From Aid to Agony: Why Is Israel Sabotaging the Only Lifeline Left in Gaza?



By Malik Mukhtar.

On May 15, seven-year-old Miran Mohammad was simply hoping for a bite of bread. A few moments later, her world collapsed—literally. An Israeli airstrike struck her home in Beit Lahia, crushing her tiny legs and her future beneath the rubble. She is just one of 17,000 children reportedly killed or wounded in Gaza since this war began. But her story is not just about bombs—it's about bureaucracy, control, and a deliberate policy that turns food into a weapon.

And now, with famine looming, a question screams through the smoke:

Why did Israel dismantle a successful, transparent U.N.-led humanitarian aid system—and replace it with chaos?

1. A Lifeline Destroyed

Until recently, UNICEF and other U.N. agencies were operating more than 400 aid distribution points across Gaza. These included door-to-door deliveries to displaced and starving families. Aid was registered, tracked, and accompanied to its destination. No system is perfect—but this one worked. It got baby formula into infants’ mouths. It put medicine in the hands of mothers. It fed the hungry.

Then Israel said Hamas was looting supplies and proposed a "solution": shut down the entire U.N. operation.

2. Enter the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—A Disaster by Design

Israel's replacement? A new system controlled by an organization called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), backed by private contractors and protected by Israeli soldiers. The setup is simple and brutal:

  • Only 60 trucks per day—one-tenth the volume during the last ceasefire.
  • A handful of distribution points, forcing civilians to travel across battle-scarred streets.
  • Aid boxes barely adequate for survival—let alone recovery.

The result? Stampedes. Chaos. Death. This is not aid. It’s a cruel performance of control.

And even that crumbles under scrutiny: Jake Wood, head of GHF, resigned after public outcry and humanitarian criticism of its ineffectiveness. What does that tell us?

“The new mechanism is incompatible with humanitarian principles… and would likely doom Gaza’s children to more suffering and death.”
Catherine Russell, Executive Director, UNICEF

3. Food as a Weapon, Civilians as Collateral

Israel justifies this policy shift by claiming Hamas steals aid. But evidence is scarce, and even if diversion occurred, the U.N. had already implemented tracking and secure distribution methods. So why override it?

Many believe the reason is darker: to control the flow of aid, to regulate suffering, and to weaponize starvation.

As multiple rights groups have noted, Israel has long managed food entry into Gaza to meet “calculated minimums.” That’s not relief. That’s siege. It is militarized humanitarianism—dehumanizing and unlawful.

4. Where Are We Headed? What Hope Remains?

The answer cannot be this: continued chaos, starvation, and the abandonment of Gaza’s children. The only path forward is one already known and proven:

  • Restore the U.N.-led system.
  • Allow sustained and safe access across all crossings.
  • Respect humanitarian law.
  • Agree to a ceasefire.

Until then, Gaza’s children will continue to die—not just from airstrikes, but from hunger, thirst, and deliberate policy.

We must ask:

  • Who benefits from the failure of aid?
  • Who profits from the illusion of control while babies starve?
  • And why is the world still silent?

Miran wanted a piece of bread.

She got rubble and a lifetime of pain.

Let that haunt every decision-maker, every leader, and every complicit silence.

๐Ÿ’” One Eye for Gaza: Hannah Thomas and the Price of Speaking Truth

๐Ÿ–‹️ By Malik Mukhtar ๐Ÿ“ ainnbeen.blogspot.com | ๐Ÿ—“️ June 29, 2025 She stood on the pavement—Hannah Thomas, lawyer, activist, former Greens candidate. She stood—holding no weapon, only a banner and a conscience. She stood—outside a factory that allegedly helps plate the steel for F-35 jets now raining hell on Gaza. And for that—Australian police slammed her to the ground. Now, she may never see from her right eye again. Let that sentence burn into your mind: “She may lose her sight—for standing against genocide.” ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ In Gaza, Eyes Are Lost Forever In Gaza, there are no surgeons left for eyes. Eyes are buried beneath concrete. Eyes were starved shut. Eyes were blinded by phosphorus, smoke, dust. Children in Gaza have forgotten what it means to look up without fear. And still, the bombs fall. From October 7, 2023 to now, tens of thousands dead—many torn apart by American-made weapons, polished and prepped by foreign contractors. The livestream genocide has not stopped. The...

๐Ÿ•ฏ️ The Day Tel Aviv Trembled: Iran’s Missiles and the Crumbling Illusion of Invincibility

  By ainnbeen.blogspot.com For decades, Israel projected an image of invulnerability— a fortress powered by American billions , state-of-the-art missile defenses, and a myth of unmatched military precision. But in a chilling shift, that illusion is cracking. As Iranian missiles rained down on Tel Aviv, not through proxies but directly from Tehran, the world witnessed what was once unthinkable: the heart of Israel under direct attack, air-raid sirens wailing , embassies shuttered , and diplomats fleeing. This isn’t just a military development —it’s a political earthquake . And it exposes deep fractures in Israel’s defense doctrine, regional strategy, and perhaps most importantly —its belief that it could strike without consequence. ๐Ÿ”ฅ 1. Iranian Missiles Hit Tel Aviv: The Strike That Shattered Complacency In what appears to be retaliation for Israel’s continuous sabotage campaigns — nuclear facility strikes , assassinations of IRGC commanders — Iran unleashed a salvo...

  ๐Ÿ›ก️ Israel’s Iron Dome May Hold—But for How Long? As Iran expands its missile arsenal with supersonic and hypersonic capabilities, Israel’s once-famed air defense now faces a triple crisis: strategic, economic, and societal . While the world watches air battles unfold in the skies, the deeper vulnerabilities lie beneath—in the nation's fatigued population, overstretched military, and fragile economic base. ๐Ÿšจ Strategic Threat: The Iranian Hypersonic Surge Iran reportedly maintains over 3,000 ballistic missiles , including: Fattah-1 & Fattah-2 : Hypersonic glide vehicles (Mach 13–15+).

  By Ainnbeen.blogspot.com Welcome to the Middle East’s longest-running tragicomedy: " The Chosen Puppet Show." From 1948 to 2025 , it’s been a masterclass in manipulation. But don’t take my word for it—just ask Israel’s most recent “ambassador” to Washington, Mike Huckabee , who now speaks not just for Israel, but apparently for God Himself. Yes, you read that right. In a message that sounds more like a Sunday sermon than a diplomatic dispatch, Huckabee called Trump “ the most consequential president in a century – maybe ever.” And why? Because he’s listening to “the voice of God”...on Israel policy . Oh, we’re doing this again. Because when Israel wants billions in weapons, moral cover for war crimes, or a fresh round of sanctions against whichever Muslim country is next on the hit list—there’s always a “divinely inspired” American president standing by. Let’s rewind a bit. ๐ŸŽฌ Scene One: The Truman Trick In 1948, President Harry Truman recognized Israel eleven...
