   "Lynch has seen a memo entitled “Famine Inevitable, Changes Could Reduce but Not Stop Widespread Civilian Deaths,” which was produced by food security experts in US AID and the State Department, and which they sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken. These US officials gave the memo a subheading that is damning for the Israeli government of PM Benjamin Netanyahu: “Israel-imposed administrative challenges are preventing the delivery” of food"

     "So two things are being asserted:

     1. Famine in Gaza is now unavoidable and will kill many civilian noncombatants even if more food aid starts getting in now.

     2. The responsibility for this starvation of children, women and noncombatant males lies squarely with Israel, which is obstructing food aid deliveries"

     Conclusions of a memo to Anthony Blinken from US State Dept officials seen by foreign policy journalist Colum Lynch.
