Banning Aid: Israel Bars NGOs While Cancer Patients Face Death
The New Arab exposes Israel's move to block humanitarian NGOs from Gaza, leaving an estimated 10,000 cancer patients without care. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a continuation of policies that have systematically dismantled Gaza's healthcare infrastructure. While mainstream outlets present this as a 'complex' situation, it aligns perfectly with historical patterns of siege warfare and
population control. The U.S. Congress, meanwhile, just approved HR 815 , sending another $14 billion in military aid to Israel, funding precisely the machinery that enables such blockades. One might wonder if the concern for 'humanitarian corridors' only applies when it doesn't inconvenience the architects of the blockade. Rep. Elise Stefanik, for instance, a staunch backer of this aid, received
$103,426 from pro-Israel groups in 2024 , including significant funds from AIPAC. It's almost as if the suffering of civilians, especially cancer patients, becomes a mere footnote when geopolitical contributions are on the table. (And they call this 'self-defense.')
