The Trump administration intends to destroy nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food meant to help feed starving children.
The destruction of the food, which could have fed 1.5 million children, will cost an estimated $100,000 to American taxpayers.
The food could have been sent to places that desperately needed it, like Gaza.
Two rations of biscuits a day is enough to stop people from dying, the former official said but noted that they do not replace real food. They made “perfect sense” in the catastrophic situation of Gaza “because there is no clean water, there’s no way to cook, no oil, no fires,” they said.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
