@DavidPenington@mastodon.au Okay, so:
Save the Children "aid is blocked at the borders, and famine is spreading fast."
WFP: "We call on all parties and the international community to ensure the instant, safe delivery of life-saving food."
WCK: "cooking has been greatly reduced this year as food supplies have been halted or constrained"
UNOPS: 382 requests rejected by COGAT, 939 truckloads delivered, 5511 intercepted.
Problem isn't funding, problem is not enough pressure on Israel to let the aid through.

@DavidPenington@mastodon.au The more people know about the blockade, the more people will demand it to be lifted. The flotilla is bringing attention where governments and a lot of media are silent.

@Mabande@mastodon.social I understand "intercepted" means the food crossed the border but did not get all the way to the organisation's base inside Gaza. It is either feeding someone or being stockpiled by Hamas or an armed group, but even food taken by a group generally feeds someone & much of it is sold & the more food there is in Gaxa, the lower the price.
