Probably by Hamas themselves

On the menu today: The fast-moving news cycle is a clumsy administration’s best friend. This weekend, the Biden administration got what it wanted when it announced the construction of a U.S.-taxpayer-funded pier in the Gaza Strip — happy headlines about the U.S. military starting to deliver aid to the Palestinians, many of whom really are desperate. And in what probably counts as a small miracle, Hamas hasn’t attempted to bomb or otherwise attack the pier yet. But there’s a little catch, in that the food aid is getting stolen before it can reach the World Food Program warehouse . . . just eight miles away. Once the food aid leaves the pier, the United Nations, international partners, and the “humanitarian community” oversee getting the aid to those who need it most. And they’re getting robbed, hijacked, and mugged. Hey, as President Biden said of the national baby-formula shortage in 2022, the only

Gee wonder WHY DUH!

Israel-Hamas war: UN suspends Rafah food aid

UN says Rafah food distribution suspended
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said Tuesday that it suspended food distribution in Rafah as supplies collapse and the security situation remains precarious.

UNRWA announced the suspension on X, formerly Twitter, without elaborating.

Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the UN's World Food Program (WFP) warned Tuesday that "humanitarian operations in Gaza are near collapse."

Etefeh added the WFP had also stopped distribution in Rafah after exhausting its stocks.

"Limited distributions" of reduced food parcels are ongoing in central Gaza but "food parcel stocks will run out within days," she said.

The UN has said no aid deliveries via a floating pier set up by the US have arrived over the past two days, the Associated Press reported. The UN said Tuesday it is planning new routes to distribute aid from the pier as the trucks have been intercepted by crowds of needy residents.

If food and other supplies don't resume entering Gaza in "in massive quantities, famine-like conditions will spread," said Etefeh.

The Israeli government said in a update Tuesday that

Ang: I thought I had an account under "Ang" (I think since 2015) but then when this forum switched to ProBoards I lost access. :( Been awhile. So finally made a new account. What happened? However, maybe it was another Christian forum that I lost the url to. Jun 24, 2023 10:20:10 GMT -5 *
