To help Peter Savodnik and Michael Walzer (and indeed anyone else) understand what it is going on re the Humanitarian Aid to the Gaza Strip, COGAT does a daily update. COGAT is the IDF coordinating arm for humanitarian aid. There are now 21 bakeries operating in Gaza (mostly North Gaza) producing over 2 million loaves of bread, rolls and pita.

On 7 April 322 lorry loads of humanitarian aid entered the strip, including 35 lorries carrying food for North Gaza.

The breakdowns of the exact aid may not be exciting, but they are there.

You can also see how many trucks were cleared by the IDF (322) , how many were transferred for delivery (302) and how many the UN actually distributed to the population (110). Figures for 7 April. So appears to be the usual pattern re distribution. So where is the hold up? Not on the Israeli side seemingly.

It constantly surprises me that journalists and others are not checking the site for accurate info on the humanitarian aid and then asking the hard questions. https://govextra.gov.il/cogat/humanitarian-efforts/home/

Just to be clear, is this report from "left-wing Peter Savodnik"? I mean, in all instances where other people like Ticker Carlson are mentioned, we must be reminded that they are "right-wing" so... is this from the "left-wing Peter Savodnik"???

Maybe left-wing Peter Savodnik can be sent to Kensington in Philadelphia to see where "left-wing" policies will take his own community... not sure why I should continue to give a shit about Israel and even less sure why I should fucking care about Gaza... maybe left-wing Peter Savodnik can remind me...

No, it’s always “far right wing.” But seriously, so glad you made this point because I’m so sick of seeing it.

It’s telling that the casualty reports from Hamas authorities always goes something like this - “30,000 dead, mostly women and children “ . How can it be that Palestinian men aren’t apparently being effected if it’s not the case that those men are underground and willingly sacrificing their wives, mothers, sisters and children on the alter of oppressed victim hood - now with our President’s support.

Is the problem the "environment", or is the problem the deliberate actions of Hamas?
