“Starving Gaza“: Al Jazeera Film Shows U.S. Keeps Arming Israel as It Uses Hunger as a Weapon of War

Support our work: A deliberate, man-made famine is underway in Gaza, according to many human rights experts. Starving Gaza is a new documentary by Al Jazeera English’s Fault Lines investigating how Israel has killed civilians seeking aid and attacked humanitarian networks. The harrowing film is based on the work of Palestinian reporters in Gaza who are suffering the same conditions as their subjects. “They’ve been displaced, they’ve been injured, they’ve watched their own children die in front of them, and yet they somehow conjure the professionalism to pick up a camera and record and tell other people’s trauma,“ says journalist Hind Hassan. “They really will be remembered in history as the titans of journalists.“ Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
