I’ve been thinking about this for months, wondering if all the food supplies were processed/tinned/dried products that had long shelf lives. Is there really fresh/frozen meat/veg/fish in these trucks? Even if we took out the horrific fact that people are starving in Gaza, there are people starving all over the world who could use this and ordinary people’s money (via tax and donations) has paid millions if not billions of pounds to supply this, supplies coming from countries that themselves have massive poverty. This is a fkng crime in itself, it’s outrageous, food waste is always bad but in the current global economic climate its unforgivable!
Same here, I was assuming most of it was tinned or dried, so with long shelf life. I keep expecting the countries that have paid for this aid to be speaking up about wastage but nothing seems to happen. But then nothing seems to happen about the slaughter of innocent people so who is going to worry about rotting fish and chicken. I have been expecting to hear more about lack of aid these last few days since they closed Rafah and that other crossing in the corner, but nope no-one seems to care too much. I can't believe we are still here, that this is still happening.I’ve been thinking about this for months, wondering if all the food supplies were processed/tinned/dried products that had long shelf lives.

I really hope this isn’t true
@Ennui this reminds of how fall the political discourse has fallen in the U.S. This is a clip from "The Phil Donahue Show," which was on every weekday at 9 a.m. from the late 60s until 1996. He would have a lot of different topics; political, socioeconomic with the odd celebrity interview. Paul Newman was a decent human being, had his head on straight and a stellar philanthropist. I can forgive him for that piece of crap film "Exodus" that painted the creation of Israel as this self-rightouse, multiethnic wonderland.
It's very interesting seeing the variation in headlines:
This is why things will never change. From such little ages they’re taught to hate and that Palestinians don’t deserve life. You grow up being taught that it’s very hard to unlearn when you’re an adult, hence why a lot of people believe the Israeli propaganda. They’ve been taught to hate. They’re incapable of taking a step back and doing the same thing they ask of others - not to tar all Israelis/jews with the same brush whilst they simultaneously say all Palestinians are hamas or terrorists or that they’re “collateral damage” in a “complex conflict”.His mum is so proud
A lot are foreigners with dual passports they don’t care and they don’t care about the hostages who are also going to starve, this is a land grab it’s as simple as that and they’re framing it as a religious war to garner sympathy using the victim card which is surely worn out and frayed at this point.
It is just so cruel from a human perspective. How can someone destroy the food that someone else donated for a starving person? Pure evil.
They have an us against them mentality they want their land at any cost even at the cost of the hostages. The problem is it isn’t their land and many have zero right to even be there at all.
