No one knows why the UN isnโt distributing the food and aid thatโs already inside Gaza. Israel must open additional routesโit bears responsibility here. But the UN must either do its job or immediately explain why it isnโt.
Hundreds of trucks worth of aid is sitting inside Gaza, as we reported days ago. Five separate routes were offered to the UN to distribute this aid, Iโm told. Palestinian civilians are in desperate need of this humanitarian support.
Has the international humanitarian aid community decided to halt its distribution operations in Gaza? What sense does this make?
An obscene amount of aid is waiting to get picked up on Gazan side of the border with Israel. 950 trucks to be precise. Why are international NGOs not picking it up when they warn - every single day - about starvation in Gaza? @WFP
While todayโs declarative decision of the Israeli Parliament @KnessetENG on extending Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is not a binding law, it definitely has a dangerous,volatile potential in various aspects. We explain why.
โI have reviewed their orders, watched their targeting process, and seen soldiers take real risks to avoid harming civilians. Nothing I have seen or studied resembles genocide or genocidal intent.โ Says @SpencerGuard and I concur.
