@1:59 who are the armed individuals pilfering food deliveries allocated for the kids? You didn't say. Are there descriptions? This action is despicable. I've heard that hamas has been offering relief supplies similar to those stolen, for sale to starving individuals. Any truth to this?
You think female suffering is bad in Afghanistan, just wait until they can't #EscapeFromNewYork.
@0:45 are we somehow expected to believe this? Given your organisations conflicted entanglements and all it seems suspect?
Seemed like there was a little more context in some of the reads. Hard to do with time constraints. Thanks!
Agree that it is horrendous that aid workers are attacked, and this should never be. Problem is there are many partisans and enemy combatants allowed, or possibly encouraged, to hide among aid workers. Particularly within this particular 'aid' organisation.

In order to be successful in this actual objective, the UN must appear to struggle grasping at their always ever so slightly just out of reach publicly stated goals.

More compensation, more colleagues to do their work, more power to exercise over the
Believe everything the hamas embeds within UNRWA tell you. I do?

This "newz" podcast reminds me so much of the stereotypical misinformation scripted propaganda "newz" presentation scene characterized by some of the best movie depictions of a news presentation in a dystopian future. Thanks!
what is the use of united nations. Stop genocide in Gaza by occupiers
Seems like hamas might have more interest in killing Jews than aiding the folks that elected them? amirite?

Worrying about carbon emissions is as ridiculous as AI is artificial. So if championing the illusory monster of carbon emissions reduces the expansion of humankind enslaving machine faked intelligence, count me in.
Natural gas is a very clean heating and cooling source.
