UN Aid to Gaza Still a 'Fraction' of Promises: Normal
The UN states fewer than 100 aid trucks daily have entered Gaza since the 'ceasefire' (October 10), delivering a mere 94 trucks per day on average when 600 were promised under a US-negotiated plan. This isn't a glitch; it's a feature. This 'fraction' is eerily consistent with past promises, like when the US pledged billions in aid post-2014 Gaza war, only for reconstruction to be perpetually
stifled by the blockade, leaving hundreds of thousands still displaced a decade later. We’re expected to believe that the world's most sophisticated militaries simply 'can't' get food to starving people they're actively bombing. Meanwhile, Senator Tom Cotton, who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022, publicly slammed calls for a ceasefire and additional aid as 'weakness.' One might wonder if the
'failure' to deliver aid is less about logistical challenges and more about policy choice. How many times will we watch the world play 'find the missing trucks' while the death toll rises?
