Polish PM Tusk says Warsaw supports "Israel" against terrorism but not its leaders, whose actions lead to starvation and civilian deaths in Gaza.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on Sunday that while Poland stands with the Israeli occupation in its fight against what he described “Islamic terrorism,” it cannot support political decisions that result in the starvation and death of civilians, particularly women and children.

“Poland was, is, and will be on the side of Israel in its opposition to Islamic terrorism,” Tusk wrote on X. “But it will never be on the side of the politicians whose actions lead to starvation and the death of mothers and children. This should be obvious to the nations that went through the hell of World War II together.”

Polska byÅ‚a, jest i bÄ™dzie po stronie Izraela w jego konfrontacji z islamskim terroryzmem, ale nigdy po stronie polityków, których dziaÅ‚ania prowadzÄ… do gÅ‚odu i Å›mierci matek i dzieci. To musi być oczywiste dla narodów, które przeszÅ‚y wspólnie przez piekÅ‚o II wojny Å›wiatowej.

— Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) August 3, 2025

Tusk’s remarks are the latest in a growing chorus of European criticism directed at the Israeli regime over its ongoing war on Gaza, which has now killed over 60,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children, according to Gaza health authorities.

Gaza's youngest starve first

The mounting humanitarian toll in Gaza was underscored by the death of 10-year-old Nour Abu Sala'a, who succumbed to starvation and lack of medical care, an emblem of the spiraling crisis under "Israel’s" months-long blockade, which has cut off food, medicine, and clean water for Gaza’s 2.1 million residents.

In a damning alert released Tuesday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global hunger watchdog, warned that "the worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out" in Gaza. The IPC noted that acute malnutrition, disease, and extreme food deprivation have reached catastrophic levels in several areas, especially Gaza City.

Although Gaza has not yet received a formal famine designation, pending a full assessment, the IPC confirmed it would begin one “without delay". The group, composed of 21 UN agencies and humanitarian organizations, said current data already shows Gaza surpassing famine thresholds for food consumption and child malnutrition.

“Immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access at scale is the only way to prevent more deaths and further catastrophic suffering,” the IPC stated. The organization emphasized that nearly 90% of Gaza lies under evacuation orders or within militarized zones, making food distribution almost impossible.

Al-Awda Hospital warns: Gaza’s children deprived of food 

On the health condition of Gaza's youngest, a senior doctor at al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, central Gaza, has issued a dire warning about the rapidly deteriorating health conditions among children, saying the ongoing Israeli blockade has entirely cut off access to vital nutritional supplements and medical aid.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Dr. Rana Zaiter, head of the Clinical Nutrition Department, confirmed that the hospital is facing a catastrophic shortage of pediatric supplies, placing thousands of vulnerable children at immediate risk.

“Medical aid has not reached us at all,” Dr. Zaiter stated bluntly. She stressed that all reports claiming aid is entering Gaza are “a big lie” and emphasized that essential nutritional treatments, particularly for infants and malnourished children, have been completely halted.

Without these supplements, Dr. Zaiter warned, the hospital cannot meet the basic health needs of Gaza’s children, many of whom are already weakened by months of displacement, hunger, and trauma.

Exacerbating the crisis is the soaring cost of infant formula, now selling for as much as $100 per canister, far beyond the reach of most families in the war-torn Strip. “The price of baby formula has skyrocketed under the blockade,” Dr. Zaiter said, noting that families are being forced to choose between feeding their children and surviving themselves.
