Famine likely unfolding in north Gaza, says Global monitor; Or not: when challenged on the facts, they remove from webpage
|
[GEO.TV] The Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET) is warning that a famine is likely unfolding in besieged northern Gaza, including in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon, as Israel continues its near-total blockade of humanitarian and commercial food supplies to the region, reported Al Jazeera.
... and then, in the blink of an eye...
A report by the US-funded group FEWS NET that warned a famine is likely under way in north Gaza, is no longer accessible on the group's website, reported Al Jazeera.
The development comes after the US envoy to Israel criticised the group's assessment as ''irresponsible''.
US-backed monitor removes report alleging north Gaza famine after objections
[IsraelTimes] The Famine Early Warning System Network has taken down a report it published yesterday alleging that famine continues to persist in northern 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 a rusty 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 ...
, after US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew raised objections over the US-funded agency’s methodology.
"The FEWS NET alert, unfortunately, issued an analysis without the benefit of further examination by the Famine Review Committee, relies on outdated population estimates, and has methodological limitations based on the availability of data," a spokesperson for the US Agency for International Development tells The Times of Israel.
The spokesperson clarifies that USAID remains deeply concerned about the scale of food insecurity throughout Gaza. It says more than two million people are at risk of famine, particularly in northern Gaza where limited aid has been allowed in amid ongoing Israeli military operations targeting Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
.
However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
the USAID spokesperson notes that a recent US assessment mission has provided updated population estimates. The US also hopes recent aid deliveries bringing food to Beit Hanoun will soon be replicated throughout northern Gaza.
Those developments should lead to a more accurate FEWS NET assessment, the spokesperson indicates.
FEWS NET is an independent food insecurity monitor, but is financially backed by USAID, which reviewed the report before it went out yesterday and urged that corrections be made to account for the outdated figures, the spokesperson explains.
FEWS NET decided to go ahead and publish as is, leading USAID to again reach out and request that corrections be made. Following that intervention, the agency agreed to take down the report until further notice, the spokesperson says.
The main issue highlighted by Lew in his Tuesday criticism of the FEWS NET report was that it relied on allegedly outdated figures from ñu the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
