The Israeli regime declared its intent to deny food to Gaza, and then openly starved the people of Gaza for almost 2 years, destroying fields & food stores, destroying boats & blocking fishing, killing aid workers & blocking food aid. Its people have openly cheered it on. Its proxies in the West have openly justified it. Now that the IPC, the UN, the WFP, the WHO, and every major humanitarian organization have declared a man-made famine in Gaza, the Israeli regime & its proxies have fanned out across the media to deny there is a famine. May these soulless ghouls never know a day of peace, long after the dust has settled on the genocide.

“Not at All”: WFP Director Rejects Claims Hamas Is Stealing Gaza Aid Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme, told Face the Nation that Hamas is not stealing the aid entering Gaza. She said incidents of looting are driven by the desperation of starving civilians. The interview marked the first time in nearly 12 weeks that a major U.S. Sunday show directly addressed the U.S.-Israeli starvation siege on over 2 million Palestinian civilians in Gaza. McCain warned that more than 500,000 people face famine, calling it “a man-made catastrophe.” While Israel has recently allowed limited aid trucks in, she said it’s “a drop in the bucket” compared to the 600 trucks entering daily during the ceasefire. Inconsistent access continues to block relief, especially in the north. McCain also addressed Israel’s plan to route U.S. food aid through “safe zones” controlled by the Israeli military and private American contractors. She said WFP has not been included in that plan and urged greater international pressure to ensure aid reaches Gaza at the necessary scale through established channels. She said she recently met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to explain WFP’s operations and capabilities.
