There's a need for at least 700 trucks every day to cover everyone's needs(, at least 1000-1500 according to wikipedia), three months ago the WaPo talked about only allowing sixty trucks per day, citing israeli officials.
Since the last ceasefire there's apparently less than a hundred trucks per day(, 27/day for the WFP, sometimes with a week-long pause on truck movements). The WFP claims to possess more than 116,000 tons of food assistance, enough to feed 1 million people for up to 4 months.
The GHF only fed 2% of the population. The same wiki article says it now delivers 2.6M meals/day of 500-700kcal, enough to feed 800.000 people, others only speak of 1.2M meals, confirmed here and in most articles. Note that they proudly claim transparency, but that's the most official page i could find launched the 11th of June and last updated the 12th. They weirdly did not even bother to create a website(, why ?), and are critized for their behavior(, here as well,) and opacity, apparently linked with Boston Consulting Group who was «shocked and outraged to learn that people at the firm were so closely tied to it», and fired two people linked to the project.
The UNRWA is mostly inactive now, the OCHA doesn't distribute food, nor does the UNICEF/WHO/..
The World Central Kitchen has suspended its programs in April after Israel killed 7 of its workers, and only partially relaunched their program.
The help from some border states, like Jordan or Egypt, doesn't amount to that much a.f.a.i.k.(, perhaps 50 trucks per day for Jordan, while Egypt is blocking the aid).

Their goal is to get rid of the local population, either though murders or by forcing them to flee, while systematically destroying their habitation like during the Nakba.

In April 2025, Israel Katz, Israel's Defense Minister, said that « Israel's policy is clear : no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population. »

Edit/Addition : Another worrying thing is that COGAT, a unit from Israel's ministry of defense, stopped updating its weekly reports, 150 trucks for 2M people has always been far below the minimum of 700 required, and that weren't given for some weird reasons somehow linked to Hamas.
I couldn't find an official statement from COGAT explaining why they stopped, but it should logically be somewhere. Doesn't help in trusting Israel's intentions.
We still have the UN weekly reports, the chapter "Deteriorating Food Insecurity and Malnutrition" in their most recent one seems worth reading.

From https://x.com/BMoon_bee/status/1944154267864248392 :

Invited on 🇮🇱 Channel 13, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert breaks the official 🇮🇱 propaganda live and doesn’t mince words:

— “In the West Bank, war crimes are committed daily. Jewish settlers murder Palestinians, they burn them alive. When these crimes are committed with the government’s complicity, the police are present — they turn a blind eye. As for the Israeli army, it is not fulfilling its role.”

Facing him, the hosts try to downplay the facts, claiming that the true perpetrators of the violence are the Palestinians and that settler attacks are the work of only a tiny minority.

Olmert retorts, firmly:

— “What you’re saying is false and misleading. Every day, the ‘hilltop youth,’ these extremist terrorist militias, carry out mass attacks. Palestinians are assaulted, driven off their land. Their fields are set ablaze, their homes too. Just yesterday, an American citizen was struck on the head with a baton. He was murdered.”

Olmert’s intervention is not only a damning admission aimed at Israelis but also at European leaders: the crimes against humanity committed against Palestinians in the West Bank are not isolated incidents, but a systematic genocidal policy aimed at deporting all Palestinians, not just those in Gaza.

And when a former 🇮🇱 Prime Minister speaks like this, the world no longer has an excuse to look away and deny these crimes!

Channel 13 is a capitalist-owned media, with ties to Netanyahu like a lot of other israeli medias, it's in third position after shifting closer to Netanyahu's far-right in recent years : https://www.timesofisrael.com/is-israels-channel-13-being-neutered-for-netanyahus-sake-its-not-so-simple, https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jul/20/uk-billionaires-israeli-tv-channel-accused-of-axing-show-for-netanyahu
The channel 14, ranked second, is also on the far-right and pro-Netanyahu : https://www.972mag.com/israel-right-media-now14
As usual the right only cares about themselves while accusing the left of being too 'nice for their own good'/naive/unrealistic.

(from s.m.b.c.)

And yes, sure, on the other side : https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8433596

Just that i'd prefer if Netanyahu's goverment was an exception, if there was still a chance for justice/peace instead of the law of the strongest : https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8394953/6633521

Worth adding Ehud Olmert's realignment plan : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realignment_plan

According to the plan, Israeli settlements in 90% of the West Bank would be evacuated and dismantled.

I've heard that their history books talk about european history(, Charlemagne, ...), that's insane, i didn't believed it at first(, and still suppose that it was exaggerated, and that their school books probably talk less about the history of Greece, Rome, and western Europe, than Africa and the rest of the world).
I can attest as someone living in France that we know much more about allied/useful countries like Japan and Korea(, and the u.s.a. of course,) than about other african countries that speak french, we can't expect them to seek a strong alliance/union with us if we don't know their cultures, these ties will fade if the french government does nothing linked to them except anti-immigration laws to preserve our so-called "french" "historic" culture, we could begin by t.v. shows partnering with them, but it only shows how our efforts to maintain these (cultural/.. )ties are close to none, we could have salvaged some connection with them(, not economic). We're living in a bubble, afraid of foreign "disinformation".
And while westerners forget(never learn) about our actions to preserve a favorable status quo, africans are more aware than us of what we did in their country, and probably also in Asia, the Middle-East, South America, and their own continent.
If we succeed in being united in uniformity, like we're fighting for, then does it mean that future schisms will be sanctioned ? Is it even worth fighting for hegemony if a diverse union is more desirable ?

Honestly he's right, the most ressources/..-rich continent is suspiciously the poorest, it can't continue like that, i've only theories(, protectionnism//liberalism, exportation of raw materials to import manufactured goods, crazy compounded interests, ..., i've started two posts on this topic this past year w/o ending them), but i certainly hope it'll change, as soon as possible.
And we(sterners) shouldn't simply stop benefiting from the global South, but actively help each other instead, to the point of slowing/stopping our growth for them, 'and then they'll help in return later if we need it'/'simply because we can&should'.
(That's partly how/why a union is still possible/desirable, and how 'a muslim/christian/.. behave'/'the Kingdom/City of God comes unto the Earth', if we 'seek the Supreme Good in deeds and not in words'/'take religion seriously')

Now : of course you're sanctioned, because you're allowing Wagner to help you instead.
«You're free but not from consequences»(/s)
Imagine if Russia sanctioned Mali over the presence of french troops on their territory.
They can't fight the u.s., so should submit to their power and expel Wagner, too many dozens of countries have experimented, and are still suffering from, the cruel western economic sanctions/warfare, they can't win.
(Thing is that they first ask for a finger and end up taking the arm, universalism rimes with uniformism. And all in the name of freedom once again, so much hypocrisy)
Yet another information you won't hear in m.s.m.

That doesn't make sense tbh.
Seen here

Senegal
Kenya
Ghana
Benin, after the usual economic sanctions
Mali, apparently
Sudan
Somalia
...

With some help from R.T., 'as usual'/'of course'.

It also prevented China from recovering Taiwan
