ISRAEL OPENS EREZ CROSSING TO AID FOR FIRST TIME in northern Gaza, as video above shows trucks passing through border wall sealed shut since October 7.

Gazan authorities still say aid deliveries far less than what Washington and Tel Aviv claim, with the latter claiming an average of 300-400 trucks a day.

Head of #Gaza's Government Media Office Maarouf says average of 163 trucks a day only are passing through to Gaza, with at least 1,000 trucks needed to make up for dire lack of aid faced by 7 months of siege. Only 419 trucks entered north Gaza in all of April alone.

WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN WILL RETURN TO WORK IN #GAZA TOMORROW

WCK stopped all operations in Gaza after Israel killed 7 employees, but the work is set to resume once again.

#WCK Spokesperson:

“We will continue to bring as much food as possible into Gaza, by land, air or sea.

We had to make a decision - to stop feeding altogether during one of the worst hunger crises ever or to continue feeding knowing that aid workers and civilians were being killed.

We considered all the options, but ultimately, we decided to continue to feed and continue our mission.”

This Rabbi is charged with anti terrorism charges: This morning, seven rabbis and activists were arrested by Israeli police at the Gaza border as part of a delegation of thirty rabbis and other peace activists with Rabbis for Ceasefire from Israel and the United States who were attemping to bring food supplies into #Gaza through the Erez crossing.

The Passover Haggadah reads, “Let all who are hungry come and eat,” and teaches us that we must work for the freedom of all people. The Israeli government is enacting a famine on the people of Gaza. Forced starvation is just one of the many weapons of war that the Israeli state is using against the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

This group of rabbis and activists came to the Erez Border crossing on Passover carrying aid in coordination with UNRWA, an organization critical to providing international aid to avert famine and further catastrophe for the people in Gaza. The Israeli government has banned #UNRWA from operating in northern Gaza. Rabbis for Ceasefire is bringing food aid to demonstrate this dire need, to call for the opening of all border crossings to allow in aid, and to demand an end to the siege on Gaza.​​​​​​​

Food aid is essential but not sufficient. To save the lives of Palestinians on the verge of death by the Israeli government's policy of forced starvation and siege, there must also be sufficient infrastructure in place to safely supply and distribute food alongside medical care. Life for Palestinian people is impossible without a permanent #ceasefire and lifting of the siege on Gaza.

As Rabbi Brant Rosen says, "next year, may there be liberation from the river to the sea."

Israeli, US aid truck statistics are ‘a complete lie’: #Gaza media office

The government media office in Gaza says the total number of aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip on a daily basis ranges, on average, between 130 and 150 trucks.

In a press release, the media office said the Israeli “narrative” adopted by the United States that there are around 300 aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip daily “is a complete lie and a falsification of reality”.

The office said that the areas in northern Gaza are still suffering from a real food crisis and that the only way to stop the famine in northern Gaza and address the food crisis across the whole enclave is to open all crossings.

Since the start of April, no more than 2,800 trucks have entered the enclave, according to the media office.

“The occupation deliberately lies about the humanitarian reality inside the Gaza Strip, and has been promoting a false narrative for some time about improvements in the mechanism of bringing aid in and increasing the number of trucks entering the Strip,” the statement read.

“This was denied by the World Food Programme, when it announced last Thursday that only 392 aid trucks loaded with food had entered the Gaza Strip during the month of April.

The media office said its numbers were in line with those of the United Nations, which confirmed in a post on X that only 392 trucks loaded with food have arrived since the beginning of April.

For the first time after almost 6 months, the bakery in northern Gaza was able to open and bake bread for starving people there.

The amount of aid entering Gaza is barely enough to keep them alive, but Netanyahu and IDF seems to have erased the restrictions on incoming food trucks and a few of them actually reached the besieged northern Gaza.

Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot: Iran postponed the attack on Israel at the last moment due to American warnings, but the attack is still expected.

Everyone is trying to gain popularity from the horrible situation we are all in.. the suffering of 2 million besieged Palestinians wasn't getting much attention before, but now, it's like it doesn't even exist..

All "news" are about some BS made up stories someone published without a shred of evidence or actual knowledge about what is happening in Iran.

Don't let these stories take away your attention, over half a million Palestinians have nothing to eat. No clean water to drink and no access to medicine or sanitary items.

Their suffering is unimaginable. Their pain is unbearable and their lives are at imminent danger.

Fuck Israel and their fear of retaliation for the disgusting crime they committed. Push for unconditional and immediate seasefire and push Israel to allow humanitarian aid that is sitting and waiting right in front of their eyes in.

Don't let Biden get away with his complicity in this ongoing human catastrophe.

Don't get fooled by the empty words of European leaders who are not doing anything to pressure Israel to end this madness.

Surprise surprise: The Washington Post: according to American officials "Lack of clarity regarding the speed with which #Israel will fulfill its promise to open a port and border crossing to northern #Gaza".

Who could have imagined that the story of the brave #GenocideJoe forcing #Netanyahu to change his policy were not true or he later "changed his mind" and decided to ignore the demands of his sugar daddy.

This whole conflict is turning into the worst farce in modern history, sadly, it is real and people actually dying by the 1000s because of them.

After six months of Israeli blockade and deprivation, Father Youssef Asaad, the priest of the Holy Family Church in Gaza City, receives an apple and shares it with three people.

He says, "After six months of deprivation of vegetables and fruits, today I received the gift of a red apple. I ate some of it and shared the rest with three individuals."

People in northern Gaza are forced to survive on 245 calories a day

“Israel is making deliberate choices to starve civilians. Imagine what it is like, not only to be trying to survive on 245 calories day in, day out, but also having to watch your children or elderly relatives do the same. All whilst displaced … and under the constant threat of drones and bombs.”
Amitabh Behar, Oxfam International executive director

What happened to "civilized west'" support of law and order and enforcing the demands of #UN Security Council and #ICJ?

7 days have passed, Israel not only ignored the ruling, it has escalated their war crimes in both #Gaza and occupied West Bank.

They haven't allowed humanitarian aid, but murdered western volunteers feeding the starving palestinians.

#US hasn't pushed for ceasefire and release of the hostages, instead they have given billions of dollars worth of 2000 pound bombs and F-35 fighter jets to Israel.

#Canada hasn't stopped selling weapons to Israel despite them laying about it and ignoring the parliament ruling.

UK simply don't give a shit.
Neither does #France, #Germany, #Sweden, #Italy, #Denmark and other "civilized European" nations.

After global pressure and outcry against Israeli attacks against members of WCK that led to death of 7 members, Israeli government have officially apologied for the "mistake" and blamed the "accident" on Hamas.

This is another outrageous lie by IDF who targeted 3 different vehicles of WCK. Clearly marked by the group and their geo locations shared with Israeli military.

Do they really think we are stupid? That they accidentally attacked 3 vehicles from the same organization on 3 different locations by mistake?

This wasn't just another criminal action by IDF to prevent food distribution to starving Palestinians and to draw attention away from their horrible war crimes in and around #AlShifa_Hospital?

#GenocideJoe haa no morals: The UN security council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, a hostage release and large-scale delivery of food aid, was passed last Monday. By Friday, the #Washington Post was reporting on the latest consignment of billions of dollars worth of #US bombs and planes for Israel.

It's truly sickening to see people still defending this monster and act like he is any better than #Trump.

The genocide supporting maniac has shown his true face but that doesn't stop the cult of worship to give up on him and holding him accountable for complicity in ongoing genocide in #Gaza and daily war crimes in occupied West Bank and Golan heights.
