Food Aid to Gaza Is Getting Stolen as Fast as It Can Be Delivered
On the menu today: The fast-moving news cycle is a clumsy administration’s
best friend. This weekend, the Biden administration got what it wanted when it
announced the construction of a U.S.-taxpayer-funded pier in the Gaza Strip —
happy headlines about the U.S. military starting to deliver aid to the
Palestinians, many of whom really are desperate. And in what probably counts
as a small miracle, Hamas hasn’t attempted to bomb or otherwise attack the
pier yet. But there’s a little catch, in that the food aid is getting stolen before it
can reach the World Food Program warehouse . . . just eight miles away. Once
the food aid leaves the pier, the United Nations, international partners, and the
“humanitarian community” oversee getting the aid to those who need it most.
And they’re getting robbed, hijacked, and mugged.
