While Their Babies Starve
Hamas Left Stockpiles of Baby Formula to Rot While Palestinian Babies Starved | WATCH
Heartbreaking footage from Gaza shows tons of discarded, still-sealed baby formula left to rot, raising urgent questions about Hamas hoarding essential supplies and creating a humanitarian crisis that leaves children starving.
A newly surfaced video circulating widely on Arabic-language social media shows thousands of containers of infant formula, many still sealed and within expiration date, dumped in a Gaza warehouse and left to rot.
Palestinian journalist and activist Yasser Alkhatib, who posted the footage, claims the stockpile, estimated at several tons, had been deliberately hoarded by Hamas inside secret warehouses run by the Gaza Ministry of Health for at least the past six months.
According to Alkhatib, the hidden supplies were only discovered and filmed after the brief October ceasefire allowed a surge of humanitarian aid into the Strip, making the earlier withholding unnecessary. He accused Hamas of storing the formula to artificially worsen shortages and bolster international claims that Israel was imposing famine conditions on Gaza’s population.
The video comes as UN agencies continue to warn that thousands of children in Gaza remain at risk of acute malnutrition, despite clear evidence that Hamas is behind their suffering. Questions persist over who controls the territory’s warehouses and how much aid has been diverted by armed groups.
Neither Hamas nor the Gaza Ministry of Health has responded to the allegations at this time. Israel has repeatedly stated that it places no limits on food and medical supplies entering Gaza, provided they reach civilians.
