"There has been widespread looting of existing stocks in Rafah after aid agencies were forced to leave warehouses unguarded following warnings to evacuate the area from Israeli Defence Forces (IDF)" This is a ridiculous oversight, the IDF should be working with aid agencies to guard evacuated warehouses and create new humanitarian corridors to facilitate aid delivery.

Edit: Oversight was definitely the wrong word to use. I thought this evacuation was limited to a small part of East Rafah and only affected a few warehouses. It's actually all of East Rafah and covers both border crossings and the majority of warehouses if I had to guess. Not working with aid agencies ahead of time is clearly done maliciously.

That would lead to fewer innocent civilians starving to death, can't have that!

They're not limiting aid by accident or neglect. Amongst the many war crimes that they are committing on a daily basis is using starvation and deprival of other crucial resources as a weapon.

It's not an "oversight".

Doing that would be counterproductive to their goal of complete ethnic cleansing.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
