    Not surprising when Gaza as a whole is on the edge of starvation.

      Answer this though. Who is to blame for the UN suspending aid in this case?

        Literally Isreal according to the World Food Program itself:

        “Israeli targeting of convoys, Israeli targeting of police who are there to protect aid convoys, and then of course due to the desperation, because of the lack of aid that’s getting in, there’s just been a deterioration of civil order in Gaza that’s led to the charging and looting of aid convoys as they’re trying to make their way.”

        Low explained that in Rafah, aid convoys were accompanied by Palestinian police officers to ensure order during distribution, but that this is no longer the case because the Israeli army targeted these aid convoys in order to kill the Palestinian police.

          Why do you cite examples in the South for an event in the North and think they apply? How many Gazans are in Rafah? how many are in Gaza city?

            Take it up with the WFP, that’s their stated reason for haulting aid, because Isreal is targeting their conveys. I don’t know what kind of looney toons world you live in where an aid organization getting targeted by an army in one area is going to feel safe delivering in other areas. Don’t strain yourself, making up justifications for a genocidal state is hard and the cognitive dissonance takes a toll, so just pace yourself.

        Who is to blame for the almost 30,000 Palestinian deaths - mostly women and children?

        Israel, the IDF and Netanhayu … that’s who.
