DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel announced Sunday it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade, days after global experts on food security warned of famine. … It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment. Israel has been trying to impose a new aid system, despite objections by aid workers. Netanyahu said Israel would work to ensure that aid does not reach militants.

    Oh look, fresh news:

    US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said “distribution centres” protected by security contractors would provide food and other supplies to over a million people initially, as part of an effort to prevent Hamas stealing aid.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp92rlm300mo

    The Gaza war was triggered by the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which saw about 1,200 people killed and more than 250 taken hostage. Some 59 are still held captive, up to 24 of whom are believed to be alive.

    So much for “US officials said they do not have evidence to support Israel’s claims” huh odd

          How about something from a country that isn’t supplying weapons to Israel to kill innocent civilians, or an outlet that isn’t suppressing news about pro-Palestinian protests.

          Let’s just end this here. You aren’t interested in anything that doesn’t fit the narrow worldview you’ve been indoctrinated into. There’s no point in me arguing with someone who has no free will of their own, because they’ve given it up to their government.

          I pity you, you poor, miserable little thing.
