The United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP) on Saturday said they lost contact with their aid teams in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.
“The silence is deafening,” WFP Chief Cindy McCain posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “As conflict rages on, I am extremely worried for the safety of all humanitarian workers and civilians.”
“We are at a tipping point. Humanity must prevail,” she added.
Israel launched an expanded ground incursion on Saturday after knocking out communications and essentially creating an information blackout in Gaza overnight. Gaza residents described the massive attack from both the sea and the air as the most intense of the 3 week war, The Associated Press reported.

“Why do I hear the phrase “tipping point” everywhere?”
It’s the latest climate hysteria phrase. As such, those people who pay attention to whatever the climate-crazies are saying have picked it up. See the definition of “embolalia.” If the latest climate hysteria used the word “whoowhoo” you’d see that appear all over the place as well.
Merriam Webster defines it as “the interpolation of meaningless sounds or words into speech,” and Kenkyusha’s English Japanese Dictionary defines it as the words (embolalia / embololalia) with definition as a medical term to describe ‘disease or symptom to interpolate unnecessary words in speech.’
It’s not a long walk to Israeli forces.
Oh boo hoo boo hoo.
The whole Arab world has used the “Palestinians” as their geopolitical pawns, never really aiding them, the people, and always seeking for others to provide what aid they could have given, if they really cared.
More hostages.
RE: UN is corrupt and stupid.
Agree.
I want my money back.
“The U.S. government contributed about $12.5 billion to the United Nations in 2021, the most recent fiscal year with full data available. About one-quarter of this total was assessed and the rest was voluntary.”
From UN website:
Countries in arrears in the payment of their financial contributions under the terms of Article 19 of the UN Charter
Under Article 19 of the Charter of the United Nations, a Member State in arrears in the payment of its dues in an amount that equals or exceeds the contributions due for two preceding years can lose its vote in the General Assembly.
As of 31 August 2023, four (4) Member States are subject to the provisions of Article 19 of the Charter [see document A/78/336]:
Comoros
Sao Tome and Principe
Somalia
Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of)
I don’t know but they need to quit using this racist term. /s

Well, Israel cut off communications, so of course they’ve lost contact. The other possibility is that Hamas has killed them or taken them hostage. I seriously doubt that would impact UN support for hamas, though. They’ve got it in the bag.
UN delivers to Hamass, Cindy.
Big surprise there. Mogadishu, Part 2.
The military does a great job of teaching that lesson.
Define stupid..
Okay...
Sending unarmed people into an active combat zone..
And, even more stupid than the people in charge, that actually authorized this, are those that volunteered to go..
The UN ‘aid teams’ in Gaza are either in the trenches, side by side with Hamass, manning the guns against the IDF, or else they are now hostages held in the ‘Gaza metro’. JMO
Why don’t they disarm HAMAS?
It is Impossible that the UN aide workers were unprepared. After all, Cindy McCain is in charge of The pro- Hamas UN aide workers.
It’s the new buzzword. The Deep State and MSM get together on a conference call every week and discuss what is working and what isn’t. Old words, phrases and mantras eventually lose their effectiveness and new ones need to be used to keep the sheep terrified.
The best example is “global warming”. It lost it’s effectiveness so it was changed to “climate change”. All of their predictions from sea level rise, melting ice caps and dead polar bears didn’t materialize so they had to change the mantra.
So now they are interjecting “tipping point” to the mix.
Lather, rinse, repeat. It is always the same story but with new and improved words.
Hamas would slaughter the UN aid teams in a heart-beat and blame the Israeli.
I hope the aid teams didn’t get their heads cut off
