In a submission to Blinken, USAID “assesses the government of Israel (GOI) does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance” with the memo’s requirement that it facilitate and not impede “the transport of delivery of United States humanitarian assistance” as well as U.S.-backed international efforts to provide relief.

The initiative coincides with a serious deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The Biden administration anticipates international experts will declare “ongoing famine” in Gaza by early next month, according to a separate internal memo to Blinken from U.S. experts on food security in the Department of State and USAID. The memo subject line, which was seen by Devex, reads: “Famine Inevitable, Changes Could Reduce but Not Stop Widespread Civilian Deaths.”
[emphasis mine]“Israel-imposed administrative challenges are preventing the delivery” of lifesaving humanitarian assistance, it adds.

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.
You will not die with the cycle. I would like you to live.

The choice isn't easy. I won't pretend it is. You keep the cycle running because you believe you have to. That the world will end if you falter.
So I am asking you to risk it. I am asking Atlas to set down the world. I am asking Ouroboros to break the ring.
You cannot live by holding back. It's a trust fall, honestly. It's going to be scary. There are going to be things you weren't prepared for and didn't expect.
Some of those things will be beautiful. Many will simply be everyday, uneventful uncertainties. You will be able to deal with them when they happen, whether you could prepare for them or not.
