For weeks, we've been hearing news reports and public statements about starving babies in Gaza.
60 Minutes did a long, breathy, segment this past weekend, interviewing clean and showered Gazans supposedly on the edge of death, speaking in perfect English, with no questions asked about whether they danced on Oct. 7.
The pope made a lot of furious appeals for Gaza, too, always speaking of the children and throwing a few darts at Israel, which is trying to defend itself from monstrous terrorists, and not the terrorists who have embedded themselves behind the civilians in these misery zones.
The UNRWA, which is the U.N. agency responsible for distributing aid, has been making dire forecasts while fending off scandal stories about their own staffers actually being the terrorists.
It's hard to pay much heed to just on those merits, but here's something that looks worse:
This is all the aid Israel has let into Gaza that’s STILL waiting for UN to collection.
It’s 800 trucks’ worth. The unloading site is bursting.
The only limit on the amount of aid entering Gaza is the logistical capacity of UN agencies to distribute it.

So the Israelis have been delivering aid all along and the UNRWA has been allowing it to sit around in piles like these seen in these Israeli government pictures.
Sure, there are undoubtedly transport problems, given Hamas's willingness to hijack aid trucks for its own use, as well as let other gangs do the same as the region's rulers.
But there's no pressure from UNRWA to let the aid trucks, through, let alone just try to deliver it.

Well, That they aren’t delivering it suggests yet another wretched Hamas effort to discredit Israel, particularly with all the negative stories about starving babies going around.
Eff the Gaslight Media.
Same thing FEMA does.
Puerto Rico does it best.
True.
Keyboard, restrain they self.
Before the Oct 7 invasion, Israel was delivering TONS of aid EVERY DAY into the Gaza Strip.
Make of it what you will.
Can’t the Gaza people just call Dominos?
Like their Hamas allies, the UNRWA and UN are keeping food from Arab civilians in Gaza to weaponize their suffering against Israel.

I need the picture of the pope-a-dope with
the graven image lying in a PLO keffiyeh
Exactly.
💯.
Or Pizza Hut?!
Exactly. And get blankets or whatever from Amazon.
Or maybe they should consider surrender and disarmament.
Uh yeah, everyone with 2 or more functioning brain cells knows the aid been delivered and almost all if not all from Israel. Irrational israel haters and clickbait artists may hold other opinions but anyone who’s been watching it closely knows Israel is doing its best to get aid into Gaza. Not always perfect, it is a war zone and they have many priorities, but they’ve been pretty good and bringing it in. Egypt won’t deliver it directly through Rafah, so they truck it to southern Israel to reroute it from Israeli points of entry. Jordanian Air Force does some air drops of air too, not sure how significant that is. Probably more of a PR stunt but still they need Israeli cooperation to fly in that airspace. Biden tried to build an idiotic steel floating jetty that almost got several Americans killed because, well, it’s stupid to expect floating steel planks to remain still on the surface of the sea. Overland is the best way to get aid in. But…
..I don’t think this is a logistical problem per se. It is relatively easy to deliver 800 trucks in a few days. 200 a day should also be easy. The problem is that nobody wants the job. The trucks get hijacked by Hamas or criminal gangs. Some drivers get murdered. Someone has to provide security to the truck drivers. It would be better if the UN just paid greenmail protection money to the criminal gangs directly in return for security of the aid shipments. The other choices are even less favorable e.g make 4 or 5 secure points of distribution and Israeli tanks and infantry can escort it. But that means all the people have to move closer to the distribution points. Who knows maybe the Gazans can sort it out themselves. Ultimately they have to. They can’t rely on Hamas or gangs or the PLO, or international aid for eternity. Maybe it’s time they step up.
40 years ago, I used to think very highly of the UN.
All the nearby schools told us the UN was there to ensure peace was encouraged and poor people received care.
So much for that myth. Of course, the same thing was said back then about the Red Cross and March of Dimes. Not so much these days.
