    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Movement in and out of Gaza has been heavily restricted since 7 October, when Hamas fighters broke through Israel’s heavily-guarded perimeter fence - killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages.

    In response, Israel closed its borders with Gaza and began launching air strikes on the territory, restricting aid deliveries which Gazans heavily relied on.

    International pressure and a temporary seven-day ceasefire last month had allowed some badly-needed aid to enter the Gaza Strip, but the WFP insists a second border crossing is now needed to meet demand.

    Dr Ahmed Moghrabi, head of the plastic surgery and burns unit in the city’s only remaining health facility, Nasser hospital, fought back tears as he spoke to the BBC about the lack of food.

    Khan Younis has been the focus of heavy air strikes in recent days and the boss of Nasser hospital there said his team had “lost control” over the numbers of dead and wounded arriving at the facility.

    Speaking on Saturday, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, accused the United States of being complicit in war crimes, after it vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

    I still remember the U.N. saying millions in Afghanistan are going to die of starvation after America pulled out.

    Well, if Hamas would stop stealing humanitarian supplies, maybe they won’t starve. But what do I know, after all, most people there will simply say that it’s Israel fault for some reason.

      So where is the proof that Hamas has stolen humanitarian supplies during this war?

      Because I haven’t heard or seen anything like this.

      And then saying that it’s all Hamas fault and failing to mention that Israel’s inability to allow sufficient amount of humanitarian aid or humanitarian corridors, etc. is very hypocritical of you.

        So where is the proof that Hamas has stolen humanitarian supplies during this war?

        There a video, my Hamas protecting friend. There a news of Hamas firing a rockets from humanitarian zone. Also, look closely what your friends done.

        Because I haven’t heard or seen anything like this.

        And then saying that it’s all Hamas fault and failing to mention that Israel’s inability to allow sufficient amount of humanitarian aid

        Let me use that one against you: I never seen or heard anything like this. Hamas clearly have more then enough humanitarian aid, what implying that there more then enough supplies.

          First of all I am not defending Hamas, but putting all the blame at Hamas side and refusing to admit that the current humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza isn’t caused by Israel is extremely biased, and completely detached from reality.

          Plus none of the links you have provided are especially trustworthy or show Hamas stealing humanitarian aid in this conflict.

            Well, I see my comment got downvoted and your upvoted (even tho you basically saying “no, you liar” without any proofs from your side), I now think that leaving a comment there was a misstake in the first place. Go go, terrorists I guess.

              So every criticism of Israel is equal to terrorism defence and antisemitism? And do you really believe Israel is spotless and not to blame here?

              And I am sorry but none of the links that you have provided were proving your statement that Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid in this conflict. And by proof I need independently verified proof posted by a website or an media that’s independent and impartial to the conflict like Reuters, BBC, etc.

              On the other hand I think you can easily find plenty of articles showing that Israel has actively restricted the humanitarian aid flow into Gaza, including food and drinking water, fuel and electricity. And honestly if it wasn’t for the international pressure put on them they wouldn’t have allowed any.

              They also damaged 60% of the civilian infrastructure in the north and 20% of it in the south.

              According to Israelian generals the civilian casualties are more than 65%: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-many-palestinians-have-died-gaza-war-how-will-counting-continue-2023-12-06/ and on top of that even your key ally the US is criticizing you about the high civilian death toll and their suffering.

              I also think the international community is very much thinking the same as at the last UN vote 13 members voted for immediate ceasefire with one abstained and one against, your closest ally, the US https://www.rescue.org/press-release/un-security-council-resolution-humanitarian-ceasefire-gaza-irc-statement

              And then you wonder why you are getting downvoted…

                  Seriously, how many journalists do you think are working in the BBC? And if you haven’t noticed I have provided a link from Reuters, not the BBC. And you once again are failing to prove your initial point of Hamas stealing humanitarian aid. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/reuters/

                  Perhaps next time you can think twice before posting your unsubstantial claims, or be prepared to prove your point with facts, not propaganda.
