Starving Palestinians storm US aid facility as distribution operation breaks down
The scandal-plagued scheme is a US-Israeli initiative designed to bypass UN infrastructure for aid delivery and distribution in the strip
Palestinians clamoured for aid and gunfire rang out in chaotic scenes, as a controversial US-Israeli aid distribution scheme turned to shambles.
Journalists in the besiged Gaza Strip said hungry and beleagured residents forced to stand outside a facility holding aid rushed inside because of delays conducting detailed security checks on recepients.
According to Israeli army sources cited by Israeli media, Americans affiliated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation had to be rescued once they lost control of the facility.
The Israeli military denied firing on the crowds but gunfire was heard at the scene, possibly as a result of warning shots fired by American mercenaries securing the facility. There have been no reports of deaths or injuries so far.
hint: it did not “break down” - the plan all along was to starve the people for as long as the world would allow it.
Stop restricting UN's proven food distribution programme from doing their thing, IDF!
Honestly, good for them. If you’re starving to death, you get food Now.

So what did people think would happen when not enough aid is kind of let in to a long-starving, traumatized nation, actively being genocided?
Unfortunately I assume that's now going to turn from delayed aid to no aid for a while.
