UN says aid to reach Gaza in 'next day or so' as martyrdom toll touches 4,137
2023-10-21
[GEO.TV] The United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
has announced that the first aid delivery into Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt is expected to occur "in the next day or so."

Martin Griffiths, the UN humanitarian chief, stated that they are engaged in advanced negotiations with relevant parties to facilitate the aid operation. The UN's aim is to ensure a swift and secure start to this humanitarian effort.

While the exact timing remains uncertain, there is hope for a prompt and sustained delivery of aid. The humanitarian community emphasises the urgent need for a mechanism to transport aid into southern Gaza, all while continuing to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

Desperately needed international aid is accumulating in Egypt near Gaza, where Paleostinians are facing critical shortages of food and water due to ongoing Israeli bombings. The situation in Gaza has tanked rapidly, with over one million of its 2.4 million residents displaced.


Originally, Egyptian state-linked broadcaster Al Qahera News had announced the opening of the Rafah crossing on Friday, which serves as the sole route into Gaza. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
Cairo later cited the need for road repairs and postponed the opening.

The recent escalation in violence stems from a major attack launched by Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
from the Gaza Strip on October 7. The attack resulted in substantial casualties, with Israeli officials reporting at least 1,400 deaths, primarily among civilians.

In response, Israel has conducted extensive aerial bombings, causing significant destruction. An impending ground invasion is anticipated, heightening concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

As of now, the situation remains critical, with at least 4,137 Paleostinians, mainly civilians, reported dead due to the ongoing conflict, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Afghanistan is a highly tectonic area, Penguin — they have lots of earthquakes, very few of which get reported.

#7  WH says Biden does not mean Israel must delay ground invasion

U.S. President Joe Biden did not hear a question from a reporter who asked whether Israel should delay a potential ground invasion of Gaza until more hostages can get out, when he answered, "yes", the White House said.

#5  In Cairo, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said a solution to the Palestinian problem cannot come at the expense of his country.

Sounds like "make me an offer" to me.

#4  The ones who really got screwed are the victims of the Afghan earthquake that happened the same day. It hardly made the news.

BTW, the question I have on the IAF bombing videos is, aren't the Gazans using rebar? Are these buildings even to earthquake code? With that recent earthquake results in Turkiye they better be or an Act of God will really be an Act of God.

#1  Where's the aid or humanitarian efforts for the Israeli victims of Hamas slaughter?

All I read is "boo hoo hoo, wah wah wah, poor Hamas/gazoo people and not a peep about the Iraeli victims.

F**k UN and their misplaced priorities.
