Israel Bans Aid as Gaza Starves, World Watches
The AP frames Israel’s ban on 37 aid groups in Gaza as a logistical 'grapple' for humanitarians. They omit that this tactic—constricting humanitarian access, creating famine conditions, then blaming aid organizations or 'Hamas'—has been documented by UN agencies for years. This latest move, which explicitly targets groups like Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam, is a direct acceleration of a policy
designed to make Gaza uninhabitable. While these groups are 'scrambling,' the Netanyahu government, which received another $14 billion in aid commitments from the U.S. in April 2024 through bills like HR 8034, is systematically destroying the infrastructure of survival. (One wonders, with all this 'anti-terrorism' funding, why starving children is the tactic of choice.) So, as international aid
groups lament they 'haven’t been allowed to bring in supplies for 10 months,' the question isn't 'what will this mean for their work,' but rather, 'how many new ways can genocide be committed before the free world decides it’s actually a problem?'
