Despite a U.N.-backed report sounding the alarm on imminent famine in northern Gaza, Israeli authorities announced Sunday they will no longer approve the passage of any UNRWA food convoys into northern Gaza. "Our ability to adequately continue saving lives is really being obstructed," says UNRWA spokesperson Tamara Alrifai. "What's going to happen to UNRWA if we can no longer truly operate?" The decision came as President Biden signed a $1.2 trillion appropriations bill that strips funding to UNRWA for the next year. The U.S. first suspended aid to UNRWA in late January, when the Israeli government claimed 12 of the agency's 30,000 employees were involved in Hamas's attacks on October 7. The unsubstantiated allegation prompted top donors to cut funding to UNRWA, though many of them have resumed funding as the agency welcomes new donor countries and an unprecedented number of civil society donations. Seeing the U.S., the agency's largest donor, "withhold funding … is a huge blow to us," says Alrifai. "Stripping UNRWA of funding not only shrinks its ability to respond to the looming famine in Gaza, but also puts at risk the schools, the access of kids to proper education, the vaccines, the mother and child care - everything across the region."

I am proud of my Irish heritage. They are on the right side of this issue.
Food/Aid cannot be distributed, but Arms can. Sick 🤢
Israel sending dozens of aid trucks into Gaza each day. Hamas is hijacking them.
Because Israeli Rafael owns 4 British manufactures. Besides armaments are paid. But food for UNRWA is a charity.
Yes, war is big business for a select, small group. Speaking of civilizational arsonists... what countries is Nuland plying tinder to, now that she is a bit of a free agent?
I agree 💯
Hamas steals the food from the Palestinian people Hamas steals everything from the Palestinian people I am Palestinian I relocated to the United States with my family many years ago set all things for 1 second Israel doesn't want that aid to get in there but Israel knows that that aid isn't going to go to the people
The United States should be forced out of all International organizations
Can't understand my country being so cruel. I have donated to UNRWA continue to try to help feed these devastated people. How could anyone stave childen.
If they are devastated then why they attack a heavily militarized country? It’s called self devastation. A never ending self devastating process 😂
You did what you could do brother, not your fault

@MrZiggy089
Netanyahu funded Hamsas to prevent the formation of a Pennsylvania state.
He was aware that they were planning an attack on October 7th as the plans were a year old.
He chose to do nothing as an excuse for an ethnic cleansing.
Gaza is the world's largest concentration camp.
What could you expect from a group of young men who spent their entire lives within a concentration camp?
During the Great March of Return, Isreal Madd peaceful revolution was impossible by massacring protesters by the hundreds.
Nat Turner also led a rebellion against slave masters as he was a slave.
You would be calling for his execution if you had lived during his time period.
Failing to mention that those of Hamas as well as the rest of those in Gaza live in a concentration camp is as bad as failing to mention that Nat Turner was a slave.

Children are smaller and have fewer body-fat stores to draw from. They fail much faster. Within days, faced with nothing to eat, the body begins feeding on itself. The body starts to consume energy stores - carbohydrates, fats and then, scavenging the protein parts of tissue. Kidney function is impaired, and the immune system weakens becoming stalked by infection, inflamed intestines, and diseases such as anemia, pneumonia, cholera, diarrhea, hepatitis, malaria. The heart, lungs, and other organs weaken and shrivel without food, eventually so does the brain. In this process that includes incomprehensible pain, finally, the heart stops.
What a cruel and sad World we are living in now.

I agree.It’s appalling.
Because there are no war crimes… ICJ can’t do anything. Those agencies are there for political reasons. You should check what the international law says and ask where all the billions the Palestinians received went for…
The forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza is so horrific. The images and videos of children who are extremely malnourished and dying from being forcibly starved are truly haunting. It is disgusting to me that the U.S. would just pull funding from UNRWA like that, taking away opportunities for the innocent Palestinians to finally get the aid they needed. Free Palestine. Permanent Ceasefire Now.
Reward Terrorists ok
the government is to serve the people not to use them. people have the right to oppose the misuse of the tax money..
you must be new on the tax cattle wage slave plantation ... ?
This should give the Palestinian Authority reason to think and push further at ICC and ICJ. The money. from the US was to stop PA from seeking justice.
The ICC has been a complete boondoggle for South Africa. Not only did they not get their desired outcome of a ceasefire, but the only affirmative demand made by the court was to release the hostages immediately and unconditionally.
This pro-terrorism anti-Izraeli rubbish is nothing more than bigotry and ancient hate typical of facists.

I'm so angry at US support of Netanyahu.

Same this country is still as racist and full of shit and yet people want to act like it's improved. I just see a pile of dog poop when I think of what represents this country.
The reason given for countries stopping aid to UNWRA was Hamas personnel within their staff or staff connected to Hamas. As Hamas was the administrative authority in the area, supported initially by Israel, there had to be connections between the two organisations. This doesn't mean that UNWRA staff were all, or indeed any, active fighters in Hamas. There administrative and armed branches of Hamas need to be distinguished between.
One of Hamas's underground bunkers was found _under the UNRWA's headquarters_. And multiple UNRWA personnel personally took part in the Oct7 massacre.
Which is why anyone who supports them looks really bad in the end.

The US state department's determination that Israel was not committing crimes in Gaza, crimes in which the US is complicit, is legally worthless. The US's opinion is the same as Israel's, both are equally responsible. This US statement comes out at the same time a UN investigation concludes a genocide could be occurring in Gaza. Remember, Kirby's assertion of there being no evidence of genocide at the same time the ICJ ruled 15 to 2 that genocide was probable. The US administration lies to break US and international law.
I can say that opinion of UN is the same like Hitler's one.
This lie has been the most outright deception. Especially given all the expert reports that Is ra hell is breaking international humanitarian law as well as the findings by ICJ.

We can donate to unrwa but the problem is obstruction to distribution
HOW ARE THE HOSTAGES DOING? ARE THEY GETTING MEDICAL TREATMENT, FOOD ETC?
As the guest Tamara said at the end.. UNRWA is the agency "...fully in charge for the Palestinian refugees... For registering them and their descendants..."
And that last bit is precisely the problem!
UNRWA's mission, as demonstrated by their actions, and as unfortunately incentivized by the huge amounts of money we are talking about... Is to maintain generations of Palestinians as "refugees", in effect convincing each generation that they are dispossessed and instead of trying to lift them out of that status with proper education and development and build a better future where they are not dependent upon billions of international aid each year....UNRWA's actions demonstrate the opposite intent.
Now I am not saying they do not disburse some important aid... But there are definitely other agencies that can do that... And UNRWA should definitely not be in charge of the education system, nor charged with registering generations of refugees

@@djentlegiant739 I will say this... Bibi has definitely got to go and is an impediment for any future peace...
Not just because of him personally and his history... But because who he chose to make his bed with in order to maintain power, which are these far right religious extremists notjobs, who are also impediments to peace.
But if you're the person who views the October 7th terrorist attack as righteous freedom fighters who conducted themselves according to some high degree of morality... Then you are also an extremist nutjob, the types that are impediments to peace
Typical "Goebbels" talk.
@@djentlegiant739 .. I will also say that far too many innocent civilians have been killed,... Probably around 2/3 of the number that Hamas quotes... Which is horrible and horrific.
I want this war to end, and there has got to be a better way of moving forward from this point.
But I'm also clearheyed that Hamas is not an ally of peace nor are they an ally to the Palestinian or gazan people... Whatever social services they provide as being the elected government of Gaza (who then never held reelections), they have a social indoctrination and militant wing which has committed and has a mission statement of terrorism
@@djentlegiant739 unfortunately YT deleted my earlier/longer response... it was something like:
I will tell you that BB is an impediment to peace and has got to go... Not just because of his personal history and ideology and politics, but also due to who he chose to make his bed with on the extreme far right in order to stay in power.
However I am also very clear-eyed that this Hamas, a so-called elected government of Gaza who then never held elections again... Has never been and will never be an ally of peace, nor an ally of the palestinian/gazan people.
Whatever social services they provide, they also have much larger efforts and resources dedicated towards massive social indoctrination, instillment and incitement of hatred, and a history & mission statements involving Terror activities...
And I will say that far too many civilians have been killed, injured, displaced... Which is of course the intended outcome and tactic of Hamas..."martyring" the most innocent of the population in order to essentially broadcasted on media and social media to turn the world against Israel in the larger propaganda battle.
But there has to be a better way of moving forward.... Otherwise Israel may win the battle but lose the war.
No pretzel here, mate
How dare you say such a thing are you sure you are human
Starvation has been a strategy first practiced by ancient tribal regions of the world. Military use of food and water denial against a populations has the effect of demoralizing a population. Rendering them, along with possible death, desperate, controllable and pliable to invading and occupying forces. This is exactly what WWII Nazis did to Jews before the Final Solution. Israel's IDF, in this ancient tradition, wants as little food, water and medical assistance to get through as possible for this purpose. This is one reason civilized nations had to come up with some kind of international 'rules of war' to distinguish defensive and corrective war violence from 'crimes against humanity' like genocide and enslavement.
Why isnt anyone talking about the HOstages? FREE THE HOSTAGES
Why should that take primacy when a whole population is being starved to death? Why are those 100+ endangered people so much more significant to you than the 2.2 million endangered people discussed here? It's a tough sell to ordinary people and polling shows.

100 “israeli’s” < 40,000 Palestinians
SHUT UP!!!!
You are heartless soul.
@@VeronicaSm282 War crime . Can't collective punish entire population for acts of few. They are following the same tactics as the Nazi. So much in common
the founding fathers of usa would be disgusted to see the state of their gov and actions today.
Why does this org even exist. Just replaces it with UNHCR
Is the US crazy ?
More than crazy
💯 agree
Who wants to see Biden gone and never seen again-/
I'd like to see him make one last video appearance, like Momar Gaddafi's final video, if you know what I mean.
One can only think that the US administration and Israel has got the same goals re Gaza and the West Bank.
It doesn’t take a genius that Hamas would be represented in UNRWA’s workforce, as there are 40,000 Hamas in Gaza.
So what if Hamas is in the workforce...After what has been unfolding before our eyes, can't you see that.the real terrorist is Israel? What about the funding Terrorist Israel has been getting from so many countries to drop bombs? UNWRA's mission is only feeding the destitude!
There are plenty of Aid agencies
The punishment doesn't fit the crime, if there is a crime. Israel lies. Excessive punishment. They do good work. Israel wants to starve people to death.
I am STUNNED that in 2024 the US is openly and very publicly supporting, defending and frankly, aiding and abetting Israel in committing a genocide and a famine of millions of people.
Inhuman
This is Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken doing . Both psycho paths.
Same. I mean, I knew Biden was gonna be a disappointment, but damn! He really plunged us straight into the sewer.
What about Iran supporting supporting terrorists, USA 🇺🇸 has a right to support israel
@@user-ty2yu1tk2i The US has a right to support Israel just like Hitler had the right to support Mussolini.
Who’s responsible for the tunnels under the UNRWA complex in Gaza?
This is disappointing, sad, and very grave news 😢
Simple solution Hamas needs to surrender, what are they going to gain by continuing to fight? Why don't Gaza people take back control and give up?
Germans did exactly the same thing to Leningrad in WW2.
Isreal needs to surrender and stop their crimes against humanity.
They’re not telling the whole story. 😒Free Israel. Prayers for them and Palestinians.
And US will agree??? “ Cat on the Wall”😩😩
Outrageous!!!😡😡😡
You liberals voted for this. 😂
The Gazan’s are experiencing critical shortages because of the actions Hamas.
It's a lie
Really? I didn’t realize Hamas was part of the IDF.
@@user-oblomovbig lie
So who controls the borders?
IDF
