US calls UN criticism of Gaza aid effort 'height of hypocrisy' | AFP

The United States described the United Nations and non‑governmental groups as hypocritical for criticizing a US‑ and Israeli‑backed aid effort in Gaza, noting that food was successfully entering the Palestinian territory. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said it was unfortunate that the focus shifted from providing aid to complaints about the style or nature of the aid providers, calling the criticism "the height of hypocrisy."
