Natali Dadon’s explosive Gaza visit exposes mountains of life-saving aid decaying in the heat as UN agencies fail to distribute it.
Israeli journalist Natali Dadon has ignited a storm of controversy after entering the Gaza Strip this weekend on a special media and diplomatic tour organized by COGAT (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories). The mission’s purpose: to lay bare the grim reality of humanitarian aid transfers — and the shocking delays that leave desperate civilians without essentials.
What Dadon found was nothing short of infuriating. Pallets of food, baby formula, critical medicines, hygiene products, pasta, and clothing lay abandoned under the blazing sun — some still neatly stacked, others scattered on the ground — while residents go without.
Her damning message targeted UN agencies directly:
“Israel meets every demand of international law and delivers the aid to Gaza, but the UN simply doesn’t coordinate collection and distribution. While they fail to do their job, the aid rots in the sun — and families in Israel fight for their lives.”
Dadon, visibly shaken by the sight, added:
“With my own eyes, I saw the belittlement. Entire wagons could be filled with food and medicine. These are life-saving supplies in huge quantities — yet they sit here, untouched, unused.”
The footage and testimony from Dadon’s visit have reignited the debate over UN efficiency in Gaza, highlighting what critics call a humanitarian crisis caused not by lack of aid, but by shocking mismanagement.
