Though there have been endless false reports of mass starvation since the beginning of the war, this time, many Israelis have accepted concerns about hunger among Gazans are legitimate. This raises questions about how humanitarian aid has been distributed over the past few months. To discuss this – as well as how humanitarian aid distribution should be executed – we are joined by Yotam Polizer. Yotam is the global CEO of ISRAAID, the largest humanitarian aid organization in Israel, which has operated in 12 different countries. Since October 7th, 2023, ISRAAID has also worked inside Israel to rehabilitate Israeli victims of the October 7 Hamas attack, and helped facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid and medical support to Palestinian civilians in Gaza.(00:00) Special announcement(06:01) Intro(08:21) Yotam Polizer and ISRAAID(15:20) What ISRAAID did after October 7 (16:50) ISRAAID in Gaza(22:21) Most recent hostage-ceasefire deal(23:30) Stopping aid after the deal(25:10) Looting in Gaza(28:40) The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation(31:51) How was the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation different from other groups?(34:50) What should be done now? CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer
