“Israel’s words must be matched by action on the ground,” Linda Thomas-Greenfield said. “Right now, that is not happening.”

The US has given its ally until 12 November to "surge" all assistance, with a minimum of 350 lorries entering Gaza daily. But the UN says only 10% of that number have crossed each day on average since then.
...
Ms Thomas-Greenfield said the Biden administration had made clear to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel must address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza immediately and that the US “rejects any Israeli efforts to starve Palestinians in Jabalia, or anywhere else”.

7. How long can a child or adult go without food? Without water?

Without water for sure less than 30 days.

Without food, a child will be stunted for life, if he/she survives.

Starve/be killed or leave is classic forcible transfer, aka ethnic cleansing.

May the General of the "General's Plan" and all those who support this be served justice one day.
