IDF: No famine in Gaza, but if UN keeps holding back 950 trucks, could be.
The IDF on Tuesday said that, despite global claims, there is still no famine in Gaza. However, the IDF said that the UN and international aid groups currently have a record 950 trucks sitting on the Gaza side of the border, which they are failing to bring to Gazans.
A top IDF official met with top UN officials on the issue on Tuesday and demanded to know how they could both accuse Israel of causing famine in Gaza - which has not yet happen, but which could happen in the near future if the UN continues to abandon its trucks - while at the same time leaving the aid trucks to sit without distributing the food.
According to the senior IDF official, the UN officials sat quietly for 20 seconds with no response. Eventually, one of them said they would make more of an effort to get the trucks moving again, the IDF reported.
Next, the IDF said that 30 trucks of aid were moved into Gaza on Tuesday, out of the 70 trucks approved.
