In reply to the discussion: UN says 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours under Israeli aid blockade [View all]AloeVera
(3,699 posts)10. Nothing in the U.S. MSM.
There is a big ocean to cross, after all...
Here's some more details - from another UK paper:
"...I want to save as many as these 14,000 babies as we can in the next 48 hours," he said, adding the UN needed to flood the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid.
Mr Fletcher continued: We get impeded at every point. But we'll load those up with that baby food, and our people will run those risks.
Mr Fletcher said it was utterly chilling number, and the agency faced significant issues trying to reach them but they would keep going.
It will be frustrating, we will be impeded and run huge risks. But I don't see a better idea than getting that baby food in," he said.

God speed to the humanitarians. We know the risks they run, and the obstacles put in their way, trying to get food to starving Palestinians.

OP
I am sorry, I was referring to the desire to walk the Palestinians to Libya.

My mother is native American (full blooded Haudenosaunee) and this is as insulting to me as calling Israelis nazis.

I hope that they realize that food is not an instant cure for a starving person. Only hospitals can help.
