Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme (WFP), rejected Israel’s claims that Hamas is stealing aid entering the Gaza Strip on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday.
The WFP director and widow of the late Senator John McCain, a staunch Israel supporter, said that Palestinians in Gaza “are desperate” and “when they see a World Food Programme truck coming in, they run for it”, emphasising it is due to people “starving to death” and not because of Hamas “or any kind of organised crime”.
When asked about the US-backed private humanitarian organisations that will deliver aid to Palestinians subject to “identity checks”, McCain says the WFP had not been included in talks nor had they received a proposal on how this will be delivered.
