Is the World Food Programme Serving Gaza’s Hungry — or Hamas’s War Aims?

This is what the World Food Programme writes on its Gaza webpage:



As I have shown, not one ounce of food from WFP had it to its intended recipients in August as well as much of (or all) July. 

For September so far, its record of non-delivery remains perfect. The UNOPS dashboard records that the WFP collected 9155.6 tons of aid so far in September, and 9155.6 tons of aid were "intercepted" en route.

Does it sound like "WFP has the logistics capacity, expertise and operational coverage to deliver assistance across Gaza," like they claim? Capacity and expertise are meaningless when they result in 0% efficiency.

Why should anyone donate to an organization with a proven record of zero efficiency? 

Their plan for Gaza appears to be to give as much food as humanly possible to Hamas.

None of the money anyone gives to the WFP goes to ensuring that the food aid gets to the intended recipients. In Gaza, it all goes to Hamas and other armed gangs. 

The WFP has both internal and external auditors, but I cannot find any reports that describe the problem of the organization having a zero precent effectiveness rate. Auditors check that the money is spent as budgeted, not that the food reaches hungry people. In Gaza, that means WFP can report compliance while delivering nothing. An accountability system that ignores outcomes is not accountability at all.

It is hard to avoid the conclusion that the WFP knowingly chooses to enrich Hamas in a hope that some of the food will eventually reach Gazans who need it after they pay for it. That means that WFP is making a political decision - that indirect food supplies are more important than stopping a terrorist group. WFP’s decision to hand over food to Hamas is not neutral. It privileges Hamas’s war aims over Israel’s security and over the lives of ordinary Gazans. By treating diversion as acceptable ‘indirect distribution,’ WFP effectively launders theft into policy.

At the same time, when they criticize the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation which has a much better record of successfully delivering food to those who need it, they are using Hamas statistics of casualties at the sites - meaning that they are again promoting Hamas politically and opposing Israel's own attempts to bring in food. And the WFP opposed the GHF before the first alleged casualty. 

Put it together, and the World Food Programme appears to prioritize Hamas' war aims over Israel's, and it is using food as a means to help Hamas, not to help Gazans who legitimately need food.

When WFP asks the public to ‘help life-saving support reach those families who need it most,’ it should first explain why not a single ounce has reached them in months.
