Absolutely psychopathic. I read the other day that aid hasn't entered north Gaza since the 23rd of January. This seems like the first since then, and their fired upon.
And western governments are still supporting this, selling arms to Israel, and demonising those that stand against it. Appalling world.
Surprisingly, I'm not actually privy to dates of the arms sales of western governments. I do know that the US have rushed through arms sales, Germany has increased sales ten fold since October, and the UK recently issued more licenses to Elbit Systems (and Israeli arms company that operates in the UK). I know a number of different arms factories operate in the UK and Canada as there are often actions to stop them working.
The lack of aid since the 23rd of Jan I was talking about was food primarily for the Gazans in the north.
You seem to have an issue on when arms were sold. Do you have an issue with arms sold prior to January being used to kill hundreds of starving people trying to get food for their family?
Looks like the US is in the process of sending more now:

Previous shipments passed review, not sure why this one won't also eventually go through.
Stop moving the goalpost.
They are in the process, this is what the process looks like. Get a grip.
