“The U.N. and so many other aid organizations have been doing humanitarian relief work in the [Gaza] Strip for a long time. They know how to operate in these situations. They have experienced staff, and that’s just been wiped out,” said @rebeccajaynewolfe.bsky.social
Netanyahu recently claimed that there is "no starvation in Gaza." This is contradicted by data and other evidence. Caroline Willemen, an MSF project coordinator in Gaza City, told me what she's been seeing is "apocalyptic" and "completely dystopian." foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/08/g...

Opinion | The U.S. Must Change Course on Gaza Today
Global leaders, and especially the U.S. government, must understand we cannot save lives in Gaza under these conditions.
