Reverse..
UN delivery trucks crossing into the Gaza Strip from Egypt have carried food, water, fuel and other medical supplies to Palestinians facing life-threatening shortages of basic supplies as Israel shut down Water, food, fuel on citizens of Gaza.
The Biden adminitration has pledged $100 million in humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians amid the crisis.
Earlier reported,
Within hours of the horrific attack by Hamas, the U.S. began moving warships and aircraft to the region to be ready to provide Israel with whatever it needed to respond.
A second U.S. carrier strike group departs from Norfolk, Virginia. Scores of aircraft are heading to U.S. military bases around the Middle East. Special operations forces are now assisting Israel’s military in planning and intelligence. The first shipment of additional munitions has already arrived.
Comments
Pennies to feed each of two and a half million people displaced, poor, hungry, bombed with no hospitals, and hundred billions of our killing machines to fuel the random killing and destruction!!!
Is it time to reverse, more humanitarian and less killing machines? We may not have all this hate between humans.
Just a thought.

War-batterred
War-battered Gaza’s already fragile economy lies in ruins, much like its buildings, following more than a month of bombings by Israel after Hamas militants attacked the country in October.
Even before the war, a majority of Gazans had limited access to affordable, nutritious provisions and were deemed food insecure, according to the United Nations World Food Programme, but the situation has now turned dire. About 80% of Gaza residents were reliant on some sort of international aid before the latest escalation.
“Gaza’s economy is 100% dependent on two sources of revenue: foreign aid and access to Israel’s labor market. The latter is now gone, probably forever. The only thing remaining is foreign aid,” Marko Papic, partner and chief strategist at Clocktower Group, told CNBC via email.
As the USA and other western countries look the other directions while civilians, men, women, kids killed, and houses, hospitals are destroyed. Overall, the assistance of tens of billions of dollars goes to the war in Ukraine?
Macron..
In number of occasions Mr Macron listed the women, the babies, the old people in Gaza who, he said, had nothing to do with terror attacks, being killed in bombings by Israel.
He insisted there was no justification for that and the bombing campaigns must stop. Palestinian lives matter, he said, humanitarian law must be respected.
In stark contrast to Washington, which has ruled out the idea of a ceasefire for now, Mr Macron repeated over and again that to protect Gaza civilians a humanitarian ceasefire was needed.
He urged Israel to accept one and said he hoped other world leaders, including in the US and the UK, would make the same case.
