MSF published a Q&A justifying its refusal to share its local staff lists.

Let's break down some of the claims: THREAD 🧵1/5

MSF actually admits to providing payments to the families of MSF workers killed in Gaza. These include the families of Fadi Al-Wadiya, a PIJ rocket maker, and Nasser Hamdi Al-Shalfouh, a Hamas sniper.

Humanitarian work should not fund terror. There were no restrictions on humanitarian aid into Gaza. If MSF now compares itself to UNRWA, they might have something to hide regarding their local staff’s involvement with terrorism, as UNRWA did.

Transparency on personnel and operations is essential for genuine humanitarian work.

Another week, another OCHA report filled with data manipulation, twisted facts and omitting important context, aiming to show a skewed and partial picture.

Let's break it down🧵🧵🧵
👇

1. OCHA mentions that cooked meal supply went down 70%, with 8 kitchen operating. What OCHA 'forgot' to mention is that over 80% of the Gaza city population moved south, and so new kitchens opened to feed the population who moved to the south.
》》》

Top 3 of the latest UN claims against Israel, and the reality: 🧵

1. Israel counts half full trucks as full.

Fact check: FALSE

All trucks are fully loaded when they arrive for inspection at the crossing and are counted as such. COGAT also tracks the weight of the trucks.
》 2. Israel denies or impedes humanitarian aid convoys within Gaza for no reason.

Fact check: FALSE

During September alone, out of hundreds of coordination requests, 81% were approved.

》

Throughout the war and long before it, Hamas exploited @UNRWA infrastructure. The intelligence gathered shows Hamas systematically uses UNRWA's vehicles, warehouses, and even the agency's headquarters, as headquarters, accommodations, and weapons depots.

🧵 of examples:

1/6👇 A document from Feb. 22' named "The 2022 Deployment Plan of the Third Battalion,” had a list of each operative's position, his weapon and the number of soldiers. The list had 2 @UNRWA schools: The Al-ris and the Al-Zahraa' schools, which contained 8 operatives with weapons.

Hamas uses and abuses hospitals: Gazans speak.

Hamas exploitation of hospitals is a recurring, documented thing. 🧵

The exploitation of hospitals by Hamas is a grave violation of international humanitarian law.

These are not isolated incidents.

We've seen this pattern again and again: Hamas uses medical facilities like Shifa, Nasser, and others as command centers, weapons storage, and hideouts for terrorists.

Since the start of the war and over the last few months, a series of blatant falshoods are spread regarding supposed banning of essential humanitarian items into Gaza. It’s time to set the records straight.

Read this thread and repost🧵

A new @theIPCinfo publication just dropped. Read this thread if you heard famine is imminent in northern Gaza:

🧵🧵🧵

Firstly: to date, all projections by the IPC have proven incorrect and inconsistent with the situation on the ground, with the IPC reports consistently predicting deterioration and then reporting improvement. Unfortunately, this is because the researchers continue to rely on partial, biased data and superficial sources with vested interests.

1/15》 The IPC reports have been systematically based on organizations with vested interests and partial, inaccurate knowledge, significantly undermining the document's credibility.

Israel published detailed documents on the factual and methodological problems in the two previous reports. No response was ever given.
2/15》》》

IPC food security snapshot publication: what you need to know🧵🧵🧵

Bottom line: Although the IPC's reports on Gaza were characterized by bias and methodological failures (as explained in detail in the response documents published on the @IsraelMFA website), the new report, like its predecessor from June, clearly points to an improving trend in the food security situation in Gaza.

1》 This is, in fact, the first time since the start of the war that the IPC reports on a decline in percentage of Gaza Strip residents classified at phase 3 (“Crisis”) or above.
Moreover, a significant decline in the population classified at phase 5 (“Catastrophe”) was also reported in relation to the three preceding reports.

This will not stop those parading around screaming "there is a famine in Gaza" to continue spreading their lies.

This improvement represents, among other factors, the various measures Israel took to facilitate more than adequate humanitarian aid. This is despite the logistics constraints the UN aid agencies operate under, and the funneling of aid by Hamas.
2》

So many lies and falshoods, where should we begin? Let's break it down:
🧵🧵 🧵

Claim: "Israel blocks up to 83% of food aid to Gaza."

Fact: This is false. Over 1 MILLION tons of aid on over 51,000 trucks entered Gaza since the start of the war. Over 37,000 tons entered in September alone. Only 467 trucks (less than 1%) were denied after security inspection due to serious security reasons regarding dual-use items that Hamas could exploit.
1》 Claim: "65% of required insulin and 50% of blood supplies unavailable."

Fact: We facilitate a steady supply of medical aid, including insulin and blood units, into Gaza. Challenges arise from Hamas's diversion of medical resources, not supply issues. Israel continues to facilitate entry of as much humanitarian aid as possible according to the request of the international organization and partners.

POLIO UPDATE 👇
The Polio vaccination campaign for children in Gaza will be starting tomorrow, Sunday.

As part of the vaccination campaign, international orgs in Gaza will work to vaccinate hundreds of thousands of children against polio at three locations as follows: The Polio vaccination campaign will take place in coordination with COGAT and the @IDF, and will work to ensure that the population can safely reach medical centers where the vaccinations will be administered.

In preparation for the campaign, COGAT and the international organizations conducted joint assessments, including the import of vaccines, medical and logistical equipment, refrigeration units for vaccine storage and transportation, the entry of polio-specialized medical teams into Gaza, marking vaccination areas in the operational systems, and more.

Polio in Gaza: 🧵 1/6

💉 95%+ Gazans are immunized against polio

Five myths and truths about aid going into Gaza🧵

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 1
Israel does not allow significant distribution of goods through Kerem Shalom crossing.

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 👇 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵
Israel encourages as much aid as possible to go into Gaza. To assist the @UN agencies with the collection and distribution, additional humanitarian routes and daily humanitarian pauses have been established to facilitate aid distribution.

🧵🧵🧵
1/8 Israel has continuously enhanced its humanitarian efforts to increase aid into Gaza, spearheading initiatives that significantly improve conditions in both northern and southern Gaza. while addressing security concerns related to Hamas.
》》》 2/8 In recent weeks, close to 100 food aid trucks traveled to northern Gaza daily, in coordination with the int'l community, including @UN agencies operating in Gaza.

🧵Important thread: IPC report🧵
The IPC has recently released a report presenting an image of hunger in Gaza.
This report does not represent the current situation in Gaza in regards to food security and availability.
Why?
1/6 Over the last few weeks, during the time this report was compiled, significant new initiatives were implemented that improved the humanitarian situation, particularly in northern Gaza. The report does not accurately reflect that and is outdated even before publication.
