@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?

@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. This too is horrendous and should never be.
