    ELI5 how do you organise and distribute a humanitarian aid for 2.3M people in a war torn country, without the needed infrastructure and people on the ground? Shall we also mention that Israel is doing very little to streamline the delivery of this humanitarian aid, actively blocking it either entering the country or reaching the whole of Gaza?

    If this isn’t a collective punishment, what is? And it also happens to be a war crime. Do you refuse to acknowledge Israel’s involvement of this war crime? Or is Israel some special country for which international laws don’t apply?

      This is the problem Hamas manufactured. The sad reality is you can’t dismantle UNRWA and Hamas without further human suffering.

      People have been identifying this problem for a decade, if only the UN had heeded these warnings this all could have been avoided. The fault isn’t with the funding nations.
