I strongly doubt its only 453. The lack of clean drinking water must have killed thousands already and that falls into the starvation category imo. Or is there are a separate number for that?
This is pure direct starvation from lack of food. Not indirect murder through hygenics.
People die from dehydration much faster than from starvation tho. If you are already not that healthy and only have access to food with little water in it, then 2 days without water will kill you. If you drink polluted water then you might get diarrhea which means you lose even more water and then you are definitely dead.
Yes. Gaza health ministry is doing Palestinians a huge disservice by not reporting those numbers.
I think they were referring to dehydration but yeah, cholera probably isn't good for anyone.
