Entire Gaza population facing hunger crisis, famine risk
2023-12-22
[GEO.TV] The entire 2.3 million population of 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...
is facing crisis levels of hunger and the risk of famine is increasing each day, a UN-backed body said in a report published on Thursday.

The proportion of households in Gaza affected by high levels of acute food insecurity is the largest ever recorded globally, according to a report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

"There is a risk of famine and it is increasing each day that the current situation of intense hostilities and restricted humanitarian access persists or worsens," the IPC for Gaza said.

Distribution of aid within Gaza has been hampered by military operations, inspections of aid demanded by Israel, communications blackouts and shortages of fuel.

Herzog: Three times as much aid could be entering Gaza if not for UN’s ‘utter failure’

[IsraelTimes] President Isaac Herzog doubles down on the Israeli position that the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
is failing to keep up with the amount of aid Israel is inspecting and is the reason why so little has entered the Strip even after Israel opened up its Kerem Shalom Crossing to ease the bottleneck.

"Unfortunately, due to the utter failure of the UN in its work with other partners in the region, they have been unable to bring in more than 125 trucks [of aid] a day," Herzog says in a meeting with visiting French Senate President Gérard Larcher.

"Today it is possible to provide three times the amount of humanitarian aid to Gazoo if the UN — instead of complaining all day — would do its job," Herzog says.

Israel has said that it has been inspecting hundreds of trucks per day at its Kerem Shalom and Nitzana Crossings and then many of the trucks subsequently remain outside Gaza.

The UN and Egypt have argued that Israel’s military campaign has made it too dangerous to regularly deliver aid inside and through Gaza.

Looking to blame someone?

HAMAS and its supporters are the cause of this.

As the IDF is seeking out the HAMAS.
Which are deliberately hiding in, and attacking from within, civilian population & refugee centers to avoid meeting with GOD and answering for their WAR CRIMES.
