While Israel continues killing and destruction, Arab and Western allies help conceal their collective complicity and failure through farcical and meaningless aid airdrop shows, in ceaseless attempts to humiliate our steadfast people and invent methods of horror that push them into the trap of inevitable death in their quest for survival and being. Stop the starvation of northern Gaza and the farce of airdrops.

The Gazan health ministry said in a statement that more than 100 people were killed and more than 700 injured in a massacre.

The Israeli official acknowledged that troops had opened fire, but said most of the people had been killed or injured in a stampede.

UPDATE 3:

As soon as people approached incoming trucks carrying food aid, they were shot at. There were attack drones in the sky. There was also fire from naval forces and armoured vehicles in the vicinity.

All at once, these military forces fired at a group of people who were hungry, traumatised and displaced. People who were just trying to get their hands on whatever they could to feed their families and stay alive.

There are still injured people left on the road.

UPDATE 2:

The death toll has risen to at least 104 Palestinians killed and 760 injured from the early morning attack in Gaza City, Gazas Health Ministry has said.

UPDATE:

Israeli troops opened fire on a group of Palestinian aid-seekers in Gaza City who dangerously approached them, according to an Israeli military official quoted by Israeli media.

At least 81 Palestinians were killed and 700 injured when they were attacked at a roundabout south of Gaza City while waiting for food aid, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

They must have felt threatened by the clanging of the empty pots.

Dont send us aid if its going to get us killed

We have come here to get our hands on some aid, one Palestinian man told Quds News Network after the attack on al-Rashid Street, southwest of Gaza City, which killed and wounded dozens of civilians.

I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4:30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us as if it was a trap, said the man.

False : Why should stop slashing aid to

The first two months of 2024 have seen the and member states redirect billions of euros of funding away from Africa but this could come at great cost to their long-term interests on the

In January and February 2024, and entities cut 4.8 billion in long-term development and climate funding, much of which had been destined for . This comes at a time when poverty in Africa is worsening for the first time in a generation. It also coincides with waning European influence on the continent, as well as concern among s leaders and about how this affects their interests. Despite the multiple pressures Europeans are facing, redirecting funding away from Africa now simply seems wrong-headed.

The funding cuts which together amount to 6 per cent of annual development funding from , , and the Union are underpinned by various national dilemmas and imperatives. s constitutional court, for instance, barred the governments efforts to reallocate unused covid-era debt to its green transition fund, which left a 17 billion hole in the s budget. It had to find cuts somewhere 2 billion of redirected foreign aid seemed to fit the bill. Frances attempts to balance its own books have resulted in cuts to development funding of around 800m. The European Council, meanwhile, in securing a 50 billion package of funding for , also quietly diverted more than 2 billion from long-term development programmes to fund migration management as part of the same deal on the EUs long-term budget.

These examples are part of a wider trend. According to OECD statistics, 2022 saw s overall share of fall to less than at any other time this century, even as aid levels more broadly hit an all-time high. That year, the worlds official development assistance for almost 1.5 billion people in Africa was roughly the same as funding for Ukraine population 44 million. This excludes aid.
