@jik i don't think there's any dispute that there's a starvation crisis. its scale is what's at issue. i was under the (mis?)impression that trucks were entering at such a trickle that mass famine, under which a substantial fraction of the population would die, is already inevitable. i think it worth understanding whether that's right or not.

even if it's not, that doesn't imply more aid (esp to N Gaza) isn't urgent. if people take the piece as apology for Israel's actions that's bad.
