Aid agencies are sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump’s mission to upend the U.S. Agency for International Development, which they say is already hampering efforts to provide assistance to Palestinians reeling from 15 months of war in Gaza.
Medical supplies, food deliveries and other vital humanitarian supplies were already being held up in other parts of the world by the administration’s 90-day freeze on all foreign aid, and humanitarian organizations are warning that the situation in Gaza could become even more dire if there is a similar delay there.
USAID has been a major funder of support for Palestinians in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank. In a November news release, the agency said it had invested over $600 million in economic support funding for Palestinians since 2021.
USAID also announced in November that it planned to dedicate $230 million in additional funding to support economic recovery and development programs in Gaza and the West Bank.

NBC gaslighting again.

Yeah, how can Hamas keep committing terrorism without the USAID’s funding?
These are the “agencies” who have been starving to death over the past few days with out millions of taxpayer dollars, right? You know, the thieves and crooks.
Make a list of who is whining.
Exactly....
Let the rich Arab Counties pick up the Tab.
Unstolen elections have consequences for thieves who steal U.S. taxpayers for a living. Transparency is one of the trans MAGAS like. And those huge spotlights sure beat Bull****prompters.
It’s all on hands on deck to save the deep state money laundering/ propaganda op. This “humanitarian” gaslight crap reminds me of Hamas putting their bomb making operations in hospital basements. “Hey look at all the good this hospital does”
