It is worth noting that this announcement comes one month after new director Luke Lindberg took over as executive director of the World Food Program.
Lindberg was handpicked by Donald Trump, having worked in the US department of agriculture. He is a proud backer of wanted war-criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, and an 'America First' proponent who sees it as a priority to export US agricultural products through the humanitarian system.
And here he is in 2023 proudly posting a picture of himself with a US-made sniper rifle to be sent to israel, the country currently committing genocide in Gaza, as the WFP reduces food aid.
🚨 BREAKING: Half a million Palestinians in Gaza will lose monthly food assistance as funding shortages force major World Food Programme cuts ahead of winter, ABC News Australia reports.
➤ WFP is reducing its monthly reach from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million. Families receiving two food parcels will now get one, and flour bags will shrink.
➤ Daily hot meals have fallen from 250,000 to 150,000. Some families in hard-to-reach areas will receive meals every other day instead of daily. Cash assistance for 75,000 families is being cut by 40%.
➤ WFP’s Carl Skau said traditional donors, including the U.S. and Europe, have reduced funding. “It’s not because the needs are down … it’s only due to the lack of funding,” Skau told ABC.
➤ Around 1.4 million people face crisis-level hunger or worse, including 200,000 in emergency conditions. WFP says it urgently needs $450 million for six months of operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Both ITV and Channel 4 have done excellent undercover investigations into Reform and Farage, exposing corruption, dodgy finances, racism and misogyny.
Why have the BBC not done the same?

We have known this for actual years, but for some reason we always act like info learned about covid is a shocking new discovery and not further confirmation of long known facts. Maybe so we don’t have to do the 🎃 scary 🎃 thing and filter the fucking air.

That a metro system would be built in a northern UK city involving underground tunnels and stations is supposedly an impossible, unrealistic idea from an unserious mind.
Meanwhile, Newcastle with 13km of bored tunnels and 9 underground stations built 13 years after first plans:
ALT view into the dark of a bored circular tunnel, with clean black and white panelling in the passenger part of the platform, and judicious use of Calvert typeface
ALT view through a clean subterranean corridor to the doors of a Metro train
ALT a view down the wee platform, with clean lines, clever design and a decidedly proper look to the system
ALT a view up an escalator shaft giving an idea of the depth of the station - again, this is a proper underground station built in the heart of mining territory just like Leeds

It's a complete mystery why @BBCNews appears to have blanked this UN report which is utterly damning of the BBC and Western media.
They have all 'facilitated genocide'.
===
Albanese found that Western media “camouflaged” Israeli responsibility in headlines, with the BBC most criticised for this, having been found to do so in 83% of its headlines, according to media analysis.
The “striking example” provided in the report was of Hind Rajab.
Five-year-old Hind Rajab was killed alongside her family while attempting to flee Gaza City two years ago. The car they were in was found riddled with 335 bullet holes from rounds fired by Israeli military personnel.
The BBC headline still reads: “Hind Rajab,5, found dead in Gaza days after phone calls for help.”

Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show was a relentless attack on Zack Polanski's Party's motion that Zionism IS racism - from people who don't think those slaughtered in its name are victims of racism.
Why was no one asked to explain why they think Zionism is NOT a form of racism?

Health Secretary Yvette Cooper says the increase in waiting lists is down to extreme heat in the summer and an increase in GP referrals but says it’s part of “a big turnaround plan” for the NHS

Why did the BBC say “questioned” rather than “interviewed”?
The answer is that the BBC launders Israel’s genocide, and does so to the point that they'll frame an interview with an anti-Zionist Jewish politician like it's a police interrogation.

Share this and tell folks to study it. This is a common tactic employed by the reactionary forces of the state to try and discredit protest movements everywhere.
🔴 À Metz, deux policiers dissimulés, vêtus de noir et encagoulés, ont jeté des grenades dans une rue passante avant d’être escortés et exfiltrés par d’autres policiers.
Cette scène s’est déroulée à Metz, dans la ruelle située à l’arrière du café Blondel.
Partout en France, des foules immenses et pacifiques ont défilé ce samedi 17 octobre contre la vie chère et dans la continuité de la révolte de la jeunesse, en mouvement depuis trois semaines pour abroger Parcoursup, changer les rythmes et obtenir des conditions d'éducation dignes.
Pour tenter d'étouffer le mouvement, Sébastien Lecornu et Laurent Nuñez ont organisé le chaos et multiplié les violences contre les manifestants lycéens, étudiants, salariés, fonctionnaires et autres secteurs de la société mobilisés dans ce mouvement d'une ampleur jamais vu depuis mai 1968.
