says she no longer has breast milk to give him

Then give him solid food? I understand that food is scarce, but it feels weird seeing a fat mom and a skin-and-bones child. Comparing this and the Yemen famine, you see skinny adults. It's weird.

I'm probably overly cynic, but I can see the Gazans use their kids as a propaganda tool - they will die as martyrs, after all! Not to mention that 75% of Gazans would vote either Hamas or the other terrorist group. That does leave me weary of possible propaganda.

That being said: they do not deserve to die or be genocided. Full stop.
