Israel the victim? Israel isn't climbing on trucks, dude. Inspecting them or not isn't going to change that. Who said that? Are you suffering from hallucinations?

As a result of Israel's blockade, Gaza faces shortages of fuel, food, medication, water, and medical supplies.[522][524] The blockade resulted in a 90% drop in electricity availability, impacting hospital power supplies, sewage plants, and shutting down desalination plants that provide drinking water.[525] According to WHO, 27 out of 35 hospitals in Gaza were shut down by 23 November 2023.[526] Human Rights Watch similarly found that Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war by deliberately denying access to food and water.[573] On 16 January 2024, UN experts accused Israel of "destroying Gaza's food system and using food as a weapon against the Palestinian people".[574] The United Nations has warned that a collapse of social order could result from the intense hunger among Palestinians

The United Nations humanitarian office said on Friday that Israeli authorities were systematically denying it access to northern Gaza to deliver aid and this had significantly hindered the humanitarian operation there.

Since the start of hostilities, aid deliveries to northern Gaza have been limited, and the area was cut off altogether from external aid for weeks earlier in the conflict. De Domenico said Israel was concerned about fuel deliveries and other supplies that could be diverted to Hamas, and had been reluctant to authorise aid deliveries to hospitals in north Gaza. "In particular, they have been very systematic in not allowing us to support hospitals, which is something that is reaching a level of inhumanity that, for me, is beyond comprehension," he said.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich confirmed on Tuesday night that he was blocking shipments of flour from being transferred into the Gaza Strip in an attempt to stop it from reaching UNRWA, and thence Hamas.

Imagine how many bombs Hamas can do with all this flour. Damn, good thing they stopped the shipment, right, better to starve those pesky Palestinian children then to feed them as they might turn up future terrorists. /s

Damn, so many hallucinating people and media reports, right? This civil order collapse or the famine in north of Gaza should not have anything to do with Israel! /s
