US-Backed 'Humanitarian' Fund Closes Operations After Five Months of Massacres
Al Jazeera reports the U.S.-Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is closing down after just five months. This organization was presented by the Biden administration as a crucial component of aid efforts, often alongside discussions of a 'maritime corridor' that delivered a fraction of what was needed. While the foundation was operating, U.S. and Israeli forces continued to devastate Gaza,
with reported civilian casualties soaring past 35,000, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, and famine declared by UN agencies in northern Gaza. So, a foundation for 'humanitarian aid' functioned while its beneficiaries faced catastrophic conditions. Curious timing, that. The legacy? Perhaps it's a testament to the fact that 'humanitarian' labels don't magically end mass starvation and
bombardments. Or, as one might cynically observe, it served its primary purpose: appearing to address a crisis while actively enabling the conditions that created it. (Remember when the U.S. air-dropped meals while simultaneously vetoing UN cease-fire resolutions? Good times.)
