31. Israel rejects 'biased' warning of famine in Gaza

Israel rejected on Saturday a group of global food security experts’ warning of famine in parts of northern Gaza where it is waging war against Palestinian militant group Hamas.

“Unfortunately, the researchers continue to rely on partial, biased data and superficial sources with vested interests,” the military said in a statement.

The independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) said on Friday in a rare alert that there was a strong likelihood of imminent famine in parts of north Gaza with immediate action required from the warring parties to ease a catastrophic situation.

Israel’s military said it had increased aid efforts including opening an additional crossing on Friday.

In the last two months, 39,000 trucks carrying more than 840,000 tons of food have entered Gaza, it said, and meetings were taking place daily with the UN which had 700 trucks of aid awaiting pickup and distribution.

So why is it that there is not even an attempt to find out what happened to the 840,000 tons of food that already entered into Gaza in the past month? One would think the answer to this question would have something to do with starving Gazans, no?

Just look at this thread. Lots of self-righteous indignation being randomly thrown around against Israel, but not a word about Hamas stealing humanitarian aid from Gazan civilians.

One keeps wondering about such blunt displays of sanctimonious partiality...
