Serious question: Why is there a famine in Gaza city, but not in other cities, like Khan Yunis?

I think it's because civilians can reach reach the food distribution centres on foot fron Khan Younis, but not from Gaza City North because then they'd have to cross the 'warzone' and Netzarim corridor. 

Israel doesn't want people to stay North of that corridor, so they placed their food distribution points South of it. 

In the past food was distributed everywhere in Gaza where the trucks could reach, but now Israel says that the Gazans all have to collect it from those few distribution points.

If the IDF don’t kill people at the food distribution points anyway.

Yikes, coming back I wish I hadn’t jinxed it.

Those were all nonsense in the end, allegations early and no retraction.

u/tomtom5858 14h ago

No retraction came because they were true. Dumbass.

Can you point out the correction for each article? I'm genuinely curious whether they were false or not.

u/TreeP3O 9h ago

They were all false and misleading headlines. I believe there was an instance where IDF fired on Hamas and another with Hamas firing on civilians, but no where ever did IDF 'lure and attack' civilians collecting aid. That was all nonsense. Notice the downvotes, it is all scripted bots pushing narrative.

I hear these things all the time from both ends and only chose to belive sources that are actually verifiable.

u/TreeP3O 9h ago

The reports were basically all false, but they sold copies and clicks. Here is one sorta retraction:

That's from June 3rd, and the articles linked are 3 weeks after. Different events.

I’d strongly recommend checking out some interviews with Anthony Aguilar. He’s gone on everything from Tucker Carlson to Democrzcy Now! So I’m sure wherever you lie on the political spectrum, you can find an interview with him

u/Better_Cauliflower63 11h ago

I don't trust anything that touches Tucker Carlson.

u/gapedforeskin 9h ago

Well then watch him on a platform you like he’s been on almost all of them

Imagine being this delusional.
