US envoys blocked warning of 'apocalyptic wasteland' in Gaza, says report
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-envoys-israel-blocked-warning-apocalyptic-wasteland-gaza(www.middleeasteye.net)US envoys to Israel reportedly blocked multiple 2024 memos from USAID staffers that warned the Biden administration of a deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The suppressed memos described Gaza as an "apocalyptic wasteland," highlighting catastrophic needs for food and water based on a fact-finding mission. According to a Reuters investigation, the US ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, and his deputy suppressed the reports because they lacked "balance." These findings could have prompted questions within the administration regarding the conditions for providing military aid to Israel.
