by US launched GHF. Hamas hates GHF because it gets food
to people without it being looted by Hamas. Over 100 MILLION
meals served in 2 months.
Haifa is on the "front line" in any action in the north but this blog looks at life in the shadow of danger to all of Israel

On July 23rd the BBC News website
published a report by David Gritten which was originally headlined “More than
100 humanitarian groups warn of mass starvation in Gaza”, with readers told
that:
“More than 100 international aid
organisations and human rights groups are warning of mass starvation in Gaza
and pressing for governments to take action.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF),
Save the Children and Oxfam are among the signatories of a joint statement that
says their colleagues and the people they serve are “wasting away”.
It calls for an immediate
ceasefire, the opening of all border crossings, and the free flow of aid led by
the UN.”
These reports include the following

The good news is that Osama
al-Raqab’s condition has since improved. See above
The bad news is that the BBC World
Service promoted a nearly two-month-old photograph without informing its
millions of Spanish and Portuguese speaking readers of its subject’s medical
background, or of the rest of his story, in order to promote its chosen
“widespread famine” narrative.
Yasser Abu Shabab, a clan leader who has taken it upon himself to take over from Hamas in eastern Rafah writes: For thousands of Gazans in eastern Rafah, the war is already over. This is how all of Gaza should be.
As head of the armed militia fighting Hamas
and based in Rafah, he writes in an article for the American Wall Street Journal:
While most Gazans are still suffering as the war between
Israel and Hamas continues, the situation is different for thousands of people
in eastern Rafah - for them, the war is already over.
In this area, there are no casualties from airstrikes. There
is no overcrowding at aid distribution points. There is no fear that Hamas will
plant explosives in homes. People can sleep peacefully without fearing they
won’t survive another day.
This should not be the exception - it can be the reality for
all of Gaza’s residents. Most Gazans do not want Hamas rule, but despite their
hatred for Hamas, they still fear it. Following protests earlier this year,
some demonstrators were killed, tortured, and disappeared.
We have received requests from many families who want to move to eastern Rafah. We are ready to take responsibility for all of Rafah. Within a few short months, about 600,000 people - roughly a third of Gaza’s population - could be living outside the conflict zone.
Following the success in Rafah, independent zones could be
established in other places as well.
We need three things:
1. Financial support
2. Humanitarian aid and infrastructure for the population
3. Safe corridors to these areas
In a short time, most of Gaza could transform from a
battlefield into communities that can recover and move forward.
This is the only path to ending this conflict.
