Or in The New York Times.
Or on the BBC.
You’ll only see her here.
Because the world has decided her life isn’t worth covering.
We are deciding the opposite.
So comment below.
Share this story.
Say her name.
Show this to the people who claim to care about children.
And ask them why they’re silent.
With grief and fury,
