UN Demands Aid Be Allowed Into Gaza – Again
The UN's latest 'urgent demand' for more aid to Gaza, as hunger becomes widespread, plays like a broken record. This isn't a new humanitarian crisis; it’s a policy. Since 2007, Israel has maintained a siege on Gaza, controlling most goods and aid entering the strip, impacting food security, medicine, and critical infrastructure (per UN OCHA reports). The current famine isn't an accident; it's an
acceleration of a long-standing blockade. While the UN issues polite requests, US politicians continue to greenlight military aid to Israel. For instance, Senator Tim Scott, who recently received $10,000 from AIPAC (according to OpenSecrets.org), voted for the $14.1 billion aid package to Israel. How many 'urgent demands' from the UN does it take before the 'rules-based order' applies equally to
everyone? It seems some starvation is more 'strategic' than others.
