(Telegraph-UK) Jake Wallis Simons - A UN body, the Famine Review Committee, has debunked the allegation of mass starvation in Gaza.

It turned out that officials who predicted famine had ignored the private food lorries that had been sent into Gaza, as well as deliveries to bakeries by the World Food Program. In Tel Aviv last week, I met a paratrooper officer who had been fighting in Gaza the previous day. Palestinians had surrendered while strapped with explosives, he said, and children had fired on his men. In almost every abandoned house he had found an Arabic copy of Mein Kampf, common as dictionaries. The writer is editor of the Jewish Chronicle-UK.
