When is an "aid project" not actually an aid project?
Well, recruiting staff through an anti-Islam biker gang is usually a pretty clear tell.
Beyond the outright insanity of this, it also reveals something important about the agenda behind the GHF. 🧵

At first blush this story almost seems too outlandish to be real. Full disclosure - I was skeptical when I first hear these rumblings a few months ago.
But BBC brings the receipts. And the receipts are flat-out nuts (this nugget about gang leader Johnny Mulford is priceless).

Who is Mulford, the lead GHF security subcontractor?
He's a biker gang leader who was formerly debarred by the Pentagon for "bribery, larceny, and making false official statements" related to contract kickbacks.
Not who you'd want near an aid project.

All week the Israeli govt has mounted a major PR push against @theIPCinfo's Gaza famine declaration.
The @IsraelMFA pushback reveals a basic ignorance (perhaps willful?) of how famines work and how the IPC declares them.
Today the IPC responded. Let's take a look. 🧵

The GoI's claim on mortality analysis completely ignores actual IPC guidance & analysis.
IDF restrictions prevent a comprehensive mortality survey in Gaza.
So the IPC was very up-front that it used an inference approach, and thus declared famine "with reasonable evidence."

Thread incoming on famines & and mortality data.
tl;dr: the Gaza declaration rests on inferred mortality b/c it's impossible to collect good mortality data.
*just like all 3 other famine declarations since 2011*
Meaning no "lowering the bar" for Gaza.

A famine declaration assesses food deprivation, malnutrition, and mortality.
In Gaza the food deprivation metric has been clearly met for quite a while.
The malnutrition assessment is solid too (per my earlier threads).
But there is limited data on deaths. So, what to do?

Famine analyses OFTEN encounter incomplete mortality & other data.
Almost invariably, famine risk arises in context where conflict and political obstacles prevent comprehensive data collection.
In Gaza, mortality data is very poor outside of trauma deaths.

I'm getting a lot of questions about this (false) claim, so let's do a wonky deep dive on how willfully wrong @Israel is on this.
Right off the top: this is the EXACT SAME THRESHOLD that was used in the Sudan famine declaration last year.
Not any lowering of the bar for Gaza.

The MUAC threshold is used in cases like Sudan or Gaza where access is limited and full weight-for-height studies are not feasible.
Here is the relevant portion of the Dec 2024 famine analysis for Sudan, using the same MUAC >15% threshold. ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/user…

IPC guidance very explicitly allows for these two approaches to assessing Global Acute Malnutrition in a population:
- weight-for-height analysis
and
- mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) screening
MUAC is used when access constraints prevent a full weight-for-height survey.

The Famine Review Committee conclusion on famine is compelling (more on that below).
Principal responsibility lies with Israeli aid obstruction - but failure of US & Europe to use *any* real leverage on this is also stunning.

The evidence for a declaration is persuasive.
There has been evidence of severe food deprivation going back to last year, mainly due to Israeli restrictions.
It got exponentially worse from March '25 onward, after Israel instituted an aid blockade that it has yet to fully lift.

Malnutrition evidence is also solid, notwithstanding the armchair experts who misread the IPC thresholds.
Say it with me: a MUAC level over 15% is IPC famine territory.
Moreover the rate is continuing to rise to even grimmer levels.

Why it’s BS: The nutritional needs of growing children make them far more vulnerable to starvation than adults. They invariably starve earlier.

• Beef tallow, rendered suet from a cow, is known to contain high levels of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), which can also be found in coconut oil and dairy products.

Foods such as wild blueberries and carrots are praised for their high levels of antioxidants, which have been shown to protect the human body from the free radicals linked to many chronic health conditions.
By contrast, the PUFAs found in seed oils are "particularly susceptible to oxidative damage" and produce "aldehydes," which "exert a range of toxicological effects," during the frying process.

By the time data can be collected proving the presence of famine conditions, those conditions have invariably been in place for some time.

Netanyahu has used aid diversion claims as pretext for massive obstruction of aid to Gaza.
Now we learn the IDF had briefed his team that these claims were false (as aid groups have long argued).
This constitutes further evidence he is using starvation as a weapon of war.

US envoy David Satterfield - a savvy, hard-nosed diplomat and no one's idea of a bleeding heart - has consistently said the same.
As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality.

This wasn't just due to its health work but also its development support for economies, people, and institutions that transitioned numerous countries off of aid.
