“If you don’t stop committing a humanitarian crisis, we’re going to stop sending humanitarian aid!”
…
What?
This is the situation Israel has been aiming for
These attacks have led UNRWA to declare that Gaza is currently the most dangerous place on Earth for aid workers, making it extremely difficult for groups to carry out the work necessary to stem the famine and various epidemics raging across Gaza — that is, when Israel even allows the materials needed for such efforts to cross the border.
Israel has acknowledged some military strikes on humanitarian workers, including an April attack that killed seven workers with the World Central Kitchen and has denied allegations of others.
So Israel doesn’t want any aid to Gaza…
Have killed aid workers multiple times…
And now aid workers are being pulled because Israel keeps killing them.
Sounds like the UN is negotiating with a terrorist state.
Or, you don’t know what you’re talking about…and Israel actually does care about getting aid into the country, and that’s why the UN framed this as a warning.
Edit: Shout out to absolute know-nothing reactionaries downvoting this post.
Or, or or!
The UN framed this as a warning because they really don’t want to stop sending aid into Gaza and the alternative is not to announce any changes at all.
But Israel does want the aid coming in…
They block most of it and murder the people distributing it on a regular basis
Ridiculous. All the food that comes in is because they let it in.
The second sentence is true. They’re inducing famine conditions but allowing an extremely small amount of food in.
Hamas induced food insecurity in Gaza. Period.
Of humanitarian groups, UNRWA has borne the brunt of Israel’s horrific extermination campaign. According to agency Chief Philippe Lazzarini, Israeli forces have killed 193 UNRWA workers in Gaza since October and massacred 250 aid workers in total so far. Israeli forces have continually targeted UNRWA facilities, often in refugee camps, damaging or destroying 190 UNRWA facilities in Gaza, or about half of the agency’s facilities in the region.
UNRWA is basically a coconspirator to Hamas. It’s the largest employer in Gaza. Hamas is the largest political bloc. It’s simple math.
Look at UNRWA’s own literature, promoting martyrdom as a way of life (and death) to kids.
You’re content to condemn how many more generations to such hopelessness and corruption?
There is no hope for a better future for Palestinian children when living under the violence of Apartheid
In January, Israel accused a handful of UNRWA staff of collaborating with Hamas militants as part of its years-long campaign against the agency. But Israel has refused to provide evidence for these claims, and subsequent investigations by an independent UN panel, foreign experts in multiple countries (including the EU’s humanitarian chief), and journalists across many outlets have found that there is no evidence supporting the accusations.
