We've done so many shows about how bad things have gotten in Gaza,

that I'm not sure how to tell you that things have gotten worse.

But looking around, that's the unmistakable conclusion.

The basics go like this.

This week, more than 100 aid agencies in human rights groups,

including Doctors Without Borders and Save the Children,

started warning that mass starvation is spreading across the region.

Some of those starving people are reporters.

A photographer for Ajean's France Press told his bosses, he's so hungry he can no longer walk.

And when people show up to claim what little food there is, they risk death.

The UN now estimates that more than 600 people have been killed in the vicinity of AIDS sites.

Many of them were shot.

The images that accompany these stories are relentless.

You know, I've been dealing with images of war in the Holocaust

for all of my professional career, which started in the late 70s.

But I must say, in the last few months, for me, personally, it's become harder

and harder to actually watch the images. Omar Bartoff feels like bearing witness to what's

happening is part of his job. He's Israeli. He's a professor of Holocaust studies at Brown. So he sifts through what he can.

There are images from reporters, posts from everyday people, and then the stuff posted by

Israeli soldiers, some of it outright hateful.

Omer's studied enough conflict that he's not surprised that these images alone aren't changing the way people around the world see Gaza.

Historically, he says, images just can't do that.
