In a striking turn of events, critics and organizations who had only recently accused Israel of causing famine in Gaza and demanded the immediate resumption of external aid into the territory are now aggressively criticizing Jerusalem for doing exactly that.

In recent days, the newly-launched Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began delivering aid into Gaza under the protection of the Israeli military, with the stated aim that it would help ensure that Hamas terrorists did not steal deliveries, and that it would reach the intended audiences.

But rather than attempt to find a spokesperson for the GHF, or an Israeli representative who could discuss the initiative, CTV News recently found a reliable critic and anti-Israel detractor who could give a predictably harsh perspective.

Shaina Low, a representative with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), was interviewed on CTV Your Morning on May 28 by Anchor Lindsey Deluce, where she assailed the newly formed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) initiative, which she repeatedly termed a “scheme.” The NRC has been accused of having ties to Palestinian terrorist groups.

Watch the full interview below:

She said that it did not “adhere to international humanitarian principles,” and claimed that it was just an attempt to shore up Israel’s military strategy in Gaza.

The crux of Low’s criticism was that, under the GHF, aid distribution centres would be set up in secured areas where Hamas could not attack, rather than – as was done under the United Nations – trucks would enter Hamas-controlled areas, where many of them were subsequently attacked and robbed.

Under previous management, hundreds of aid trucks would regularly sit inside Gaza, waiting to be distributed by the United Nations, only for it to languish. And when it entered, some of it was stolen by armed gangs and Hamas terrorists, resold on the black market, and proceeds were then used to fund terrorism.

However, not once did the host ever make any mention of why this new aid mechanism was approved, and what Israel’s criticisms were of previous methods. By utterly ignoring why Israel was forced to take control of aid distribution, CTV News not only failed to inform viewers, but it presented a highly skewed version to the public.

In Gaza, video clips have shown locals thrilled with the new aid deliveries, with some saying “all respect” to the Israeli military, and others have been cheering “Netanyahu!” in the streets.

During the interview, Low made outlandish claims about the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, alleging that people have had hair falling out, teeth rotting and are starving, a remarkable depiction, particularly in light of footage being shown at the same time, showing a healthy woman – presumably a colleague of Low’s – as well as groups of healthy-looking children.

In fact, the only interjections that the host was able to muster was to claim that “one in five people in Gaza are starving,” and that the images she saw were “heartbreaking.” The host’s source for her allegation about 20 percent of people in Gaza starving was from a report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

That study, which has previously predicted famine which never arose, does not actually say there is a famine. It predicts that such a thing could happen under certain conditions. Either the host misunderstood the report or misrepresented it. Either way, viewers were misled.

When no external aid was coming into Gaza, critics complained. And when aid resumed into the territory, providing millions of meals to Gazans, critics are now opposing the entire venture. But rather than challenge this obvious hypocrisy, CTV News has decided to give one such prominent critic a sympathetic platform.
