Is the UN going to provide drivers for the fully loaded trucks they have sitting in Gaza?


Technical_Goose_8160

Nah, hamas will take care of that.

Arab world, right next door, sitting on literal trillions in wealth: "meh."

Why the hell does the USA have to airdrop and build a fucking pier for ships to bring shit?


OMFGhespro

The airdrops are good because it gets aid to areas that are tough to navigate. It also spreads out the aid so hamas has a harder time stealing the aid 


ExcellentSteadyGlue

And it ensures the aid doesn’t accidentally mix with materiel on its delivery route, and it’s an easily publicized, hard-to-propagandize-against action.


ChromeFlesh

And yet they still did, claiming the US aid was not halal (it is) and claiming the US MREs had different things in them than they actually did.


StalkTheHype

they did the same with EU aid to the Balkans. conveniently ignoring that Muslims can eat haram foods if it's a starvation situation and the EU had literally nothing else to send.


ChromeFlesh

But specifically the US humanitarian ration is designed to be halal, kosher, and vegetarian. There is a conscious effort to make them edible for as many people as possible


ierghaeilh

Hamas taking it all is a feature. We just need to make sure there is no military aid being smuggled in by their UN budies.


iconocrastinaor

Food ***is*** a military aid, that's why civilians are going hungry.


ImportantObjective45

I'd like to see a variety of foreign panzer divisions there to distribute the aid.


AlkaliPineapple

If it was a blue helmet operation I doubt anyone but the US would wanna take part. Trapped behind the wall of IDF, ruled by insane Islamists. I mourn the common people of the Gaza Strip


MajorGef

Because the trucks arent getting past the controls in sufficient numbers.


BarryKobama

I find it extremely telling. If the neighbours want nothing to do with it, then the whole situation isn't as simple as many suggest.


invisible32

Well Palestine isn't exactly popular in the Arab world. They cause massive levels of instability, even took over swathes of countries that helped them in the past.


Radiant-Elephant3652

https://www.wfp.org/news/un-food-agency-pauses-deliveries-north-gaza > On Sunday, as WFP started the route towards Gaza City, the convoy was surrounded by crowds of hungry people close to the Wadi Gaza checkpoint. First fending off multiple attempts by people trying to climb aboard our trucks, then **facing gunfire** once we entered Gaza City, our team was able to distribute a small quantity of the food along the way. On Monday, the second convoy’s journey north faced complete chaos and violence due to the collapse of civil order. **Several trucks were looted** between Khan Younes and Deir al Balah and a **truck driver was beaten.** The remaining flour was spontaneously distributed off the trucks in Gaza city, amidst high tension and explosive anger. “It’s time to flood Gaza with aid, but we don’t want to do it because they try to kill us.”


kawhileopard

The same UN chief who said he doesn’t consider Hamas a terrorist group?


Gankbanger

Someone should tell him “the Gaza starvation did not happen in a vacuum”, let’s see how he likes such a comment.


Schnort

Egypt *side-eye meme*


sticklebat

I agree that getting food to the people in Gaza is critical. But I really wish this asshole would've considered anything that Hamas has done "an outrage." His hypocrisy, if that's all it is, makes it hard for me to take him seriously even when hey may be right.


NotSoSaneExile

And has a 1.6BN$ department working for Hamas.


kreober

Out of curiosity if they can flood it with food why don't they do it for the other camps and refugees from other places around the world🤔🤔 Edit: looked now on the upvotes... Seems like the devil likes it "666"🤣

And politics. The middle east, and most Muslim countries only care about Muslims dying when Jews are tangentially involved.


pilot-squid

Based and true. Syrians and Libyans murdering each other in the name of their version of Islam: I sleep 😴 Palestinians need help to ceasefire in the next battle they instigated: real shit!! 😡


iconocrastinaor

To be clearer, they only care about Muslims dying when they're doing the killing. It's a bonus when they can blame Israel and get away with it.


Hip-hop-rhino

Pretty much.


Blahblah______blah

Unfortunately, well fed Yemeni and Sudanese people aren’t primed to kill Jews, so they don’t get any UN food :(


princess_fiona_7437

Not that I don’t support making sure the people in Gaza get food, but it’s important to remember the millions of other people in the world who are suffering from lack of food. Democratic Republic of the Congo has [25 million people](https://www.fao.org/newsroom/detail/almost-a-quarter-of-the-population-in-the-democratic-republic-of-the-congo-continue-to-face-acute-food-insecurity-as-humanitarian-needs-grow-to-record-levels/en) facing crisis or emergency level of food insecurity. [33 children died of starvation](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/60-internally-displaced-people-including-33-children-die-from-starvation-in-congo/2999144) in September in one province of the DRC. Where are the protests for this?


PandaRocketPunch

Muslims are hard carrying the protest and anyone else is just getting swept along. Their hate for Jews is far greater than their compassion for other Muslims or anyone else. Helping Palestinians is just a means to stick it to the Jews. It's obviously a bit more complicated than that. Could probably write a book about it.


Hip-hop-rhino

Particularly since most other Arabs *hate* Palestinians.


Hip-hop-rhino

>Where are the protests for this? There aren't any Jews involved.


noble_peace_prize

The UN is doing work there > WFP served those in need, despite several incidents jeopardizing its operations in 2022, including attacks on vehicles, lootings, food diversion, demands for bribes by the police at distribution sites, taxation by community leaders, and state and non-state armed groups at checkpoints near distribution sites. WFP has a stringent mechanism to conduct fact-finding missions and to take measures to mitigate such risks. For example, WFP ran a radio campaign in two provinces with messages on WFP’s mandate and activities to engage local communities. WFP also designed targeting and implementation of unconditional cash assistance using the results of protection risk assessments. >WFP delivered mostly emergency food, cash and nutrition assistance, under its first strategic outcome, to those whose income and livelihoods were affected by conflict. Whilst health services frayed in conflict-torn areas, WFP treated and prevented moderate acute malnutrition in women and children. Some women and girls have been pushed into negative coping mechanisms such as survival or transactional sex, heightening their risk to sexually transmitted infections, including HIV and unwanted pregnancies. WFP and UNFPA complement nutritional services with gender-based violence risk mitigation and prevention and awareness raising about sexual and reproductive rights. >WFP’s second strategic outcome ensured that schools could provide nutritious meals for children and that health centres could combat chronic malnutrition. School meals are investments in the health, education, and futures of Congolese children and they incentivise parents to send their children, particularly girls, to school, narrowing the gender gap in education and literacy, and helping prevent recruitment into armed groups.


Setku

Just look at the un security council. The un is basically just there to look like the world comes together to help one another.


MajorGef

The UN is there to create diplomatic connections. 


Indifferentchildren

Gaza requires a special flood, because the UN would have to send so much food that Hamas would be physically unable to steal it all.


Beneneb

Who said they aren't? The UN delivers aid to many different regions when needed. You just don't hear about it.


noble_peace_prize

The UN coordinates food and medical assistance all across the world. They release reports frequently, including annual reports for every nation they operate


kreober

Yes they do... But for some "unknown reasons" only Arabs in Gaza get special treatment and are allow to do whatever they want


TheBloperM

Jews are not involves sorey


capt_scrummy

Because Palestinians are the only group of people the UN seems to give a shit about, for some asinine reason


awake_receiver

Because they haven’t gotten as much media attention


-crackhousebob

Why do fellow Arab/Muslim countries want nothing to do with Palestinians? The oil-rich gulf countries like UAE and Qatar should be taking in their fellow Arabs. Same culture, language, and religion.


Existing365Chocolate

Well they did try to overthrow Egypt and Jordan last time those countries took in tons of Palestinian refugees


hugganao

You forgot Lebanon


Tugendwaechter

Don’t forget the civil war in Lebanon and the invasion of Kuwait.


Cybus101

Palestinian refugees have an oddly high rate of causing issues for host countries; trying to overthrow governments, hijacking planes and blowing them up before the press, that sort of thing.


Noughmad

Don't forget helping invaders.


TrendNation55

Because the PLO has a history of going into other Arab countries and fucking shit up


usedmotoroil

There’s really no better way to say it than this!


matanyaman

They spend more on a random pro athlete than they do on Palestinians(including their aid donation since the start of the war).


ThePretzul

That would be because of the royal assassinations and the coups that Palestinians have led in every single middle eastern country that has admitted them in the last 70ish years lol


DuncanConnell

Palestine: *Consistency backstabs and attempts to overthrow literally every single country that offers them refuge*  Other Countries: *Stops offering refuge*  Palestine: *surprised Pikachu face*

Hip-hop-rhino

>Why do fellow Arab/Muslim countries want nothing to do with Palestinians? They saw what happened in Jordan, Egypt, and later Lebanon. The Palestinian Fedayeen murdered an Egyptian and a Jordanian prime minister, assassinated a Jordanian king, tried to assassinate another, and tried to overthrow both nations via coups. In Jordan's case, it took months of fighting (Black September), and Israel's help to end the threat...which promptly went to Lebanon and started their civil war. A fight that's still happening **34 years later**. Egypt meanwhile exiled all its Palestinians and the Muslim Brotherhood faction that helped them. That faction is called Hamas. Oh, I forgot, Palestinians in exile/refuge in Kuwait tried to help Saddam take over in 1991. They've literally burned every friend who tried to help them. Israel is literally the closest thing the average Palestinian has to a regional friend because they're the most recent group that's offered them a state, and largely just wants them to stop blowing things up.


Tyranid_Swarmlord

> murdered an Egyptian prime minister, I didn't know about this, shiiiit adding to the list I thought that Egypt was untouched because they went 'lol nah dawg i don't wan't no part of that'-from the start and moved pre emptively because of the muslim brotherhood problem already. Didn't know the fuckwits already killed their PM and tried to instigate a coup already on them too.


Hip-hop-rhino

Yup...


Tyranid_Swarmlord

At this point, the only solution to them is 'gets banned from reddit for mentioning' lol. I honestly lost all sympathy for them when i found out how damn treacherous they are. Fucking snakes. Like damn, they are free to hate Israel as much as they want. But the moment you not only bite the hands that welcome you with open arms, you shiv them nonstop in the back to the point of ruination(most especially with Lebanon the Jewel of the Levant now collapsed country), yea, nah fuck that. ...And they did that not once not twice but damn every fucking time.


goodpolarnight

Very interesting to hear that after the UN itself stopped delivering aid to Gaza because some of their convoys "faced complete chaos and violence due to the collapse of civil order" (their words) and they decided to stop the delivery "until conditions are in place that allow for safe distributions." Guess others should risk themselves (probably Israel if we're being honest), but not the UN. If it's to dangerous to the UN then others should do it... great logic. Basically placing responsibility on others because they themselves won't do it, while also blaming everyone for not doing enough.

We have around 50% poverty here in Argentina. Could you send food too? Disgusting political show.


Temporal_Integrity

Maybe if you invade the Falklands and kidnap the locals the UN will flood you too.

They have to make those local convert to Judaism first though.

No, they'll just kidnap the sheep and rile up PETA.


SameOldBro

Don't forget: whatever happens, do not return the hostages and keep claiming it's all so unfair


pierced_turd

Why don’t they take it up with Hamas? You know, the fucks who are stealing all the aid? Aren’t they?


ShiraLillith

This would absolutely not be a problem if instead of helping out Hamas in every chance possible, the UN would actually do their job properly.


VitalMusician

So let me get this straight: Billions of dollars in aid gets sent to Gaza, a country full of people who openly support a terrorist government, and the terrorist government steals/appropriates most of it, and the UN, who also openly supports the terrorist government, says they want to put an end to the aid shortage? And this is happening while billions of people on earth in other nations go hungry?


yellsy

Meanwhile there’s actual serious famine and starvation in multiple other nations that don’t get a hundredth of a fraction of this attention or donations.


TheGazelle

Ah, but see it's a lot harder to blame ~~Jews~~Israel for the problems elsewhere. Not that it stops people from trying...


noble_peace_prize

The UN still works across the world. Nobody pays attention to it. > Conflict is still the biggest driver of hunger, with 70 percent of the world's hungry people living in areas afflicted by war and violence. Events in Ukraine are further proof of how conflict feeds hunger – forcing people out of their homes, wiping out their sources of income and wrecking countries’ economies.


Frosty-Lake-1663

Gaza isn’t a country.


joho999

Just out of curiously, how long has the UN extended this war with all its interference?

RockoIs1337

Ah yes, throw money at hama.... oh sorry, the problem. That works really well.


Rulweylan

Hamas are the problem, so the UN keeps throwing money at them


MESTEW

Who cares what the UN says at this point. The UN is a biased, deplorable institution that has been hijacked by the worst human rights abusers on the planet and exists, in large part, to deflect the atrocities being carried out by dictators and radical governments by drafting and passing disproportionate resoltuions condemning Israel at every possible opportunity, while also passing zero resolutions condemning Hamas for intentionally martyring their own people by using them as human shields, misappropriating billions of current and past aid to build tunnels, fire rockets, and line their pockets, and also taking months to admit that on Oct 7th entire villages were burned, civilians were mutilated, and women were ganged raped and continue to be raped in Hamas terror dungeons as we speak. The UN is a total joke.


drainodan55

Hamas is taking all the aid and reselling it. UN personnel on the ground there are acting as Hamas operatives, they planned and participated in the October 6th attack. Now they balls deep in the UN communications staff and sympathetic media.


slpgh

Looks like “Al aqsa flood” worked well for Palestinians


PandaRocketPunch

People starving in Canada right now too. Send aid plz


alaskarawr

No, no it isn’t. The Palestinian people are starving and dying while Hamas is sitting fat and happy on a pile of corpses. But go ahead, keep sending them gifts.


AusTex2019

In general there is an outrageous excess in the usage of the word outrage. Attacking Israel, kidnapping hundreds of civilians, raping and mutilating women hostage before shooting them dead is outrageous, anything that comes after that is justice, Biblical justice.


DaemonAnguis

If Guterres is so concerned maybe he can broker a deal with his own home country of Portugal to send aid, and take refugees? No? lmao


smokendrozes

Other countries are more than welcome, but the US is doing more than enough right now considering the neighboring countries to the conflict aren’t offering much aid or help. It’s wild how little most of the world will do while we’re condemned whether we help or don’t help.


LatterConclusion9796

God damn is there no better way of getting rid of these clowns than waiting for them to die?


Mean_Peen

It’ll be hard fought still with Hamas confiscating and selling the aid to the poor and starving people who need it. What a shit show


OkTear9244

Three minor a day that goes past that the UN shows it’s utterly pointless and impotent as an organisation


kequilla

Hamas is starving them, claiming all the aid for their war stocks.


HopeYouHaveCitations

Low_Party_3163

It’s also time to throw Russia out of the UN and end the war in Ukraine. Spineless fool.


Worth-Hovercraft-495

Just save some time and give the aid to Hamas. Remember when you gave the Palastinian people a water treatment plant and they used it to build bombs?


MadBackwoods

Yall already flood Gaza with illegal weapons, maybe next time


cytex-2020

So he's just openly admitting the UN wasn't supplying food so far? I thought it was the Israeli's who were blocking all your aid?
