The United Nations said Tuesday it suspended food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah due to lack of supplies and insecurity. It also said no aid trucks entered in the past two days via a floating pier set up by the U.S. for sea deliveries.
The U.N. has not specified how many people have stayed in Rafah since the Israeli military began its intensified assault there two weeks ago, but apparently several hundred thousand people remain. The World Food Program said it was also running out of food for central Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fleeing Rafah have sought shelter in a chaotic exodus, setting up new tent camps or crowding into areas already devastated by previous Israeli offensives.
Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the U.N’s World Food Program, warned that “humanitarian operations in Gaza are near collapse.” If food and other supplies don’t resume entering Gaza “in massive quantities, famine-like conditions will spread,” she said. …

Well, that’s a good reason.................
Gaza, the world’s biggest FAFO. By a country mile.
That’s a shame.

>>. Gaza, the world’s biggest FAFO
🤣 ^^^^^^^ THAT ^^^^^^^ 😂
Never mind the UN itself, along with their WFP and UNRWA/Hamas-enablers, the world’s biggest thieves/pirates.
Exactly. Plus their Human Rights group run by the biggest violators of human rights in the world and their blue helmets raping and pillaging.
Not one Muslim state is helping....or will take these scummy Palestinians

And Biden wants them here.
if hamas was willing, they could share all the food and medical supplies they’ve been stealing for years and hoarding in their tunnels.
No doubt that would be enough for any *civilians*.
It’s the UN, SCUMBAGS of all sorts. It probably is just a ruse for JoeK Bimentia to put more heat on BiBi to capitulate because “Think of the Children”

UN halts all food distribution in Rafah after running out of supplies in the southern Gaza city
...As of May 17, the Rafah crossing remains inaccessible for humanitarian cargo, fuel and personnel movement,” she told the UNSC. “Around 82,000 metric tons of supplies are stranded on the Egypt side of the crossing with food spoiling and medicines expiring. Fuel shortages, meanwhile, impact the functioning of bakeries, hospitals, water wells, and other critical infrastructure.”...
UNRWA skimmed a bit too much. Oops.
There are reports that almost 1 million people, out of 1.2 million, have already left Rafah over the last two weeks - heeding Israeli military warnings (leaflets, texts, phone calls) that they were going into the city.
Rafah crossing is controlled by the IDF now, though they said they would continue bringing in supplies I wonder if someone on the other side is holding it up - or if it has been scaled down because of the floating pier.
The floating pier is fully operational. Seems some people in the Biden Administration are either incompetent (very likely) or are deliberately not working fast enough to bring aid in, perhaps because of Biden’s admonitions against Israel from going into Rafah. If so, it is foolish. You have the perfect set-up to bring in food, medicine and shelter for the evacuees and you fail to deliver... why? Because you want to punish Israel for going into Rafah? Makes no sense but little this administration does.
I always presume sabotage instead of incompetence when it comes to the Biden regime.
You could be right. Half of them are incompetent and the other half are cruel. Sometimes you can tell which is which, sometimes not. Maybe some of them are both.
