Can someone help me understand this?
The Israelis have repeatedly insisted not only that Hamas was stealing aid for both profit and control over Gazans, but that the UN agencies involved were complicit in this. The Israelis had noted how much food went in Gaza during the ceasefire and said that if food wasn't reaching civilians, it was being hoarded, almost certainly by Hamas.
Both Hamas and the the UN, including the World Food Programme, denied this, saying that there was just no food in Gaza.
Right?
Then Gazans broke into a WFP warehouse in Gaza. Hamas and WFP agree on this.
Ihab Hasan yesterday, 5/28/25:
BREAKING: People in Gaza stormed Al-Ghafari warehouse in Gaza and found it stocked with food and flour. Hamas opened fire-reportedly killing 5.
Hamas proudly confirmed killing these five Gazans on Telegram.
5 لصوص تم إعدامهم على مدخل المغازي ونطلب المزيد بضرب بيد من Øديد لكل عميل
Translation:
Five thieves were executed at the entrance to Maghazi. We demand more, with an iron fist, against every collaborator.
Hamas killed hungry people for trying to get the food Hamas was refusing to distribute.
Says the World Food Programme:
Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP's Al-Ghafari warehouse in Deir Al-Balah, Central Gaza, in search of food supplies that were pre-positioned for distribution. Initial reports indicate two people died and several were injured in the tragic incident. WFP is still confirming details.
Gazan Hamza Howidy:
Breaking: reports from Gaza, that Hamas just shot at least five more Palestinians in the knees-the same day they executed five others-for the crime of being hungry and desperate enough to search for food. This is what Hamas calls "order." Kneecaps for the poor, bullets for the starving, executions for the desperate. They steal the aid, then shoot anyone who touches it without paying them first.
So...the UN's World Food Programme...which claimed there was no food in Gaza...was refusing to distribute a warehouse full of food to people they themselves say were desperately hungry?
Or was it Hamas doing this with the WFP warehouse...without the knowledge of the WFP?
Was it Hamas, the WFP, or both which refused to distribute food to people who both claimed were starving?
Does this not prove that at least one of these two organzations was lying?
Does this not prove that either the WFP was lying or the WFP is choosing to cover for Hamas' lies after the fact?
Is this not proof that Israel was right and that the UN agencies involved are not just lying but actively supporting Hamas instead of the people of Gaza?
Make it make sense?
The WFP also yesterday (5/28/25) said that "Sudan is the only country in the world where famine has been confirmed."
Meanwhile, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distributed 1.3 million meals directly to Gazans in about 36 hours. Here's video of Gazans at a GHF distribution center saying "thank you, America."
@Imshin:
Following the success of the GHF aid distribution centers in South Gaza Strip, another center opened today on Netzarim Corridor, between Central Gaza Strip and North Gaza. Large numbers of Gazans have been seen flocking there.

Residents of central Gaza are still arriving at the new distribution point south of the Netzarim axis. The cameraman reports a growing numb
