    My friend in Gaza told me abt the drugs found in flour (not that it’s mixed with flour, but inside bags hidden in the flour) which makes me feel like it’s real. It’s possible he got misinformed as well but it seems unlikely?

      Is it possible that aid workers are doing this not to poison Gazans but to sneak in critical medications? There are a ton of people in Gaza with horrific injuries which will leave them in immense pain. Oxycontin is relatively safe for most people to use for pain suppression and is very effective. Obviously if it is mixed in with the flour that is not the case. But if there are pills in bags in the flour then this seems plausible.

      Sure, if you’ve got a friend in Gaza who said it, I believe them. It just seemed like something invented by zios to mess with a western audience online, but if Gazans believe it (and they would be the people who know in this case) then I think it’s most likely true.
