Hamas and the UN are orchestrating a cynical “starvation” blood libel—feeding terrorists first, civilians last—while blaming Israel for a famine that doesn’t exist.
The great ‘Gaza starvation’ lie roared back to life last week—perfectly timed to coincide with Hamas blowing up the latest ceasefire talks. Like clockwork, the world’s media rushed to point fingers at Israel, dutifully amplifying Hamas’s propaganda while ignoring the fact that it was Hamas itself that guaranteed the war would continue.
This fiction unfolds against a backdrop of 90 million free meals—two million per day—delivered by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in recent weeks. And yet, according to the spin, Gazans are somehow hungrier than ever. The UN, meanwhile, lets its own aid rot in Gaza warehouses rather than feed the very people it claims are starving.
The UN’s Starvation Lie Machine
The myth is as baseless now as it was when OCHA head Tom Fletcher falsely claimed 14,000 babies would die of starvation in Gaza within 48 hours. Two days later, the number of such deaths was zero—but truth is irrelevant when the lie serves Hamas.
From the start, the UN has looked the other way as Hamas:
- Diverted humanitarian aid for terror tunnels longer than the London Underground.
- Looted aid trucks and seized food meant for civilians.
- Took over UNRWA, turning it into a de facto Hamas department.
The reality: the UN has fought harder to ensure Hamas gets fed than to ensure civilians in Gaza do.
Why the UN Hates the GHF
The GHF delivers food directly to Gazans—bypassing Hamas entirely—which cuts into Hamas’s profits from selling stolen aid at extortionate prices. Many Gazans were shocked to learn aid could actually be free, after 18 months of paying Hamas for stolen UN food.
Even The Washington Post has reported how Hamas profits off “free” aid—shaking down merchants for 20,000 shekels ($6,000) per truck, threatening their lives, and in some cases, killing drivers who refused to pay.
The looting hasn’t stopped. Just this week, the IDF released video evidence of Hamas stealing aid trucks—and photos of Hamas fighters enjoying fresh meat, vegetables, eggs, and cake.
As IDF Arabic Spokesman Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee put it:
“Starvation? Only on screens and for propaganda purposes. In reality, Hamas tunnels are stocked with food. The real victims scavenge for crumbs.”
950 Trucks of Rotting UN Aid
At the Kerem Shalom Crossing, 950 trucks of aid sit idle because the UN refuses to deliver them via any of the five safe routes offered by Israel. The GHF even offered to deliver them for free—but the UN said no.
Why? Because feeding Hamas is the goal. Feeding civilians is not.
The UN’s ‘Neutrality’ is a Fraud
The UN justifies this by claiming “neutrality.” But what is “neutral” about letting a genocidal terror group—responsible for mass murder, mass rape, and the October 7 massacre—decide who eats?
This isn’t neutrality. It’s complicity. The UN employs Hamas operatives, lets Hamas run its schools, and hosts officials like Francesca Albanese who openly deny Israel’s right to defend itself.
The Reality Israel’s Enemies Won’t Admit
A study by Eitan Fischberger proves that Israel has provided more food per capita to Gaza than any military has ever provided to an enemy population in modern warfare—381 kg per person per year.
For comparison: during the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, the UN provided just 130 kg per person per year.
War expert John Spencer is blunt:
“There is no historical precedent for a military providing this level of direct aid to an enemy population.”
The Truth
The UN’s Gaza policy is simple:
- Feed Hamas first, feed civilians last.
- Fund Hamas’s war machine, not Gaza’s survival.
- Enable a second October 7, rather than end the war.
The “starvation crisis” is a blood libel—a weapon of war designed to demonize Israel, shield Hamas, and pave the way for the next massacre.
