Hamas Turns Away Truckloads of Israeli Humanitarian Aid Destined For Gaza

22

Hospitals in the Gaza Strip have been reportedly dealing with scores of wounded “Palestinians” — but when Israel tried to provide aid via truckloads of supplies, Hamas turned away the trucks.

Why?

Because Hamas would rather paint the narrative of an evil aggressive Jewish state than accept its offer of help.

It’s all part of the terror group’s ongoing propaganda hits against Israel, to make the Jewish nation seem the bad guy on the global stage.

The Jerusalem Post has more:

Hamas turned away two large truckloads of Israeli humanitarian aid intended to relieve medical shortages in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

The IDF said it coordinated the transfer of eight truckloads of vital medical equipment through the Kerem Shalom crossing due to severe humanitarian conditions in the Hamas-controlled enclave, with hospitals struggling to treat Palestinians wounded in clashes on the Israel-Gaza border on Monday and Tuesday.

Hamas accepted four trucks of aid supplied by the Palestinian Authority and two trucks supplied by UNICEF. But two truckloads of medical aid provided by the IDF were turned away when the origin of the equipment became apparent.

In addition to 53 tons of medical equipment set to be transported into Gaza this week via the crossing, the increased Israeli aid included more than 14,000 units of intravenous infusions, 40 medical basins, 20 medical examination couches, 25 infusion stands, 85,000 disinfectant pads and 12,500 bandages.

The transfer was facilitated by the IDF in coordination with the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the Gaza District Coordination and Liaison office.

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman approved the reopening of the crossing on Monday, three days after Palestinian protesters set it ablaze for a second time in two weeks, causing damage worth NIS 30 million ($8.3m) to the crossing’s infrastructure.

The Hamas-run Health Ministry reported that 64 Palestinians were killed and hundreds wounded over the two days of clashes.

A joint investigation by the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) concluded that at least 24 of the Palestinians killed during Monday’s clashes were members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Fifty of the casualties were Hamas members, senior Hamas official Salah Al-Bardawil said Wednesday in an Arabic-language television interview circulated widely on social media.

The director of Gaza’s Shifa Hospital’s emergency department, Ayman Al-Sahabani, told Reuters that medical supplies were running out.

“We are talking about 25 times the capacity of the emergency department, with all the big challenges and the shortage of medicine and medical supplies that has reached critical levels… A lot of these patients are waiting their turn to enter the operating rooms,” he said.

Increased efforts should be made to improve conditions in the Gaza Strip, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov said at a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday.

“Starting [on Wednesday], the United Nations, together with international partners, will need to focus and redouble efforts to implement projects that will have an immediate impact on improving the electricity, water and health situation as a matter of urgency,” he said.

And the first Muslim democrat president imported 200,000 yearly legal and illegal muslims and
deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to make it to America http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch

And those who dared to help were threatened to shut up and MSM would not cover it !

Sorry but I have to ask: where is the us military throughout this? The CIA must have told Trump this would happen once he withdrew from the Iran deal and moved the embassy to Jerusalem???

So? Is it Trump’s to be accountable for the decision of alleged adults in Palestine to riot, burn, attempt invasion and everything else they do? Let’s face it, if they hadn’t been handed the moving of the embassy as an excuse to riot, it would be something else. It’s not like they were a peace loving people, enraged solely by this decision.

And I’m pretty sure the Israeli army will do just fine with any US assistance.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that there would be riots when the embassy was moved. Trump would have known. I interpret the riots as evidence that Trump did the right thing. The Israeli army seems to be coping.

“The director of Gaza’s Shifa Hospital’s emergency department, Ayman Al-Sahabani” should have a huge beef with ‘palestinian leaders for not letting supplies through. Why isn’t that reported on. And why is Israel being so magnanimous with a people who wanted them off the map.

The only thing more stupid and self-defeating than the turning away of Israeli medical supplies was the effort to deliver them in the first place.

why does Israel continue to coddle the “Palestinians?” The “Palestinians are Arabs who should be taken care of by fellow Arabs. Israel is not winning any points in the international arena of public opinion by continuing to kowtow to a people who openly state they “hate” Jews. Antisemites throughout the world, and there are billions of them, see Israel’s holier-than-thou stance as arrogant and haughty, not kind and peaceful.

The 8 trucks should have approached the border, 4 in the right (entry) lane and 4 in the left (exit) lane, effectively blocking travel to/from Gaza to Israel until Hamas let them in. Let the media take pictures of the Aid Trucks that Hamas Banned for several hours.

remember

only Israel ever allowed post-war legit refugees to flow across the border into Israel to become genuine citizens of Israel waaaaaaay back in the 20th Century

but the arab nations surrounding Israel allowed post-war legit refugees to flow into their nations to serve as only as displaced pawns forbidden to become genuine citizens of arab states, and used as disposable “perpetual refugees” for having chosen to side with arab side that keeps them in a “no man’s land” (stateless)
stuck outside of Israel, and inside arab lands as “human shields”
