🕯️ This Little Baby Boy Was Starved to Death Today in Gaza

I just want you to know that this continues to happen day in and day out. On our watch. It's not an accident. This is a policy of starvation designed to do this.

I wish I didn’t have to write this.
Another baby boy died of starvation today in Gaza.
His body was carried into Al-Shifa Hospital. The clinicians are out of time, out of supplies, out of food—and now out of another child.

What the video shows

It’s brief, but it tells the whole truth. The camera doesn’t flinch, because the facts don’t flinch. His face is small. His ribs are visible. The room is fluorescent and thin.

The brave journalist who filmed this video, (Basem.In.Sign), is one of the only deaf journalists in all of Gaza. In sign language he tells us that we are seeing a baby boy who was starved to death by the State of Israel.

There is no blood, no blast wound, no smoke—just a living nightmare and a medical team that could not conjure calories from air.

I’ve seen more videos from Gaza than most people will see in a lifetime. I catalog them, verify what I can, archive them because that is what the living owe the dead—to remember, exactly.

And I need you to hear me: starvation is not an accident. It is a policy.

It requires decisions about where food can travel and who is permitted to eat. The law has a name for it: the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. The video doesn’t use those words. It doesn’t need to. The body says it.

I am writing this so he is not reduced to a number. He was a person. He grew in his mother’s belly. He was held. He was sung to. He was loved. He should have had a birthday, and then another one.

I know some of you will say, “Don’t show this.” I understand. I show it because denial depends on our silence. Documentation is not exploitation; it is a shield against erasure. People will tell you no babies are starving. This is the answer.

Objection & Answer (New section where I address the opposition head on.)

Objection: Images like this are manipulative. You’re using grief for politics.
Answer: I won’t let this child be erased by euphemism. Evidence prevents denial. Accountability requires proof. I center his dignity and the facts: a hospital, a date, a cause given by staff, a body that is a skeleton with skin on.
What the evidence shows: Children are starving. If that does not demand speech, nothing does.

I promise you I will keep covering Gaza with the precision and force that these moments deserve—pulling exact quotes, naming the policies, showing the receipts. I will give you the language you can take into rooms that would rather not listen. I will not soften the truth so it can be swallowed without a glass of water.
