Palestinian peace activist: Hamas hid baby food

During the war in Gaza, which it caused with its massacre of 1,200 civilians in Israel on October 7, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas deliberately withheld aid deliveries of baby food and nutrient-rich drinks for infants instead of having them delivered to the parents of infants threatened by malnutrition and hunger.

The terrorist organization wanted to pillory Israel by blaming the Jewish state in the West for the supply crisis in Gaza. Palestinian peace activist Fouad Alkhatib, who lives in the USA, explains that he took part in the delivery of aid supplies himself and backs up his accusations against Hamas with a video.

“During the worst days of the hunger crisis in Gaza over the past six months, Hamas deliberately hid literally tons of infant food and nutrient-rich drinks for young children by storing them in secret warehouses under the control of the Gaza Ministry of Health,” Alkhatib writes on X. “The aim was to exacerbate the hunger crisis and usher in a catastrophe as part of the terror group’s hunger narrative.”

These “hunger narratives”, which were also disseminated by the UN and aid organizations, made Israel solely responsible for the precarious supply situation in Gaza. Alkhatib writes on X: “Never let yourself become a useful idiot for Hamas propaganda. You can sympathize with the real suffering of the civilians in Gaza and ask Israel to facilitate the import of aid supplies. But you must first and foremost blame Hamas for the starvation and famine crisis.”
