The final statistics for August are in at the
UNOPS site, and the World Food Programme - which is responsible for the vast majority of food that the UN brings into Gaza - had a perfect record of delivering food to Hamas.
They collected 25.954 tons of food at the Gaza border. 100% of it was stolen en route.
Yet the WFP still insists that the solution is to "flood Gaza with food" - which would all go to Hamas.
“If you are elderly, if you are a child under 5, if you are a widow - how, in the current conditions, can you access food?” asked WFP Palestine Country Director Antoine Renard. He and others are calling for flooding Gaza with enough assistance to ensure it reaches all the Strip’s 2 million civilians - the only way, they say, to turn around a catastrophic hunger trajectory.
“If there is the political will, the situation can flip from one day to the next,” Renard added. “There are no logistical issues, no lack of capacity, no lack of funding. The goods are there, ready to serve the population.”
As I have mentioned,
UNICEF hires private Gaza security for its aid deliveries. As a result, while it only collected 892 tons of food, over 90% of it were delivered successfully.
Why isn't the WFP?
And why has not one reporter asked this question from the WFP or the UN?
WFP agrees that "the goods are there." Israel isn't limiting anything. The World Food Programme has made a conscious decision not to secure the deliveries and instead hand them over to Hamas.
It is essentially a conveyer belt of funding to a terror group.
