🧵Starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie (Part 3): UNRWA confirms entry of 11,360 food trucks matching COGAT numbers. UN WFP confirms busy food markets in Gaza even publishing food prices! UN's own data contradicts “intentional starvation” and famine. See sources & analysis: 1/9

COGAT published on March 22 a chart showing food trucks entering Gaza since start of war at 11,065 matching UNRWA's 11,360. Israel is not lying as often claimed. Tons of food since 10/7 is double the amount the UN WFP itself says is necessary to meet basic needs of Gazans. 2/

UNRWA website shows daily data for trucks entering Gaza, number of pallets, food (cheese, butter, corn, flour etc.) Small sample below; excel file has 136 rows of 2,733 pallets for one day. UN itself confirms widespread entry of all manner of food. 3/

This is just recent right? Only after world forced Israel to let in more food? No. Daily data for months shows more trucks into Gaza daily since 10/7 than pre-war. Here is sample data for Jan 31 (out of 161 rows of 3,333 pallets). Despite UN’s own data, famine lie continues. 4/

But no one can get food, right? Wrong. UN WFP actually issued a report in March showing the prices of food in Gaza. Food for sale – meaning it’s not a famine. WFP has been saying a famine is “imminent” for 5 months, now said supposed to happen by May. 5/

It should all be free and probably lots is, but Hamas & others steal aid and sell it. UN WFP says 1 Kg of potatoes goes for $2 and 50 Kg of flour for $50. Prices are dropping, see video. But lie continues that Israel is intentionally starving Gazans. 6/

So UNRWA confirms Israel’s stated numbers of food trucks; WFP’s own data confirms Israel has allowed in 2x food it says Gazans need since 10/7; WFP issues a price list for food markets. What else? Actual video evidence. See below. 7/

Here is earlier Part 1 thread evidencing that starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie, by showing that based on UN WFP’s own statistics, Israel has provided 2x the food necessary for Gaza since 10/7 and 5x recently. 8/

Here is earlier Part 2 thread evidencing that starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie, by showing that UN WFP’s own report admits famine is not present and only imminent by May in north & July in south. It has been imminent for months! END
