US Central Command: 46,000 meals airdropped into northern Gaza today
[IsraelTimes] The US airdropped 46,000 meals into 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 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...
 earlier today, US Central Command announces.

"The Defense Department humanitarian airdrops contribute to ongoing US and partner-nation government efforts to alleviate human suffering. These airdrops are part of a sustained effort, and we continue to plan follow-on aerial deliveries," CENTCOM says.

Some 250,000 to 300,000 Paleostinians are believed to be living in this part of the Strip despite an IDF directive for civilians to evacuate at the beginning of the war.

The area is largely cut off to prevent a Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
 resurgence in zones already cleared by the army.

With the center of the humanitarian operation located in the southern Gaza border city of Rafah, where most of the Strip’s two million civilians are sheltering, those in the north have had extremely limited access to aid for months.

 File under: Hamas 

#1 Oct 7 massacre survivors detained, berated by UK border police
The officers allegedly said that they had to detain and interrogate the survivors for two hours because "they had to make sure that you are not going to do what you are doing in Gaza over there."

So, British policy haven't changed all that much since the Mandate days - when they imported million+ Arabs into Palestine.

All while according to several charitable groups.
More than 44 million people in the US face hunger. Which now includes 1 in 5 children.

BTW: America's homeless and hunger numbers have increased every year under the O'Biden Regime.

They game the system. Their polling is no different than political polling with rigged questions. They ask people have you ever been hungry? Everyone has been hungry sometimes. As recently as last year when I had to prepare for a colonoscopy. There are plenty of federal, state, and local programs, funding, and services that no one has to go hungry. Some still do because the systems of access or delivery are opaque to them.

As for the airdrops, much of it will end up on the local 'market' where the usual miscreants will profit off the people its intended for.
