Elon Musk ''halts $400 million in Gaza-bound U.S. aid''
2025-02-10
[NEWARAB] The United States has suspended the transfer of $400 million designated for humanitarian and food aid in the 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...
Strip, according to a senior U.S. official who spoke exclusively to our Arabic edition al-Araby al-Jadeed on condition of anonymity.

The aid was scheduled to be sent Monday through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the shutdown the agency's accounts and the blocking of agency employees from accessing their accounts worldwide led to the suspension of the transfer.

According to a memo reviewed by al-Araby al-Jadeed, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
approved the continuation of certain foreign development aid on January 29, following a swift review. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the decision did not explicitly state that the aid was designated for Gaza. Instead, it specified that the funds were intended for "life-saving humanitarian assistance, including access to essential medicines, medical services, food, shelter, and livelihood support, as well as reasonable administrative costs and supplies." The source clarified that the exemption signed by the Secretary of State was specifically intended to facilitate the delivery of food and medical aid to both Gaza and Darfur.

The approval was issued on January 29, and USAID employees immediately began processing the transfer of funds to Gaza
I bet they did....
The money was set to be sent on Monday, February 3, following the completion of necessary approvals and administrative procedures. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the closure of USAID employees' email accounts by the Department of Government Efficiency halted the transfer, preventing funds from reaching medical institutions and humanitarian organizations responsible for providing food and medicine to Gaza's residents.

#7  Ref #6: While USAID sends USD overseas to people who very likely have no use for us, NC people still have no shelter.

#4  If they want food aid, they should work on growing more food. If they want humanitarian aid, they should work on being actual humans instead of shit throwing rage monkeys.

#2  For 3 generations "international community" was providing for "Palestinians" so they don't have to worry about making a living and could concentrate on fighting the Jews.
