Friday Gaza: “at least 44 of the 156 incidents where aid supplies were reported stolen or lost were “either directly or indirectly” due to Israeli military actions”

/1 Comment/in /by

On Friday there was an extreme dearth of information on events. Grok says the Gaza Health Ministry has not issued a statement on the day (in fact, its English language website https://www.moh.gov.ps/portal/en/ appears blocked). Aljazeera‘s latest reports https://archive.is/hI6sW “sources at hospitals” saying at least 38 were killed by Israeli attacks today. A number of starvation deaths are also reported. Reuters had an important […]

Gaza Thursday: Israel is losing the US MSM over Palestinian starvation

/3 Comments/in /by

News on Thursday’s events in Gaza is very difficult to find. The US MSM seems silent. Turkey’s Anadolu Ajansı News Agency reports the Gaza Health Ministry said “that 89 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 453 people were injured” https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/gaza-death-t*oll-surges-to-over-59-500-as-israel-continues-genocidal-war-on-palestinians/3641216 Aljazeera in its closing wrap https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/7/24/live-hamas-submits-gaza-truce-response-as-israel-continues-deadly-assault says *”The number of people killed in […]

Wednesday in Gaza: Some media catching on to the horror of starvation

/in /by

There seems to be a total absence of US MSM reports on Wednesday what actually happened in Gaza. A lot did. The UK’s Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jul/22/israel-gaza-war-latest-live-news-updates reports ‘ “at least 72 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire and military strikes in the past 24 hours, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports.” Turkey’s Anadolu Ajansi News Agency https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/children-pregnant-woman-among-53-killed-in-israeli-attacks-on-gaza/3639175 reports ‘at least 53 dead’ with precise […]

Monday in Gaza: .“Male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated on the spot and screened at gunpoint,” the U.N. health agency said “

/in /by

On Monday in Gaza, as if ordered (which they probably were) the IDF suddenly stopped the mass culling of Palestinians trying to get food from food distribution points. There were scatted reports of a few deaths, but not the scores reported daily for many weeks. I think this was probably due to the unprecedented attention […]

Sunday in Gaza: Starvation and more mass murder

/in /by

Sunday in Gaza saw unrelenting killing. NPR‘s story of 100 dead, based an AP‘s report https://www.npr.org/2025/07/20/nx-s1-5474123/100-killed-seeking-aid-gaza-palestinian stresses what appears to be an IDF attack on a UN convoy: “…near the Israeli border area of Zikim,…at least 81 Palestinians were killed as they tried to grab sacks of flour from U.N. World Food Programme trucks entering from Israel… the […]

Saturday in Gaza: “An exceptionally bloody Saturday”

/in /by

An exceptionally bloody Saturday in Gaza (95 dead – Haaretz) began early. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)’s Distribution Centers open at 6AM (11PM EDT) and Palestinians (who often have to walk long distances) muster beforehand Today the IDF opened fire at 2 Centers, jolting the US MSM into actually reporting! The NBC version of AP‘s report https://www.nbcnews.com/world/gaza/palestinians-shot-dead-food-aid-rcna219762 says “at least” 32 […]
