(MFA Spokesperson Announcement)
Israel categorically rejects today’s statement by several organization regarding the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza
These organizations are serving the propaganda of Hamas, using their numbers and justifying their horrors. Instead of challenging the terror organization, they embrace it as their own.
In this critical time of negotiations, they are echoing Hamas’s propaganda and harming the chances for a ceasefire. We urge all organizations to cease using Hamas’s talking points.
Close to 4,500 trucks have entered Gaza, including flour for bakeries and 2,500 tons of baby food and high-calorie special food for children. There are more than 700 aid trucks inside Gaza waiting to be picked up by the UN.
This bottleneck is the main obstacle to maintaining a consistent flow of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. For some, the obsession with attacking Israel is more important than helping the people of Gaza.
