@Mabande@mastodon.social I don't see these silent media. I see extensive coverage in reasonable media that I see from Australia, but you are in a different country. Eg bbc : in a story about the Qatar killings & hostages also says "Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza City has drawn international criticism, with the UN warning a military escalation in an area where famine has been declared will push civilians into an "even deeper catastrophe"" In the statistics you quote, of 6,800 truck loads, 6400 got into Gaza (94%), but 85% of those loads did not make it to the agency site for their distribution process (some/much will have been siezed by crowds on the way). That's not a food blockade, but lots more loads of food would help a lot.

@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.

@weezmgk@mastodon.social This situation has not been noticed? It's wall to wall media here & huge demonstrations. I think it's more the "freedom flotilla" seeking relevance than any need for more publicity.

@thejuicemedia@mastodon.social If you want to feed starving children in Gaza, donate (in kind even) to one of the agencies distributing food in gaza. A flotilla of small craft carrying numerous people is highly inefficient, political & will feed hardly any one. Update: For example https://www.savethechildren.net/ https://www.wfp.org/emergencies/palestine-emergency https://wck.org/news/gaza-update-8-14

@robertlogger@social.vivaldi.net @simon_brooke@mastodon.scot @jmsdnns@mastodon.social Jitsi is nice but does all the video processing on the users' PCs so poor connection or slow machine runs into problems, especially for larger groups.
