| 2025-03-01 |
| [IsraelTimes] US aid cuts have forced the UN children’s agency UNICEF to suspend or scale back many programs in Lebanon, with more than half of children under the age of two experiencing severe food poverty in the country’s east, an official says. “We have been forced to suspend or cut back or drastically reduce many of our programs and that includes nutrition programs,” UNICEF’s deputy representative in Lebanon, Ettie Higgins, tells reporters in Geneva via video link from Beirut. |

| #6 I would call for Soros to step in to make up for the lack of Deep State funding but that’s like discovering that the Circle K pump is empty and rolling up 10 feet to try the next pumping station. USAID appears to be the tank for every sketchy NGO out there. |

| #5 IIRC on some footage from 10/7 one can see that the attackers were carrying UNICEF brand first aid kits. |
