The UN had supplies for a humanitarian crisis. 1+ million people are being evacuated, and more bombs have now been dropped than an entire year in Afghanistan. Is this not a humanitarian crisis?

If Hamas is the government, and the aid is there, then the government has received the aid that the UN delivered?

I'm sure there's more to this, that's not mentioned, but the context is odd.

Yet another Hamas apologist. yawn

And you're not an Israeli apologist? They haven't agreed with either side, they simply said both are entitled to medical care, is that truly thought provoking.

The UN deleted the tweet and deny that it actually happened. Yet these news articles ignore that. But that doesn't match with your extremely biased view. Genocide apologist?

Hamas does occupy governmental positions, but they're also demonstrably linked to terrorist actions which they take full responsibility for, and I think that takes precedence for most people. With that, many of us are reticent to call them a government.

To your point though, if we can trust wikipedia and if I'm reading it correctly, the ministry of health in Gaza seems to also be under Hamas governance, so I'm not sure who else you'd deliver the foreign aid too.

Other countries, including New Zealand, deem only Hamas’ military wing, which is called the Qassam Brigades, to be a terrorist group. The U.N. has not designated any part of the organization as a terrorist group.
