A lot of details have come out about what Epstein offered his Royal friends, less on what he expected from them.

New files shed light on what he wanted from Sarah Ferguson, majority ownership of her women’s empowerment brand, and the opportunity to leverage her network.

The route is interesting because they’re heading south on a road very close to an IDF outpost.

The road they’re travelling on only leads to the outpost or the Erez crossing, meaning the supplies came from one of those two locations.

Both videos ended with the vehicles arriving at Al Mansi’s school compound.

The Norwegian Refugee council disagree with this definition of impartiality, telling Sky “Once channelled through an armed group, aid no longer meets that definition,” and that it “it becomes indistinguishable from support to one side in the fighting”

We geolocated numerous videos like this to the group’s compound and noted the presence of GHF branded aid still wrapped on pallets.

Presenting our findings to the GHF, they acknowledged the militia had received aid directly from them, claiming neutrality in the conflict.

The IDF have pushed into the south east of Gaza city, with Palestinians forced to abandon camps in nearby neighbourhoods.

After the destruction of whole neighbourhoods across the strip, high numbers of demolition equipment suggest a similar plan for the city.
