UN tells Israel it will suspend aid operations across Gaza without improved safety, UN officials say
Senior U.N. officials said aid operations will be suspended unless urgent steps are taken to better protect humanitarian workers.
"If you don't stop committing a humanitarian crisis, we're going to stop sending humanitarian aid!"
...
What?
This is the situation Israel has been aiming for
These attacks have led UNRWA to declare that Gaza is currently the most dangerous place on Earth for aid workers, making it extremely difficult for groups to carry out the work necessary to stem the famine and various epidemics raging across Gaza — that is, when Israel even allows the materials needed for such efforts to cross the border.
Israel has acknowledged some military strikes on humanitarian workers, including an April attack that killed seven workers with the World Central Kitchen and has denied allegations of others.
So Israel doesn't want any aid to Gaza...
Have killed aid workers multiple times...
And now aid workers are being pulled because Israel keeps killing them.
Sounds like the UN is negotiating with a terrorist state.
Mayhaps the people of Israel aren’t a hive mind and different groups want different things?
Is it possible that many of want aid entering and work hard for it to flow into Gaza, while others violently oppose it?
Or, you don't know what you're talking about....and Israel actually does care about getting aid into the country, and that's why the UN framed this as a warning.
Edit: Shout out to absolute know-nothing reactionaries downvoting this post.
Israel actually does care about getting aid into the country
Is this why there was the flour massacre and many others around that time, and why the WCK aid workers were killed? Oh yeah and why they said they were stopping all food and water? And why there is much less aid coming in than there was before the war even started, when the need was much lower?
Words are cheap. Israel's actions speak volumes.
Of humanitarian groups, UNRWA has borne the brunt of Israel’s horrific extermination campaign. According to agency Chief Philippe Lazzarini, Israeli forces have killed 193 UNRWA workers in Gaza since October and massacred 250 aid workers in total so far. Israeli forces have continually targeted UNRWA facilities, often in refugee camps, damaging or destroying 190 UNRWA facilities in Gaza, or about half of the agency’s facilities in the region.
Bro we get it. You are very clearly some Israeli payed guy to get ur propaganda across. You can stop now. I don't need to read from multiple secures, like the UN itself, that Israel is actively hindering help in Gaza, to then come to Lemmy and get told by a random that everyone is lying and Israel is secretly the good guy.
This isn't some conspiracy against Israel. Israel is actively committing genocide.
Israel: "Oh, Thats a shame furiously launches more attacks against aid workers"
Is this supposed to be a threat to Israel?
lol
In a world were the US, UK, Germany and others who still stand by the fascists in Israel weren't mass murdering fascists themselves it would be a reason for them to cut ties and sanction the hell out of Israel.
Maybe one of the member nations could do something to create that safety instead of throwing up their hands as Gaza starves. Or even just acknowledge that this is exactly what Israel wanted to achieve by killing aid workers.
No no you see this is antisemitic. Israel is the most moral country with the most moral army. Hamas is always targeting civillians, Israel is just killing them without targeting them. And if they did it were actually Hamas fighters, and if they werent it was their fault. And if it wasnt then it was a mistake and if it wasnt that either then a single soldier stepped out of line and got like two weeks of community service for it, so Israel remains the most moral entity in the world.
Then send in armed forces to do it instead. Why can we send aid workers but not soldiers?
Because most of the military powers of the world are aligned with Israel and actively enabling and supporting this genocide.
It would all be over tomorrow if the US, UK, Germany and other fascist friends would stop sending any weapons, threaten sanctions and if necessary impose a no fly zone over Gaza. Instead Israel gets more F16s to be able to bomb even faster.
This announcement likely resulted in aid workers being raised on the list of priority targets
Yeah I'm sure that'll... help? Israel is the one dropping airstrikes on refugee camps, what makes anyone think they actually want any aid in Gaza at all?
Yea my first thought when I saw the news was
"oh no, its exactly what we wanted" -Israel
All according to keikaku - israel
Note: keikaku means plan.
From concentration camp to death camp
