Study says food aid meets quality, quantity for Gazans as UN, ICC say Israel starving civilians

JERUSALEM – A new scientific study examining food insecurity in the war-torn Gaza Strip has found that the quality and quantity of food that has entered the Palestinian enclave over the past few months meets international nutritional standards and should adequately provide for the territory’s entire population of around 2.4 million. 

The findings of the report come in stark contrast to statements and predictions made over the past few months by the U.N., aid agencies and human rights organizations, as well as government officials in the U.S., who have warned of severe malnutrition, especially among children, and of looming famine in some parts of Gaza. It also comes a week after the world’s top two courts issued rulings accusing Israel, and its leaders, of purposely starving the Palestinian people. 

Conducted by a group of leading Israeli academics and public health officials, the study, which is based on data from COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for facilitating the entry of aid into Gaza, found that the quantity and nutritional composition of the food that has been delivered over the past four months complied, and even exceeded, the Sphere standards, an internationally recognized benchmark for humanitarian response.

While the study assessed all food aid shipments that passed through the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana land crossings, as well as air drops into the territory from January-April 2024, it did not, however, examine what happened to the food aid after it entered into the Strip or how it was distributed to the civilian population. 

HAMAS' GAZA HEALTH MINISTRY UNDER MICROSCOPE AS QUESTIONS CONTINUE OVER NUMBER OF DEATHS

Both Israel and the United Nations recognize there have been problems in distributing the aid, but blame each other for the severe shortages of basic items reaching the population.

"We don't usually deal with humanitarian crises, we usually deal with food security domestically, but we were concerned by the reports and international declarations projecting the risks of famine, which were quickly accepted by the media and used by those who are hostile to Israel to make claims of deliberate starvation, genocide and war crimes," Aron Troen, a professor of agriculture, food and environment at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem who oversaw the study, told Fox News Digital.

"Clearly, we are concerned with the horrific toll that this war is taking on civilians, both Palestinians and Israelis, but there is a large gap between the harms of war and claims that Israel is deliberately starving Palestinian people," he said. 

As part of its research, Troen’s team scanned COGAT’s registry of all the aid that entered Gaza via air and land between January and April. Quantifying and assessing the nutrient composition of the individual food items and summing up the energy, protein, fat and iron content of all the shipments, the researchers then calculated the supply per capita per day according to population size in 2023. The findings were then compared to the Sphere standards for food security and nutrition in conflict-affected populations, showing that what has entered should have been sufficient to feed the entire population. 

"There’s no question of suffering [in Gaza] and that is very concerning to my colleagues who work in the public health arena and those who concern themselves with food and nutrition," Troen said, noting that "simply having food in a warehouse does not mean that people are actually consuming what they need."

Alternatively, Troen said reports about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza "were based on scams and very limited data" and that most of the "projections were worst case scenarios."

"What we found most confusing was the controversy highlighted in the media of counting trucks and the different claims and counter claims of how many trucks there are and how many trucks there were before and how many trucks are needed to provide for the needs of the civilian population," he continued, emphasizing, "counting trucks does not tell you how much food is actually getting in." 

URBAN WARFARE EXPERT SAYS ISRAELI MILITARY TAKING UNPRECEDENTED STEPS TO PROTECT GAZA CIVILIANS

Ahed Al-Hindi, a senior fellow at the Center for Peace Communications, who has been monitoring the humanitarian situation in Gaza by speaking to people on the ground, told Fox News Digital "there is no way that we can say there is a famine in Gaza."

"Of course, it's not ideal, there’s a war and many people have fled to areas such as Rafah or Khan Younis, so there is a lot of demands there," he said. "But also, the supplies are there and available and the prices are reasonable." 

Al-Hindi shared a video released by the Center for Peace Communications with Fox News Digital showing footage of a Gazan man who is identified as a Hamas supporter, examining produce in a local market and purchasing cucumbers, bananas, melons and even peaches. 

"I’ve worked in many countries that suffered from famine," he continued, describing the extreme famine in places such as Syria, where President Bashar Al-Assad forbid food from entering a town called Madaya in 2016 and famine was clearly evident.

Also in Sudan, Al-Hindi said, his contacts on the ground described severe food shortages. 

"We have reporters on the ground in Sudan, and they are all complaining how they are suffering from real famine but everybody is ignoring them because of the war in Gaza," he said. "They say it is because of the color of their skin color that nobody is paying them attention, instead all the eyes are Rafah."

In Israel, Col. Elad Goren, who heads the civil department of COGAT, told Fox News Digital there are currently no limits on the amount of food going into Gaza and that the U.N. calculations, widely cited by international organizations and government officials in the U.S., were misleading and inaccurate. 

He said the U.N. figures on the aid going into Gaza did not encompass the entire picture, failing to include what is also being brought in by other international agencies, daily air drops by the Jordanian and Egyptian militaries, and the pier, which the U.S. Central Command put in place earlier this month but last week was temporary closed for safety reasons. 

"From our side everything is open, if the agencies want to bring in 700 trucks a day of food or whatever, then they can, there is no problem," Goren said, highlighting that the problem of getting food to the ordinary people caught up in the fighting stemmed from the challenges of distribution. 

"There is a limited number of trucks for delivering the aid, and it is up to the U.N. and other international agencies to purchase more trucks for this use," he said, explaining what he said was one large part of the problem.

WHY MIDEAST NEIGHBORS WON'T OFFER REFUGE TO PALESTINIANS STUCK IN GAZA WAR ZONE

Prior to the war, Goren detailed how the U.N. had only about eight aid trucks in Gaza. Since the war started on Oct. 7 and the humanitarian situation deteriorated, the U.N. had added around 15 more trucks to its fleet – not enough to reach all the areas in need. Goren also noted that the U.N. had sent in fewer than 60 people to help deal with the crisis. 

Also hampering efforts, he said was Hamas, which often disrupts aid efforts, firing rockets at humanitarian convoys and emptying all the available cash from the banks. Last week, COGAT released a photograph showing aid workers running for cover as the terrorist organization attacked the Kerem Shalom crossing. 

In response to a request from Fox News Digital, Eri Kaneko, spokesperson for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said, however, that "the responsibility to facilitate aid operations in order to meet people’s humanitarian needs lies with parties to the conflict."

"Humanitarian workers and volunteers spare no effort, often risking their lives, to support civilians in Gaza amid active hostilities," she said, explaining that "mounting an effective humanitarian operation in a war zone requires security assurances for aid workers and unimpeded passage to distribute assistance at scale." 

"In that context, we have stressed that Israel’s responsibility does not end when supplies are dropped off at the border, as that alone does not guarantee aid workers’ access to safely pick them up, let alone distribute them to those in need inside Gaza," Kaneko continued. 

The spokesperson did not address the lack of delivery trucks or humanitarian workers, but did say that its missions were "routinely denied access to their destinations, delayed at [Israeli-run] checkpoints, or otherwise impeded." 

US FORCED TO HALT GAZA AID DELIVERIES AFTER BIDEN ADMIN’S $320 MILLION ‘FLOATING PIER’ STARTS TO SINK

In recent weeks, Kaneko said "every third humanitarian mission coordinated with the Israeli authorities in southern Gaza was either impeded following an initial approval or denied access altogether."

"As a result, the already poor flow of humanitarian supplies into Gaza has dropped by 67% since May 7, leaving civilians without essentials for their survival," she added. 

Last week, the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, also held Israel and its leaders responsible for preventing the crucial supplies from reaching the population, saying he would seek warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including "the starvation of civilians as a weapon of war."

Khan's announcement was not only based on the U.N. assessment but also on data from agencies dealing with food security. The World Food Program, who’s executive director Cindy McCain has already declared that there is a full-blown famine in Gaza, told Fox News Digital that its predictions were based on data provided by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Organization. 

Israel, however, has accused the IPC of not following its own protocols in making its famine assessment for Gaza, pointing out that it relies on information provided by Hamas-run bodies. Asked if they might update their analysis based on the new report on food security, the IPC told Fox News Digital that they were currently working on new reports due out in the coming weeks. 

FEWS NET, which also provides early warnings and analysis on acute food insecurity to international agencies, and previously predicted the possibility of famine in Gaza, published a new report on Tuesday saying that it was "unable to formally classify famine (IPC Phase 5) in northern Gaza at this time," mainly due to "limited up-to-date, quantifiable evidence."

In March, world leaders expressed serious concerns regarding the aid situation in Gaza, prompting the U.S. administration to push the Israelis to open more entry points and allow more goods to go in. The Israeli army agreed to reverse earlier policies and said it would "flood" the Palestinian territory with both aid and commercial goods. Since then, additional land crossings have opened in northern Gaza, and aid also arrives from Jordan over land through Israel. In addition, Israel’s international port in Ashdod is now clearing aid for the Strip. 

Jeremy Konyndyk, president of U.S.-based Refugees International, said the research paper offered a skewed view of the "cumulative food supply deficits" because almost no food was able to enter Gaza in the early months of the war. It also does not address the challenges of distributing the aid, he said.

"It is disputable that enough food is entering the strip," Konyndyk continued, adding "there are numerous obstacles related to Israeli government policies and Israeli military conduct that have prevented food from reaching many who most need it."

While he acknowledged looting by Hamas and others, he said the "greater obstacle is the extensive movement restrictions imposed by the Israeli military, and the atmosphere of fear and insecurity that aid agencies face due to repeated army strikes on humanitarian movements and facilities."

FORMER ISRAELI LEADER URGES ‘DISMANTLING’ OF ICC OVER ARREST WARRANTS: ‘POLITICAL TOOL’

"Safe aid access and last-mile distribution within Gaza remain the biggest challenges in terms of combating famine," said Konyndyk.

"I think Israel's humanitarian policy has evolved substantially since Oct. 7," Shira Efron, senior director of policy research at the Israel Policy Forum, told Fox News Digital. "Whereas in the beginning, insufficient quantities of aid, including foodstuff was going in, now it seems, at least from the number of trucks and that way of counting, there are sufficient quantities of food going into Gaza, at least according to the Spheres standard."

Efron, who has been monitoring the aid situation closely, said that while counting calories to determine whether civilians were receiving enough supplies was problematic, in a chaotic situation such as Gaza, it was "difficult to find a suitable metric to assess the quantity and diversity of the food going in." 

She noted the discrepancies between figures put out by Israel vs. the United Nations agencies but also highlighted that the U.N.’s figures were only partial, while COGAT provided a fuller and more up-to-date picture of the aid operations. 

Efron also said there was a problem with distribution once the aid entered into the Strip, highlighting the difficulties of getting goods to displaced people who are constantly on the move and other war-related factors. 

"While there might be enough food going to prevent large-scale hunger, unless we solve the distribution problems inside Gaza it will not reach the people who need it," she said. "I think it’s time for the U.N. or international organizations, and Israel, to try to develop a more result-oriented approach to understand how this aid is going in, where it is going and whether it is getting to the people who really need it."

Journalists, commentators respond as Trump joins TikTok, rapidly gains 10x more followers than Biden

Journalists and commentators responded to former President Trump's surprise decision to create a TikTok account, quickly eclipsing President Biden's presence on the platform. 

"Donald Trump joining TikTok is going to be huge, you watch," former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage posted to X on Sunday. "Gen Z are crying out for leadership."

As of Monday afternoon, Trump had over 4 million followers after posting his first video Saturday night. Biden, who created an account four months prior, had roughly 347,000 followers. 

TRUMP JOINS TIKTOK, THE APP HE ONCE TRIED TO BAN AS PRESIDENT

"Trump has (unsurprisingly) joined tiktok," ex-social media producer for Sen. John Fetterman's campaign, Annie Wu, wrote. "In his first day he amassed 3.3M followers and received 3.2M likes on his first video[.]"

"Hopefully the numbers won’t continue to be so bad for Biden vs Trump on tiktok," she wrote in another post. "Or else it will be like a very public and bad poll, a massive ratio, everyday for all to see," Wu continued. "To be clear, this likely won’t impact anything actually electoral — mainly it would just be embarrassing[.]"

TRUMP TURNS CONVICTIONS INTO CASH IN WAKE OF HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL VERDICT

Trump's decision to bring his campaign to TikTok comes despite his attempts to ban the app as president. 

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee's first post was a launch video on Saturday night on a verified account — @realDonaldTrump — showing him waving to fans at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight in Newark, New Jersey, that he attended a few hours earlier. 

The move appears to be an effort to connect with younger voters who frequent the app, as Trump faces off with Biden in a 2024 election rematch. The main super PAC supporting Trump, MAGA Inc., joined TikTok a few weeks ago. The site has roughly 170 million users in the U.S.

The app appears to be friendly ground for the former president, with roughly twice as many pro-Trump posts compared to pro-Biden posts on the site, according to recent reports from The New York Times and Puck, which cited internal analysis from TikTok.

House Dem who challenged Biden in primary calls on Gov. Hochul to pardon Trump for 'good of the country'

A House Democrat who previously posed a primary challenge to President Biden called for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to pardon former President Donald Trump for "the good of the country," insisting his conviction is only helping the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign.

"Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim," Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., wrote in a post to X on Friday. "@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country."

In a follow-up post to social media on Saturday, Phillips wrote: "You think pardoning is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. (Election charges are entirely different.)"

"It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost," Phillips added.

TRUMP TURNS CONVICTION INTO CASH, SPOTLIGHTS RECORD FUNDRAISING IN WAKE OF GUILTY VERDICT

Phillips' remarks about the "record" fundraising came after the Trump campaign announced Friday evening that it had raised nearly $53 million in the 24 hours after Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts in his criminal trial in New York City.

The campaign, as reported by Fox News Digital, had previously announced it had hauled in $34.8 million in fundraising from 6 p.m. ET to midnight on Thursday, immediately after the verdict in the case was made public.

The campaign touted that the fundraising was "nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform" and emphasized that the guilty verdicts "have awakened the MAGA movement like never before."

Hochul's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on Phillips' plea for a pardon.

BIDEN URGES RESPECT FOR LEGAL SYSTEM AFTER TRUMP CONVICTION WHILE PUBLICLY FLOUTING SCOTUS RULINGS

"I think the New York cases, if anything, may have backfired against those who thought that it would be the salvation. But I don't think the New York cases are exactly what Democrats were hoping they would be," Phillips told CNN's Manu Raju.

Phillips launched an unsuccessful primary challenge against Biden in October. He dropped out of the race in March, saying it "is clear that Joe Biden is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be."

"I ask you join me in mobilizing, energizing, and doing everything you can to help keep a man of decency and integrity in the White House. That's Joe Biden," he added at the time.

Trump has been aiming to close his fundraising gap with Biden. In April, his campaign and the Republican National Committee for the first time out-raised the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

While Trump has stepped up his fundraising, the Biden campaign still enjoyed an $84 million to $49 million cash-on-hand advantage at the end of April.

Biden camp blasts 'unhinged' Trump response to verdict, accuses him of 'sowing chaos'

The Biden-Harris 2024 campaign on Friday responded to former President Donald Trump's "unhinged" speech from Trump Tower, accusing him of being "confused" and "desperate" while "sowing chaos."

"America just witnessed a confused, desperate, and defeated Donald Trump ramble about his own personal grievances and lie about the American justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States," Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler said in a statement. "Unhinged by his 2020 election loss and spiraling from his criminal convictions, Trump is consumed by his own thirst for revenge and retribution. He thinks this election is about him. But it’s not. It’s about the American people: lowering their costs, protecting their freedoms, defending their democracy.

"That’s what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are fighting for. Donald Trump is sowing chaos, attacking the rule of law, and fighting for the only thing in the world he gives a damn about: Donald Trump."

HOW TRUMP GUILTY VERDICTS MAY IMPACT THE 2024 REMATCH WITH BIDEN

The campaign's comments came after Trump delivered lengthy remarks on Friday morning from Trump Tower in New York following his unprecedented trial resulting in the conviction of 34 counts of falsifying business records. 

Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 election, said that he wished he testified in his criminal trial, though it appears he was given counsel otherwise.

"I would have testified. I wanted to testify," Trump said from the podium. 

WHAT TRUMP TOLD FOX NEWS DIGITAL FOLLOWING THE VERDICT

"The theory is you never testify because as soon as you testify — anybody, if it were George Washington — don't testify because they'll get you on something that you said slightly wrong, and then they'll sue you for perjury."

"But I didn't care about that. I wanted to," Trump reiterated. 

Trump was charged by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts. 

LEGAL EXPERTS SAY TRUMP CONVICTION IS A 'TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT' FOR APPEAL

Sentencing is scheduled for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention opens in Milwaukee. Each count carries a maximum prison term of four years, resulting in Trump facing a potential total of 136 years behind bars.

Following the verdict, support from Republican lawmakers poured in on social media. 

"Today is a shameful day in American history," House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a statement. "Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon."

GOP lawmakers in both chambers have rallied behind Trump and called for their colleagues to endorse the former president in the November election over the last year. Over 100 House Republicans and over two dozen Senate Republicans — including the Senate GOP Conference — endorsed Trump.

Former 'Jeopardy!' host says it's a 'real challenge' to be a liberal and defend Israel

Former "Jeopardy!" host Mayim Bialik said it's been a "real challenge" to be a liberal and be an outspoken supporter for Israel following the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. 

Appearing on Wednesday's installment of "The Sage Steele Show," Bialik was asked about the overall silence coming from Hollywood as the war between Israel and Hamas has unfolded. 

"Like what we talked about with this, you know, the Trauma Olympics, right? There seems to only be room for one pain in this kind of conversation," Bialik told Steele. "There's room for everyone's pain. You can hold all those things at once."

"It's a real challenge to be a liberal person who also believes that Israel has a right to exist. I'm a bleeding heart liberal, though. It's very a very strange place to be. It's a strange intersection," Bialik said.

The former "Big Bang Theory" star continued, "When Oct. 7 happened, and all around the world, before Israel even, you know, had the time to collect the bodies, there was celebration. That struck a very deep chord with Jewish people all over the world. And, you know, the Jewish people are often the canary in the coal mine. We're often the first that is scapegoated. And yeah, it's very painful."

"Have you had conversations with friends who have voices and have chosen to stay silent?" Steele asked. 

"Yeah," Bialik responded. "I think that anyone who thinks that you should celebrate the massacre of innocent people, that's a very different conversation. But even with my kids, my older one especially, you know, there's a conversation to be had about what does it mean when antisemitism rises because of the policies of the Israeli government — which, we may not agree with the policies of the Israeli government — but what does it mean when there's a world increase in hatred towards one group of people because of the policies of a government that doesn't even represent them? That's called problematic." 

MAYIM BIALIK CALLS OUT PROGRESSIVE FEMINISTS' SILENCE ON HAMAS RAPE, TORTURE IN ISRAEL: ‘WHERE ARE YOU?’

MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER SAYS THERE'S AN ‘ANTI-CIVILIZATION ELEMENT’ IN THE ANTI-ISRAEL CAMPUS PROTESTS

Bialik went on, "So, to me, there's a real kind of distinction to be made, and yeah, I don't understand people celebrating terrorism against any people… It's been very painful. I have a lot of family in Israel, the vast majority of my family is in Israel. And it's complicated, and [I've got] family on all sides of the political spectrum. And I have family in uniform right now, you know. But again, the actions of the Israeli government should not have any impact on the way people treat Jews in your college dorm."

Bialik has been among the most outspoken Hollywood celebrities to speak out following Oct. 7.

In November, the Emmy-nominated actress called out feminist groups for their silence on the brutal crimes Hamas terrorists committed against women. 

"There has been an abhorrent and conspicuous absence of women’s organizations around the world unequivocally condemning the systematic rape and torture of women on October 7 by Hamas," Bialik wrote on social media platform X. "Brutal gang rapes, sexual torture, and murder of fetuses happened- period. Where are the ‘BELIEVE THEM’ voices?" 

"These crimes against women were in many cases documented by the terrorists themselves and broadcast for the world to see," she added. "Those of us who have fought for women’s rights and have sought to shout from the rooftops when women’s bodies are being used in war for the sadistic pleasure of perpetrators are astounded at how the world has been silent surrounding this."
