UN food program chief says they lost contact with aid teams in Gaza
The Hill ^ | 10/28 | LAUREN IRWIN

Posted on 10/28/2023 12:06:23 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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?

Hostages, so that the UN can then force Israel to stop their targeting of Hamas.

IF Israel is allowed to do what needs to be done, humanity will prevail.

Islam has proven time and time again it is incompatible with civilized people.

IDF should use the Finnish Motti technique.

Cut Gaza in half from land and sea then clear it with bulldozers.

Freeing hostages has a higher priority than Palestinian dinnertime IMO.

The UN needs to gets its priorities straight.

God through it was necessary to destroy Sodom.

God may be thinking about Gaza now.

Hamas had better free the hostages before Israel receives a request from above.

Why the “H” aren’t these Hill idiots demanding Hamas release the prisoners, open their supplies to Gazans and surrender?

“Humanity must prevail,”
Which humanity do they want to prevail - the one that invaded a nation and slaughtered innocent people or the one that is sending aid? Both are being done by humans, thus representing humanity.

Humanity must prevail. That sounds like the punch line to a sci-fi movie.

"UN food program chief says they lost contact with aid teams in Gaza"

.... The UN Aid Teams probably weren't prepared. Israelis cut internet access to Gaza for the Military Actions this weekend. Probable that the Com towers were taken out as well.

Slice it up, final demand for hostage release followed by hiding place clearance after hostage search if indicated.

Breakup the Palestinian command chain to increase pressure and reduced the chance of near universal hostage slaying.
