Surely even the diehard supporters of Israel condemn this almost daily killing of Palestinians.

Dreadful.

Yes, Hamas fake reporting and its attacks on aid workers and civilians is dreadful.

I am a diehard supporter of Israel and I most certainly condemn the killing of civilians, Israeli and Palestinian, by Hamas.  The disregard for Palestinian lives shown by Hamas is indeed dreadful and should be condemned by everyone.

The US State Department has approved $30 million in funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the State Department said on Thursday, calling on other countries to also support the controversial group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza.

 

"This support is simply the latest iteration of President Trump's and Secretary Rubio's pursuit of peace in the region," State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott told reporters at a regular news briefing.

 

Reuters was first to report the move earlier this week.

“We call on other countries to also support the GHF….a track record of distributing over 46 million meals distributed to date, all while preventing Hamas’ looting is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and should be COMMENDED and SUPPORTED. From day one, we said we are open to creative solutions that securely provide aid to those in Gaza and protects Israel. The support is simply the latest iteration of 
@POTUS's and @SecRubio's pursuit of peace in the region.” @StateDept  Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Piggot

Johnnie Moore, executive director of GHF, told Sky News that there is a "disinformation campaign" that is "meant to shut down our efforts" in the Gaza Strip, fuelled by "some figures" coming out every day.

 

"We're not contesting at all that there have been casualties in the Gaza Strip. I mean, there's no ceasefire. This is an active conflict," Mr Moore said.

 

"I think people may not understand as clearly what it means to operate a humanitarian operation on this scale, in an environment this complex, in a piece of land as small as the Gaza Strip, and may not appreciate that almost anything that happens in the Gaza Strip is going to take place in proximity to something."

Well of course he's not disputing there are deaths in Gaza, its a frigging war zone! Some of his own aid workers have been killed by Hamas in Gaza.

Aitor Zabalgogeaskoa, the Gaza emergency coordinator at Médecins Sans Frontières, said:

The four distribution sites, all located in areas under the full control of Israeli forces after people had been forcibly displaced from there, are the size of football fields surrounded by watch points, mounds of earth and barbed wire.

 

The fenced entrance gives only one access point in or out. GHF workers drop the pallets and the boxes of food and open the fences, allowing thousands in all at once to fight down to the last grain of rice.

Hamas doesn’t want this life saving aid given out free by GHF to work either. They go as far as murdering it’s workers and Gazans
