“Aid workers in Gaza told the Guardian that prices for essentials had risen further in recent days, warehouses were empty and humanitarian teams treating malnourished children were being forced to divide rations designed for one between two patients to give both a chance of survival.”

Israel doesn’t care much.

Isn’t that the point of a blockade?

That’s what Israel is trying to do, it’s a forced blockade to ensure starvation of the local population. Medical aid is also blockaded, so people die of curable disease / wounds. There is no indication that this will stop until all gazans are dead.

I have zero doubt that gazans would do the same thing if the roles were reversed.

Two religions have entwined in a death spiral that has not stopped for 1,500 years. That’s how religions work, they fight to the death for the honor of their fictional gods.

Yes exactly. All israel do is protecting themself. A pre-emptive genocide if you will

1,500 years is a bit off, Islam wasn’t even founded until 610, it’s the “New Kid” of the Abrahamic religions, unless you count all the Christianity variants.
