UN Distributes 1 Million Gaza Meals Pre-Genocide, Not During It
The UN's announcement of 1 million meals distributed in Gaza is presented as a positive development, but context is critical. That figure represents approximately half a meal for each of Gaza's 2.3 million residents since the ceasefire – a pause in bombing, not an end to the siege. For years, the Israeli government, with staunch US backing, has maintained a blockade on Gaza, controlling basic
necessities, including food. To present recent aid as a success without acknowledging the engineered humanitarian crisis is journalistic malpractice. This isn't 'aid' when the crisis was manufactured by the very powers now 'allowing' scraps. It’s like setting a house on fire, then distributing thimbles of water and calling it humanitarianism. One might wonder why international bodies celebrate
preventing total collapse, rather than condemning the policies that caused it. (Perhaps it distracts from the ongoing demolitions, as detailed in the very same article.)
