Israel is blaming the UN for the lack of vital food deliveries to Gaza — as harrowing video captured hundreds of desperate Palestinians swarming aid trucks over the weekend.
Israel officials are hitting back at claims that they have delayed aid from coming into Gaza — sharing images of tons of aid piled up inside the Gaza Strip, which they said is just waiting to be delivered to hungry Palestinians.
Col. Abdullah Halabi, from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), told reporters last week that around 1,000 truckloads of aid remain undelivered “due to a lack of cooperation from the international community and international organizations.”

Anything to make it look like Israel is the cause of the suffering in Gaza...

If there was no Hamas, there would be few problems.

I love it. Complaints from a "former USAID official", lol. Tell me, Mr. "former official", why are you out of a job?
They recklessly waste taxpayer money for years, Trump stops it, and now they blame Israel.
The UN never does anything right, and it consistently undermines the US. But we should take the UN at its word that this is all Israel's fault.
If Hamas could get 1 minute of favorable press it would kill as many people as it takes. And the "former" crooks at USAID are not to be believed.

The UN has demonstrated since October 7, 2023 that they are on the side of the nonexistent palestinians, which are 90% Hamas. We need to detach ourselves of that sham third world cabal and demolish the building in New York City.

Israel is at war with Hamas. Since when are you required to feed and provide aid to those trying to kill you? The Palestinians are starving because of Palestinians/Hamas. The UN is, as usual, useless. The UN is good at hand wringing and criticizing but not good at delivering. UN, put your words into action and do something. Other Arab nations are also doing nothing to help. Why is this Israel's responsibility?

Or as the Babylon Bee headline says, "Gaza Said to be Starving, But Not 'Release the Hostages' Starving".

Trump told me all I need to know. The U.S. taxpayer sent $60M or U.S. aid to feed those in Gaza that want to kill us --and no other country sent anything. The Gazans are not helpless, and can figure out to get it into their mouths. It is not our job, or Israel's to spoon feed them.

"State Department Officials" is where the catch is. There is no difference between these people and the UN who are no different from the UNRWA. Look at who will benefit if Israel can be blamed in front of the world and you will get your answer.

I have NO DOUBT. Maybe the IDF needs to confiscate it and distribute it to the Palestinians!
More than likely the UN Thugs are selling it on the black market, PROVE I AM WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

I seem to recall the US was sucessfully distributing food to the Palestinians but Hamas demanded that only the UN do it.Of course Hamas and the UN are allies.

Everyone I see in Gaza is male of military age. If they aren't Hamas why aren't they fighting for their country & getting rid of Hamas?

The United Nitwits (UN) screw up everything they touch...OR they are not delivering it but SELLING IT on the black market. I vote for the latter!

The stated goal of hamas is to destroy Israel. You do not make deals with barbarians, you deal with them.

I truly don't know who is blocking the aid.
This is know: the terror tribe's stock in trade is causing suffering to its own people and parading them on the world stage while blaming Israel.
Anyway I still don't understand why it's Israel's job to feed them.
