    Because they just might actually find some of the hostages. Also it’s a great way to corral people and aid, and keep them separate.

        Yup all of the international reports from NGOs and the UN are wrong. Israel says so, so it must be true right?

            Are you talking about where they don’t count the food Isrealis turn around?

            And it very much is happening. It’s happening right now and has been happening for months now.

                    Analyzing data from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) agency of the Defense Ministry,

                    This is exactly what I said. They are counting the trucks that pass the border. And not accounting for trucks that are turned around inside Gaza by Israeli troops. And your news story study is from the Israeli government. Who is about as trustworthy as a murderer on trial.

                    Oh and the FRC take on the IPC report. But your buddy on twitter was hoping nobody would realize that was just FRC’s response to one report from FEWS. I’m not at all shocked they would present that as evidence of the whole instead of what it actually was. On the IPC website you will find that the people in Gaza have not been getting enough calories since February. Which is probably why countries have been air dropping food.

                    For the Northern governorates, the FRC finds the risk of Famine to be plausible based on the assumptions set by the analysis team. A high risk of Famine persists as long as conflict continues, and humanitarian access is restricted. The speed of deterioration observed in previous months, compounded by the increased vulnerability of the population after more than eight months of inadequate dietary intake, WASH and health conditions, increase the probability that Famine could occur during the projection period.
