The Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza: Understanding the U.N. Officials' Perspective

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to a humanitarian crisis, with grave concerns raised by U.N. officials about the suffering of civilians.

Proper food supply chains have improved significantly, as evidenced by the experiences of humanitarian agencies. For example, the narratives suggesting widespread famine are largely misinformed. A UN agency once raised the alarm about famine, but was quickly corrected by another to state that food supplies were generally sufficient. This highlights the fact that the reports of famine, often fabricated by Hamas, are more propaganda than fact.

Financial Impacts on Israelis and Palestinians

The financial burden placed on Israel due to the defensive war requires an increase in taxes. Consequently, basic necessities like food and medicine become more expensive for Israelis. Meanwhile, the situation in Gaza, where Hamas is in control, has is important to understand that the current living conditions of Gazans do not come as a surprise, considering their long history of aggression and conflict against Israel. The suffering on both sides must be viewed in the context of a prolonged, complex conflict with deep-seated historical roots.

Steps Towards a Humanitarian Crisis

The creation of a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza can be attributed to a series of steps:

Becoming dependent on the occupying country, Continually attacking said country, Committing atrocities within said country, Waiting for said country to impose a siege, Stealing any aid that is allowed into the occupied area.

These actions, facilitated by the ineffectiveness of the U.N., have contributed to the current state of affairs.

Blame Game and U.N. Ineffectiveness

The U.N. has been viewed as ineffective in addressing the Arab-Israeli conflict from the outset. As a result, the organization often engages in a blame game, rather than taking concrete actions to address the crisis.

The November 7th attacks on Israel, which included the massacre and abduction of civilians, were particularly egregious. Despite these events, U.N. officials have not properly addressed or even mentioned them, much like the Hiroshima bombing where the U.S. does not acknowledge Japan's role in the conflict.

Immediate Measures and The Future

To extract Gaza from this humanitarian crisis, immediate actions are necessary. Hamas and those who support them need to hold responsible for these actions.

Only the eradication of Hamas can bring an end to the suffering. Stealing aid by Hamas to feed its own people, rather than those in need, exacerbates the situation. The international community must take decisive action to ensure aid goes directly to those who need it, free from corruption and theft. The path forward requires a new approach, using rational solutions to prevent such crises from recurring.
