Moron, without the tunnels, starvation is immanent. What comes through the Israeli border are only the essentials. How do NGO food trucks fit into a tunnel? The international humanitarian aid convoy consists of around 250 vehicles, carrying humanitarian relief from Europe, Turkey and Arab countries, including food and medical equipment. news.xinhuanet.com Oh... wait.. the Egyptians are throwing a monkey wrench into this "humanitarian" venture: imemc.org And why would Hamas seize this stash of food that was supposed to go to Gaza residents? They STOLE THIS FOOD merely because they thought it was going to those who might not support Hamas? So Hamas is STARVING their opposition? L'ironie!!!. "They were armed. They seized this. They took it by force," Gunness said, terming the incident "absolutely unacceptable." The seizure took place after UNRWA staff earlier refused to hand over the aid supplies to the Hamas-run Ministry of Social Affairs, he said. Similar aid packages were distributed to 70,000 residents over the past two weeks, Gunness said. Ahmad Kurd, the Hamas official in charge of the ministry, did not deny the aid was seized, charging the U.N. was giving the aid to local groups with ties to Hamas opponents. chinadaily.com.cn Again.. maybe it's time for the Gazan Palestinians to elect another government.
