        Only Gaza. About half of the population of Palestine is the in the West Bank, and Hamas doesn’t run that

          Time will tell I guess. I don’t have a horse in this race so it’s just me and my opinions here.

    The UN had supplies for a humanitarian crisis. 1+ million people are being evacuated, and more bombs have now been dropped than an entire year in Afghanistan. Is this not a humanitarian crisis?

    If Hamas is the government, and the aid is there, then the government has received the aid that the UN delivered?

    I’m sure there’s more to this, that’s not mentioned, but the context is odd.

        And you’re not an Israeli apologist? They haven’t agreed with either side, they simply said both are entitled to medical care, is that truly thought provoking.

        The UN deleted the tweet and deny that it actually happened. Yet these news articles ignore that. But that doesn’t match with your extremely biased view. Genocide apologist?

      Hamas does occupy governmental positions, but they’re also demonstrably linked to terrorist actions which they take full responsibility for, and I think that takes precedence for most people. With that, many of us are reticent to call them a government.

      To your point though, if we can trust wikipedia and if I’m reading it correctly, the ministry of health in Gaza seems to also be under Hamas governance, so I’m not sure who else you’d deliver the foreign aid too.

    Why weren’t the supplies properly secured? This was going to happen otherwise.

    Love all the downvotes from people who have no concept of opsec. Please keep making excuses for them.

    My goodness the hivemind has migrated. Pointing out a mistake is apparently a grave error.

    There isn’t any indication that it was Hamas that stole the stuff? It just that people pretending to be the health authority stole stuff. Could’ve been some selfish asshole civilians who stole shit for themselves when they knew they were likely not priority for that aid.

    Eh fuel and medicine doesn’t help Hamas kill more people. So who cares. And yeah they might use meds to patch up militants, but guess what, laws of war state that wounded soldiers are allowed medical help.

      Fuel absolutly helps to kill more people. And wounded soldiers are allowed medical help but those medicines were for the civilians.

    “UNRWA received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in Gaza, removed fuel and medical equipment from the Agency’s compound in the Gaza City,”

    Given that Hamas is the de facto authority in Gaza, this cannot be Hamas lmfao

    Otherwise, Hamas made no effort to disguise who they were, which is even funnier
