Almost 55,000 children in Gaza acutely malnourished, Lancet study estimates

Study shows clear link between Israeli restrictions on aid entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children Almost 55,000 children in Gaza are estimated to be acutely malnourished, far more than have so far been identified as victims of the potentially lethal condition, a study published in the Lancet, the respected international medical periodical, has revealed. The study, published on Wednesday, and led by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), offers a month-by-month breakdown through much of the two-year conflict, and shows for the first time a clear link between Israeli restrictions on supplies entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

The concluding paragraph of #ScienceUnderSiege
(www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...)

And so we choose to do battle against the forces of darkness,
#ghting back against a malevolent movement that represents all that
is bad in the world— fascism, authoritarianism, racism, misogyny,
and bigotry— a movement that uses antiscienti#c disinformation as
its preferred weapon. We do this not because our success is guaranteed.
Given the forces mobilized against us, we are clearly the underdog.
And no white wizard will come to our rescue. But we have truth
and justice on our side. And the stakes simply couldn’t be greater. We
#ght for a livable planet, for us, our children, and future generations.
Because it’s worth #ghting for.8
