At least 25 Paleostinians were reported to have been killed in Israeli

KABOOM!...
s across the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
Strip on Tuesday morning, according to unnamed medical sources cited by Paleostinian media as Israel’s Gaza City offensive loomed and aid groups stepped up efforts to get food to Gazooks.
The tolls cited by Paleostinian media were not verified, and there was no comment from Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...authorities in the Strip. The Israel Defense Forces did not comment on the reports, but said it was looking into the cases.
In one instance, a dronezap overnight in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah was said to have hit a tent housing displaced people, killing five. Among the dead were a 1-year-old, two children ages 12 and 13, and two adults.
A separate strike in Deir al-Balah early Tuesday morning killed five people, according to Paleostinian media.
Another eight people were said to have been killed in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
SHIP LOADED WITH AID APPROACHES ASHDOD PORT
Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Irene was indignant at the thought of doing such a thing without benefit of clergy...
the international community was keeping up its push on Tuesday to flood the Strip with as much humanitarian aid
as possible, as a ship loaded with 1,200 tons of food supplies bound for Gaza approached the port of Ashdod in southern Israel.Oversupply drives down the monetary value of the Hamas cache, and makes donor countries and UN-linked NGOs feel good about wasting their money while keeping them mostly out from underfoot of the IDF, which can get on with clearing out the bad guys and their weapons.
The Panamanian-flagged vessel was loaded with 52 containers carrying food aid such as pasta, rice, baby food and canned goods.Israeli customs officials had screened the aid at the Cypriot port of Limassol, from where the ship departed on Monday.
Some 700 tons of aid was provided by Cyprus, purchased with money donated by the United Arab Emirates to the so-called Amalthea Fund, set up last year for donors to help with seaborne aid.
The rest came from Italia, the Maltese government, a Catholic religious order in Malta, and the Kuwaiti nongovernmental organization Al Salam Association.
"The situation is beyond dire," Cyprus Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
Cyprus was the staging area last year for 22,000 tons of aid delivered by ship directly to Gaza through a pier operated by the international charity World Central Kitchen and a US military-run docking facility known as the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore system.
By late July 2024, aid groups pulled out of the project, ending a mission plagued by repeated weather and security problems that limited how much food and other emergency supplies could get to those in need.
Shipborne deliveries can bring much larger quantities of aid into Gaza than the air drops that several nations have carried out since Israel allowed them to resume on July 27 under immense international pressure.
MOST OF THE AID TO THE TERRITORY ARRIVES VIA TRUCKS.
The Cypriot Foreign Ministry said Tuesday’s mission was led by the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
but was a coordinated effort — once offloaded in Ashdod, UN employees would arrange for the aid to be trucked to storage areas and food stations operated by the World Central Kitchen. The charity, run by celebrity chef José Andrés, is widely trusted in the battered territory.
Weren’t some of their people outed as Hamasniks at one point?
"The contribution of everyone involved is crucial and their commitment incredible," Kombos said.On Monday, some 370 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, COGAT said.
According to COGAT, about 350 trucks’ worth of aid were also collected by the United Nations and other international organizations from the Gaza side of the crossings on Monday to be distributed.
"The contents of hundreds of trucks are still awaiting collection on the Gaza side of the crossings," COGAT said.
Another 180 pallets of aid — about 6-9 trucks’ worth — were airdropped by Jordan, the UAE, Germany, Belgium, Italia, La Belle France, the Netherlands, Singapore, and Indonesia in Gaza on Monday, according to the IDF. Each pallet has about one ton of food.
Similar amounts of aid deliveries have been reported daily for approximately the past week.
GHF TRIES TO CREATE ORDER OUT OF CHAOS
In addition to the supplies being trucked into Gaza from Israel, the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced on Sunday that it was launching a new system to enable families to reserve a box of aid in advance, as it tries to reduce the scenes of utter chaos at its aid distribution sites.
To date, aid has been distributed on a first-come-first serve basis, benefiting younger, healthier men who are able to weather the long, dangerous trek through IDF lines to reach GHF distribution sites. GHF has tried to alleviate the inequity by establishing women’s-only distribution times, but more vulnerable populations continued to be neglected.
Under the new system, GHF’s local Paleostinian staff will invite beneficiaries to participate. Those who opt in will have their photo taken and receive an ID card with a unique number on it. Beneficiaries will also have the option of creating an online profile where they can input information such as household size. Participants will then have their designated box of food set aside for them, eliminating the need to partake in the daily rush for aid.
The system will also enable GHF to directly communicate with participants regarding distribution times and other relevant updates, it said.
GHF stressed that all data would be securely stored and never shared, in an attempt to alleviate the concerns of Gaza’s civilians that their information would be shared with Israeli authorities, with whom the aid organization closely coordinates.
The new initiative is voluntary and will operate in parallel to the existing first-come-first-served system, GHF said.
The aid group said it had launched a pilot of the initiative on Sunday with 350 participants at one of its Rafah distribution centers and that it was planning to scale it up in the coming weeks.
Experts have long argued that a registration process for GHF aid recipients was essential, as the free-for-all, chaotic scenes at distribution sites have seen boxes snatched within minutes, with no way to determine who was benefiting from the aid.
"It has always been our plan to offer a way for families to reserve aid in advance and guarantee access, just as other aid organizations do," said GHF executive director John Acree of the new plan.
"Until now, however, conditions on the ground have made implementation of such a program impossible. But with more aid flowing into Gaza and GHF’s deliveries helping stabilize food availability, conditions are improving."
Still, GHF is only able to serve a small fraction of Gaza’s population of roughly two million, as it is currently operating three sites in the entire Strip. Israeli and US officials have indicated that they plan to scale up GHF’s operations, but aid from other international organizations amounts to the bulk of assistance feeding Gazooks.
On top of food supplies, COGAT said on Sunday that it would renew the supply of tents and shelter equipment to Gaza, ahead of plans by the military to evacuate the civilian population of Gaza City.
The IDF is currently carrying out an operation in the Zeitoun neighborhood on the outskirts of the city, where the Hamas-run civil defense agency said residents had little to no access to food and water amid the heavy bombardment.
The front man for the civil defense, Mahmud Bassal, said conditions in Zeitoun were rapidly deteriorating, and that the majority of the roughly 50,000 people there were lacking "the basic necessities of life."
Israel strongly denies limiting aid supplies and accuses Hamas of exploiting deliveries to boost its military capabilities.
