The starving Palestinians of Gazastan

There have been many false reports of how the poor Palestinians are starving in Gazastan from those mean and nasty Jews, the world's greatest oppressors. Yeah, right and I have a full head of hair like back when I was 18 years old. Israel, the world's top dog in practicing Apartheid like what used to be found in Southern Africa. Israel, barely letting any supplies or medical goods into Gazastan, turning all those Israeli trucks back at their own border to make sure the poor Palestinians are starved in submission. Now Egypt has decided to keep open it's border with Gazastan to help the horrendous burdens that those poor Palestinians suffer from. I feel 'so bad' for them I will help show you just how bad this situation is in Gazastan. You will not be needing any kleenex but perhaps a few doggie bags. I think you will get the point here.

Here Is a must read update that fits perfectly with what I have posted:

from Mere Rhetoric

The facts put these charges to rest – just take a look at how much aid Israel regularly delivers to Gaza, and what it means in real terms for Gazans:

* Over one million tons of humanitarian supplies were delivered by Israel to the people of Gaza in the past 18 months – that’s equal to nearly one ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza.

* In the first quarter of 2010 alone (January-March), Israel delivered 94,500 tons of supplies to Gaza. It’s very easy to miss what that actually means for the people of Gaza. The breakdown includes:
o 40,000 tons of wheat – which is equal to 53 million loaves of bread;
o 2,760 tons of rice – which equals 69 million servings;
o 1,987 tons of clothes and footwear – the equivalent weight of 3.6 million pairs of jeans; and
o 553 tons of milk powder and baby food – equivalent to over 3.1 million days of formula for an average six-month-old baby.
* This reflects a long-term effort on the part of Israel to deliver a massive and comprehensive supply of aid to Gaza’s civilians, while restricting the ability of Hamas to import missiles that have been launched at the cities of southern Israel. In 2009 alone:
o During the Muslim days of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha, Israel shipped some 11,000 head of cattle into Gaza – enough to provide 8.8 million meals of beef;
o More than 3,000 tons of hypochlorite were delivered by Israel to Gaza for water purification purposes – that’s 60 billion gallons of purified water; and
o Israel brought some 4,883 tons of medical equipment and medicine into Gaza – a weight equivalent to over 360,000 260-piece mobile trauma first aid kits.
Over one million tons of humanitarian supplies were delivered by Israel to the people of Gaza in the past 18 months – that’s equal to nearly one ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza.

Poor Palestinians are forced to eat outside in the elements.

Here is a report from the Turkish paper, Hurriet Daily News:

Hamas refuses Israel’s delivery of flotilla supplies

 

Hamas refused Thursday to accept an Israeli delivery of at least 20 truckloads of humanitarian aid from the flotilla of ships that commandos intercepted in a raid that left nine people dead.

The group said it was waiting for instructions from the Turkish government on whether to accept the supplies.
Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip and Israel’s Defense Ministry said Thursday the cargo, including medical supplies, clothing, blankets and toys, was held up at the Kerem Shalom crossing after being brought 38 kilometers south from the port in Ashdod.

Hamas said it would not take the aid because Israel confiscated some of the supplies and was still holding some of the more than 700 passengers involved in the May 31 attempt to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza.

Israel said last night it had expelled all foreigners from the ships except for seven who are hospitalized. It is also detaining an Israeli Arab religious leader who may be prosecuted. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States and the European Union.

“The government decided not to receive any aid until the occupation releases all those who are held,” Ahmed al-Kurd, the Hamas minister for social welfare, said in a telephone interview from his office in Gaza City. “We will accept all of the aid or none of it.”

The Israeli Defense Ministry unit that coordinates civilian issues with the Palestinian Authority said it had checked the flotilla cargo for weapons and other prohibited materials before delivering it to Gaza.
Israel is “acting in coordination with international aid organizations operating in the Gaza Strip which are waiting for the transfer of the cargo on the other side of the border,” the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories said in a statement posted on the Defense Forces website.

Al-Kurd said Hamas was waiting for instructions from the Turkish government on whether to accept the supplies. “We will wait for a Turkish green light to receive the aid because this flotilla was flying the Turkish flag,” he said. “Once it decides we should take the aid, we will take it.”

The pro-Palestinian activists were attempting to sail into Gaza, which has been under Israeli blockade since the Islamic Hamas movement took full control of the territory in 2007. A seventh ship has sailed for Gaza to try and breach the Israeli blockade. Egypt temporarily eased its own blockade on the Gaza Strip yesterday to allow trucks of food and other supplies to cross the border and more than 600 Palestinians to leave, according to Palestinian border officials.

The Israeli raid on the ships has led to condemnation throughout the world. The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution to authorize an independent international investigation of the raid. The U.S., the Netherlands and Italy voted against the measure.

And the Palestinian people are among the most malnourished  in the entire world:
