[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The United States has ordered the deployment of spy planes, a warship and even a submarine to the Southern Caribbean Sea to address the growing threat posed by Latin American narco mobs.
The directive marks yet another escalation by President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... , who has long wanted to use the military to go after the narco gangs that he has designated as global terrorist organizations.
Just last week, he had ordered the Pentagon to prepare military options in the region, and the Department of Defense has now ordered the deployment of US air and naval forces, two sources briefed on the decision told Rooters.
The Trump administration has also previously deployed at least two warships to help in border security efforts and drug trafficking - an issue that the president focused on in his campaign.
The US military has also already increased its airborne surveillance of Mexican narco mobs to collect intelligence to determine how to best counter their activities.
Trump has even offered to send US troops to Mexico to help combat drug trafficking, an offer Mexico refused.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum even declared that the country will never accept the presence of the United States Army in their territory.
'This deployment is aimed at addressing threats to U.S. national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region,' one of the sources explained.

Reacting like China to threats in their back yard.
Nah, they just deploy the coast guard and tin cans.
Who can't even drive and hit each other.
If the threat is small boats helicopters will deal with it. Or the five-incher.

[IsraelTimes] ‘You do realize that by supporting genocide that means it’s OK for people to commit genocide against you,’ John Reardon said one one of his phone calls, according to court papers
A Massachusetts man was sentenced on Thursday to more than two years in prison after he threatened to bomb synagogues and kill Jewish children in a series of calls he placed to two local houses of worship and the Israeli consulate in Boston after the outbreak of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war.
John Reardon, 60, was sentenced by US District Judge Julia Kobick in Boston to 26 months in jug after pleading guilty in November to charges related to what prosecutors said were dozens of violent mostly peaceful and antisemitic calls and voicemails he placed to Jewish institutions beginning on October 7, 2023.
Reardon’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment. But in court papers, she argued for a nine-month sentence, saying mental health issues led Reardon to commit a crime that was "terrifying, deeply hurtful, and will cause lasting fear in the victims."
He was charged in January 2024, as the US Department of Justice began to warn of a growing number of antisemitic threats nationally following the onset of the war.
The war began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... -led murderous Moslems stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli figures. Israel has killed more than 61,000 Paleostinians in its assault on Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures have not been verified and don’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.
Prosecutors in court papers said Reardon, in a voicemail left with a synagogue in Attleboro, Massachusetts, on January 25, 2024, said that "you do realize that by supporting genocide that means it’s OK for people to commit genocide against you."
Prosecutors said Reardon also threatened to bomb Jewish places of worship and said that by "supporting the killing of innocent little children, that means it’s OK to kill your children."
Prosecutors said he then called another synagogue in Sharon, Massachusetts, and left a threatening voicemail. He also called the Israeli consulate in Boston 98 times over several months, saying in one call it was "time to prepare the furnaces again," according to prosecutors, a reference to the Nazis’ systematic extermination of Jews in the World War Two Holocaust.
All of this is the fault of Hamas, with the UN and associated NGOs complicit. Read through that filter, this report takes on a very different meaning. Also, it’s proven that the UN lies when Israel is in anyway connected to the subject.
[IsraelTimes] Humanitarian agency says vast majority of aid trucks raided en route, but notes that despite challenges, food prices have dropped and kitchens are producing more hot meals
Close to 13,000 children were admitted to treatment centers in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... due to acute malnutrition in July amid severe food shortages, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a periodic update on the situation in the war-torn Gaza Strip.
That they said it is true. Whether the number is anywhere close to reality, and whether the malnourished are suffering because of the war Hamas started and continues to fight, as opposed to pre-existing medical or genetic conditions, is unknown.
The update released Wednesday painted a dire picture for the children of the Strip, with increased cases of acute malnutrition and hospitalizations putting the enclave’s overburdened and tattered healthcare system under even more strain.
Had Hamas not started the war, none of this would have happened. Cause —> effect.
According to OCHA, the total number of severe acute malnutrition cases diagnosed in children in July rose to 2,800, or roughly 22 percent of all childhood malnutrition cases diagnosed last month.
Out of perhaps 1.5 million or more children in Gaza, if the population really is 2 million? That’s an awful lot of kidlings who are doing just fine despite the war. And hey — what were the numbers before the war? Without historical perspective, how are we to know whether to be upset that it got worse or cheer that it’s gotten better?
While in most cases, acute malnutrition can be treated at any of the 106 outpatient sites dedicated to it across the Gaza Strip, OCHA said cases in which hospitalization is required have become increasingly challenging.
In total, 129 cases of severe acute malnutrition with complications that required hospitalization were diagnosed in July. This marked a sharp uptick in cases, as between the months of January to June, there were just 215 cases requiring hospitalization.
The war started 10/7/2023. Last January was also wartime conditions, so is not a useful comparison.
Despite the rising demand, there are still only five sites across the entire Gaza Strip at which children with complications of severe acute malnutrition can be stabilized and treated, OCHA said. Two of the stabilization sites are located in Gaza City, one is in Deir al-Balah, and the final two are located in Khan Younis.
Spain and France are taking pediatric medical cases and their families, among others that I can’t recall at the moment, and Israel — unlike Hamas — is happy to let them go.
In total, there are only 43 beds available across the five combined sites.
The report did not confirm the ages of the children diagnosed with malnutrition over the past month.
How many of those herin labelled “children” are actually not only adults, but parents or grandparents?
Gaza’s Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... -run health ministry has said that 42 children have died of malnutrition-related causes since July 1, along with 129 adults, although those numbers could not be independently verified.
…not even by Hamas, which is very fond of making stuff up.
Widening its purview to examine the state of the humanitarian conditions across the entire Strip, the OCHA report painted a bleak picture.
It said that while the UN’s World Food Programme collected 1,012 trucks carrying 13,000 metric tons of food from Gaza’s border crossings in July, only 10 of them ever reached their intended warehouses once inside the Strip.
1%?? That is an astoundingly bad failure rate. How much of the 99% goes into overstuffed Hamas warehouses, to be sold to the residents at war prices, and how much to other looters, also to be sold to the residents at war prices?
The remainder were "offloaded en route," it said, although it was unclear whether this was referring to organized theft or to looting by crowds of hungry civilians.
I vote the IDF finds and opens to the residents the Hamas warehouses.
In theory, OCHA said, the Food Security Sector believes there is enough food in or en route to Gaza to feed the population of roughly 2.1 million people for the next three months. But in reality, "the risk of spoilage and infestation of the stranded food supplies has significantly increased, and some of them are reaching their expiry dates."
If only the UN and related NGOs would work with the independent Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is very good at getting food to those who need it, instead of snubbing both GHF and Israel, leaving their own imports to rot in the sun, undistributed, out of spite.
It said that FSS was calling for "large-scale humanitarian assistance with guaranteed safe, unimpeded and sustained access" to ensure that the full amount of food earmarked for Gaza truly reaches its intended destination.
Images of starving Gazooks drew international outrage last month and heaped pressure on Israel until, on July 27, it announced measures to allow more aid into the Gaza Strip.
But aid agencies have warned that the slightly eased measures — including restarting the practice of airdropping supplies into Gaza — are not enough to fill the gap created by long months of little to no aid entering the enclave, and that on top of that, only a fraction of what is sent ends up entering the Strip.
Israel strongly denies limiting aid supplies and accuses Hamas of exploiting deliveries to boost its military capabilities.
On Thursday, dozens of aid groups signed a statement alleging that Israel was refusing to let a number of international NGOs distribute aid in Gaza, leaving millions of dollars’ worth of food and other assistance sitting in warehouses and putting future aid operations at risk.
Separately, the Haaretz newspaper reported that massive amounts of humanitarian aid have been spilling off trucks in Gaza and going to waste because the IDF is not allowing organizations to properly secure the cargo.
According to the report, Israeli soldiers at the Kerem Shalom Crossing rush aid workers to quickly load cargo onto trucks that are regularly delayed for hours at a time. Because the food isn’t tied down well and aid seekers are not given ample time to identify the route being used, aid has become easy to loot when the trucks reach areas where civilians are waiting.
The poorly secured aid also leads to large amounts of it spilling over, as the roads used by aid groups have been badly damaged by the war.
Even satellite images can show long trails of flour extending from the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
COGAT, the Defense Ministry body that coordinates aid, said in response to the signed statement from aid workers that Israel invests "considerable efforts" in aid distribution, and does not place "any quantitative limit" on the number of trucks entering the Gaza Strip.
The agency did not address specific questions about aid shipment volumes, nor did it address Haaretz’s claim regarding Israeli restrictions on properly fastening aid to trucks.
INGREDIENT PRICES DROP, ACCESS TO HOT MEALS INCREASES
But even with large amounts of aid failing to reach their intended destination, and the dire warnings that the aid is falling far short of what is needed, the impact of the eased regulations could be felt in the Strip, OCHA said, as "different types of food have started to trickle into the markets."
As a result, the eased restrictions have lowered the price of some basic ingredients, it said, with the price of sugar dropping to NIS 30-40 ($9-12) per kilogram as of August 10, down from a peak price of NIS 600 ($180) per kilogram earlier this year.
And it wasn’t just ingredients that were becoming more available for Gaza’s civilians — the amount of hot meals prepared by humanitarian groups was increasing too, OCHA said.
It said that as of August 10, 324,000 meals were being prepared each day at 81 community kitchens across the Gaza Strip, up from 259,000 two weeks earlier.
Of that number, around 99,000 are distributed to people in the north of the Strip, and 225,000 to those in the center and south.
While trending in the right direction, OCHA reiterated that those numbers fall far short of the roughly one million meals that were distributed across the Strip daily back in April.
"People continue to suffer from extremely imbalanced diets that lack essential nutrients, increasing the risk of acute malnutrition," it cautioned.
Accessing humanitarian aid in the Strip continues to be dangerous, even though the quantity has somewhat increased in recent weeks, with near-daily reports of mass-casualty incidents near aid sites persisting.
On Thursday, a front man for Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency said six people had been killed while waiting for humanitarian aid.
While the front man did not say whether the alleged incident occurred near an aid truck or at a designated aid distribution site, the majority of such incidents have been reported to occur near aid sites run by the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... says more than 1,300 people have been killed trying to obtain aid supplies in the enclave since the GHF began operating in May, most of them shot by Israeli forces operating near GHF sites.
Israel does not often comment on individual reports of shootings near aid sites, but the IDF has acknowledged in the past that it fires warning shots at crowds that get too close to its soldiers. Israel has also said the UN tallies exaggerated, though it hasn’t provided alternative casualty figures.

After HAMAS, Gaza Gangs, and others hijacked supply trucks, raided distribution points, and more. Its amazing any of the general population saw more than 20% of the items sent.
A reminder to the UN.
Hama's/Iran's long planned and supplied and conducted attack on civilians, using the Islamic 2000 y/o+ genocidal agenda are the root cause of this.
What has the UN done about this?
It has facilitated the immigration of Millions of such people to Western Europe and the USA.
