VN bereid hulpgoederen Free Gaza vloot in Gaza Strook af te leveren

Ik dacht dat die goederen, die door Hamas werden geweigerd omdat ze door 'besmette' Israelische handen zijn gegaan, allang vergeten waren. Immers, het doel was bereikt: Israel werd internationaal aan de schandpaal genageld en de Palestijnen hebben wederom een propaganda-overwinning geboekt. Maar de de VN heeft uiteindelijk besloten de spullen toch maar op te halen. Beter laat dan nooit. Nogmaals: als het weken duurt voor er een instantie bereid is ze in ontvangst te nemen, dan krijg je de indruk dat het met die humanitaire crisis in Gaza wel meevalt. Of al die instanties zijn ongelofelijk cynisch.

UN will transfer flotilla's goods to the Gaza Strip

The United Nations will organize the transfer of the humanitarian aid brought by the illegal flotilla to the Gaza Strip

Israel and the United Nations have reached an agreement regarding the transfer of the humanitarian aid that arrived on the illegal flotilla two weeks ago. The UN Secretary General's Representative Robert H. Serry informed the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Maj. Gen. Eitan Dangot, that the UN will arrange for the transfer of the goods into the Gaza Strip, and will make sure that these goods will be used within the framework of the humanitarian aid operations carried out under its supervision and that of its agencies.

The transfer procedures of the humanitarian aid, which includes medicine, food and clothing, will be determined by COGAT and the UN. It should be emphasized that before the arrival of the flotilla, Israel officially offered Turkey and the UN to transfer the goods to Ashdod, where Israel would coordinate its transport to the Gaza Strip. In addition, it should be mentioned that the entrance of the humanitarian aid goods into the Gaza Strip has been delayed in the past two weeks by decision of the Hamas terror organization. The IDF transferred the goods which were unloaded from the flotilla ships through the Kerem Shalom crossing, and Hamas has not allowed the goods to enter.

The IDF will continue to coordinate the transfer of merchandise, other goods and medical equipment to the Gaza Strip in order to assist in the establishment of infrastructure in the Gaza Strip allowing for an intact lifestyle of its civilian population. In its efforts to smuggle in weapons, to become a stronger military power and to attack Israeli civilians, Hamas harms the citizens of the Gaza Strip and prevents them from becoming rehabilitated.
