Every single word here is a LIE! A senior UN official told me Israel routinely rejects their permit requests to come & collect the aid Even granted permission, Israel forces trucks to drive through active combat zones on destroyed roads full of unexploded ordinance where they…
The failure of the UN aid mechanism in Gaza is truly catastrophic. 600 trucks’ worth of food the IDF is urging the UN to pick up. I saw mountains of pasta, lentils, hummus, cooking oil, sugar, and flour. Just waiting for UN collection. Unforgivable negligence.

"Kent has not issued an apology or a retraction. The Secretary of State has not come out and said that this is a manifest misapplication of the law", Blinne declares. There is therefore no reason to believe the incident in Kent will not be replicated across the country.
Chamberlain counters that: “This is obviously an officer that doesn’t understand the law at all”. Blinne says that's "cold comfort" for the woman who was told she can't protest again in Kent. Crucially, Blinne says nobody has come out and said the officers did anything wrong.
Blinne now moves onto the impact of proscription of civil society and the right to protest. She references specifically the incident in Kent, where armed police officers questioned a woman who was waving a Palestine flag and holding a placard condemning the genocide in Gaza.
