Food aid is piling up inside Gaza. Here's why it's not reaching those in need

Deceptichum , 2 hours ago

Just a reminder that Israel has targeted food aid multiple times this year.

If the food is piling up, it’s because Israel has killed them people who could distribute it and will shoot anyone who tries to.

End terrorism, end Israel.

Israel blames the United Nations agencies responsible for collecting this aid and distributing it inside Gaza, saying they need to urgently step up aid deliveries.

Of course they do, it couldn’t possibly be because the IDF is a rapid dog off the leash that kills anything that moves, including (or rather, especially) aid orgs and journalists.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

They park on the Israeli side and forklift drivers jump into action, loading huge sacks of flour, along with boxes of watermelons, mangoes, tomatoes and onions.

But here’s the catch: Much of this humanitarian aid is piling up on the Gaza side of the border instead of traveling the last few miles to those suffering in the 10th month of the war between Israel and Hamas.

“Mr. Hadi witnessed the consequences of the breakdown in public order and safety as he entered and exited the Kerem Shalom crossing,” the U.N. relief agency said in a statement.

Hadi also visited the nearby city of Khan Younis, described as being “largely reduced to sand and rubble, without a single structure left untouched.”

Israel counters by saying that for the past month it has paused military operations along a 7-mile corridor during daylight hours to allow aid to move from the Kerem Shalom crossing to areas where Palestinians are concentrated in large numbers.

Independent experts say Gaza is at risk of famine and the entire population is struggling without enough food as families report going two and three days on a single meal.
