“There’s nothing I’ve seen here that is close to other conflict zones.” From a tent in Gaza, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss what’s happening on the ground — as Israel starves Palestinians and pushes a deadly, US-backed ‘aid plan’ following an 80-day food blockade. Mehdi asks Elder about Israeli claims that Hamas has been diverting aid away from the United Nations. Elder pushes back: “When it comes to Hamas aid diversion, show us the proof. It doesn’t exist,” he says.
