The media campaign is well underway: the White House is publicly flattering itself on a bold humanitarian achievement.

On paper, the figures are impressive. Humanitarian groups are credited with scaling up meal production by 82 percent since late September. Even eggs have returned to store shelves—for the first time since the full blockade began in February.
