Why does Israel facilitate theft of aid in Gaza? | news
The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip accused parties that he described as “working in clear coordination with the Israeli occupation forces” by seizing the humanitarian aid trucks entering the Strip, then selling them to citizens at fictional prices, which exacerbated the suffering of the trapped population and preventing food from reaching those who need it.
In statements to Al -Jazeera Net, a spokesman for the civil defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Belgal, said that the theft of aid is carried out directly under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, adding that the northern areas of the Strip have not been entered by any kind of aid since last March 18, and until the limited quantities that reach the southern sector are not sufficient to meet the need of the population.
Bella indicated that the Israeli occupation is carrying out clear insurance operations for groups on the ground, and coordinates with them in order to steal the scarce humanitarian aid that enters the sector and seizes them completely, then these teams later sell this aid at astronomical prices.
A systematic policy
The Euro -Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights said that the Israeli army killed and wounded more than 600 Palestinians, near 3 aid distribution points in its absolute control areas in the Gaza Strip within only one week, stressing that this is evidence of what these aid distribution points constitute from traps to target civilians and execute them in the field.
This is what the civil defense spokesman in Gaza indicated, saying that the occupation is a “policy of killing citizens with hunger”, noting that large numbers of residents are now unable to obtain food, drink, or even own money to buy food, which are offered for sale at fictional prices as a result of stealing humanitarian aid trucks.
Bella stressed that what is going on is a “clear methodology” used by the Israeli occupation forces to pressure the citizens, describing it as “killing and annihilating the citizen in exchange for a living”, pointing out that “insulting the citizen has become a tangible reality in those areas.”
Bellaf revealed that the situation in the northern Gaza Strip is the worst since last March 18, as no aid truck entered it, even those traders.
He added that southern Gaza has only received very few trucks that do not meet the minimum needs, noting that the current occupation policy is not limited to killing by bombing, but rather a methodology “killing hunger” aimed at exterminating the citizen and imposing a reality from collective humiliation.
A spokesman for the Civil Defense in Gaza concluded his statements that the siege and starvation is a additional tool used by the occupation to pressure the population and push them to the brink of the humanitarian disaster, stressing that what is going on “is not just a relief crisis, but a systematic policy to exterminate a people in exchange for a living.”
This comes at a time when local and international warnings increase the risk of starvation in the Gaza Strip, as United Nations reports indicated that about 2.3 million Palestinians live in Gaza are subjected to real famine, amid pictures and reports of victims of children who died as a result of food shortages.
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has been going on for about 20 months, and more than 54,000 martyrs were killed and about 125,000 were injured, as well as unknown numbers of missing persons under the rubble of their homes, or from those who cannot team or ambulance teams to reach them due to the intense Israeli shelling, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
