Inside Story - Gaza humanitarian crisis - Nov 14 - Part 1

Inside Story questions the 'blame game' being played by the parties while the people of Gaza continue to suffer.

Israel has refused permission for a convoy of trucks containing basic humanitarian supplies to deliver their loads to the Gaza Strip. Initially, the authorities had said they would allow passage for the 30 truckloads of drugs and food.

As the United Nations warns that it is going to run out of food for its aid programmes, all the parties, Hamas, Fatah, Israel and Egypt are blaming one another for the mounting humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has said that as long as rocket fire continues from Gaza into Israel, the border crossings will stay closed. The UN insists that this amounts to collective punishment, which is illegal under international law.

Christopher Gunness, the spokesman for the UN refugee agency UNRWA, said: "This has become a blockade against the UN itself."

Hahahahaha....professor from Hafia University: "I simply suggest we don't take seriously these alligations [of creating a humanitarian aid crisis in Gaza]." Hahahah...thats like saying "Oh, well, lets just deny all the terrible things we've done, and focus on all the bad things that happen to us as a result. We can then say its all unjustifed action of terrorists!" Hahaha.. what an IDIOT. Sorry for the cynicism, but the idiots like this make the world one big dramatic comedy.

[hommeling]

it is all a lie!!!

Ask the mother from where does she have the milk for the baby!

all the food in gaza are transported from the isrelis.

and for free!!!!

And you know whats even more stupid, on the film they allways just show some crashed houses, but where are all the houses.

I thought that gaza is the most squished area on the world ' so do they have so much space there???

Lies,lies, lies lies lies.

Muslims are liars and make up conflict as a way to empower islam.

Palestine never existed and it is simply a continuation of the Holocaust by those that directly participated in that genocide. Arabs in Gaza live better than Arabs in egypt, Yemen ect.

LIES. LIES LIES LIES LIES THIS VIDEO TELLS!

if you'd be smart enough you'd ask yourself why is israel doing this. if you'd be even smarter you'd realize that it's because the hamas (the rulers of the gaza strip; a world known teror group) is holding gilad shalit. when was the last time hamas let Gilad Shalit get anything from the red cross? four years ago- before he was kidnaped. the humanitarian criss is a bluff! if they don't have cement how are they builduing a luxurious mall?

[ArmorDinnerJacket]

how's that new shopping mall, you poor starving gazans?

Meanwile about flotila help:

""Al-Barash said that most of the medical equipment that arrived over the past year was "useless". "Benefactors sent us a shipment worth millions of dollars to counteract Swine Flu, except the shipment arrived after the virus threat had already completely disappeared."

What annoyed them the most were the donations from Arab countries of burial shrouds for children.
