In reply to the discussion: UN: Around 88% of aid trucks collected in Gaza since mid-May did not reach destinations due to looting or theft [View all]Eko
(9,988 posts)18. Jeeze man, everything you say just ends up with everyone being responsible except for Israel.
Is Israel currently letting armed UN forces into Gaza? No. To be completely fair neither is hamas. Your attempt to blame the UN for something falls completely flat.
One other small thing to consider is the rest of the quote, "adding problem didnt exist during January truce, when aid was sufficient"
Imagine that, when people aren't starving they act a bit more reasonable. When starving, they don't. But you got to bash the UN for what Israel has done .

Armed by Netanyahu, gangs of Gaza hold sway in the rubble. The Israeli prime minister admited arming Gazan clans.

Netanyahu-funded gangs were stealing a shedload of the aid. He bloody well knows that.

It is all part of the Netanyahu and his ultra RW religio-fash suppoters' (ie Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, etc) long term game.

Its very sad to see people twist themselves into pretzels to deny the starvation going on in Gaza and only able to blame

Why would you expect anything different than prices going up after a disaster?

People are selling donated humanitarian aid. They are making their neighbors pay
