If Israel wants the Ceasefire the FIRST THING must be to open the Gates and let Food and Supplies into their vast destroyed Gaza Prison

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says nearly 3,000 children are at risk of dying before the eyes of their families as they have been cut off from treatment for severe acute malnutrition in southern Gaza.
The figures, based on reporting from UNICEF’s nutrition partners, come as only two of the Gaza Strip’s three stabilization centers that treat seriously malnourished children are functioning.
Palestinian children wounded in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip are treated in al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, on June 9, 2024.
“Horrific images continue to emerge from Gaza of children dying before their families’ eyes due to the continued lack of food, nutrition supplies, and the destruction of healthcare services,” said UNICEF Regional Director for West Asia and North Africa Adele Khodr.
“Unless treatment can be quickly resumed for these 3,000 children, they are at immediate and serious risk of becoming critically ill, acquiring life-threatening complications, and joining the growing list of boys and girls who have been killed by this senseless, man-made deprivation.”

Malnourished children are at heightened risk of catching diseases and other health issues due to limited access to safe water, sewage overflow, infrastructure damage, and a lack of hygiene items.
According to medics, treating a child for acute malnutrition typically takes six to eight weeks of uninterrupted care and requires special therapeutic food, safe water, and other medical support.
“Our warnings of mounting child deaths from a preventable combination of malnutrition, dehydration and disease should have mobilized immediate action to save children’s lives, and yet, this devastation continues,” Khodr said.
“With hospitals destroyed, treatments stopped and supplies scant, we are poising for more child suffering and deaths.”

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has added Israel’s military to a global list of offenders that have committed violations against children.

Israel’s inclusion in the list comes after eight months of devastating war killed more than 15,500 children in Gaza and have created what UN and aid officials call a man-made crisis of near-starvation.
With many of Gaza’s water wells and pipelines destroyed during the military campaign, clean water has become increasingly difficult to find, according to UNRWA, UN agency providing relief to Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip.
The UN agency said in a message on X that children often make long treks to fetch water, lugging heavy containers back to their homes or shelters

UNRWA says 70% of the population is drinking salty and contaminated water since Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza in early October.
Across Gaza, only 1.5 to 1.8 liters of water per day is available to each person, it said.

The US is undergoing large-scale recapitalisation of its nuclear deterrent capability, with warheads central in this process: five warhead programmes are under way, two of which are in production and in-service phases.
The one in production and delivery are the B61-12 air-launched gravity thermonuclear bombs, which are replacing four older, in-service B61 variants; (According to a (DoE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) annual report.. 2023-12-04)
In reality it is Boeing and others putting old warheads in new casings with fancy programmable potency.
Currently, F-16 fighters of Belgium and the Netherlands as well as US F-15E fighters deployed at European military bases, are designated as aircraft for carrying nuclear bombs.
In addition Pentagon contract documents that confirmed that the US Air Force
intends to return the “nuclear mission” to RAF Lakenheath in the UK, possibly to give NATO the option to redistribute its nuclear weapons in times of heightened tensions, or to potentially move them out of Turkey in the future .
Without permission, the US places 2 more Nuclear Missile Destroyers, making Spain Russia’s biggest target.— The Arleigh Burke is one of the newest US «ICBM destroyers». Based at the NATO base in Rota, south of Spain, they make Spain a target for destruction in the first minutes of a Nuclear War, as they are a threat to thousands of Russian warheads that must be fired immediately due to the US First Strike Policy.
Poland and the Baltic countries have asked NATO to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in their territories, and countries including Germany and Italy have called for expanding the authority to use tactical nuclear weapons deployed in Europe to ‘support the region’s defense capacity building’.
Combined with the lack of transparency around nuclear sharing, this moment raises questions about whether citizens in the host states would agree to be complicit when these weapons are used.
However when used it will be already too late for us to demonstrate or complain, as Russia will have no choice but to unleash a Nuclear Response. Firing just one of their new hypersonic unstoppable 200 ton Russian Sarmat-2 missiles (known as Satan-2) would release a dozen 750,000 tons (kilotons) of tnt each warheads, destroying all of Poland and its people in less than 5 minutes.
Followed by destruction of the whole planet. Really! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat
A successful test of Satan-2 in April 2022 “saw the RS-28 traverse roughly 3700 miles in 20 minutes—equating to an average speed of Mach 14.5, or over three miles per second”.
Even if the bombs stay American and the US terrorists retain launch authority, they will most likely be dropped by hysterical warmongering Europeans. If the US decides to use its nuclear weapons located in Germany, the warheads will be loaded onto German planes and a German pilot drops them.
The US recently certified their F35A fighters stationed in European bases to carry the new ‘programmable’ B61-12 nukes now being delivered to German. Belgian, Dutch, Italian and soon British US military bases.
