Inside Story - Gaza humanitarian crisis - Nov 14 - Part 2

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."

How can Palestinians destroy Israel. Israel is a world power that enjoys unlimited foreign aid from the US because if it wasn't for the US Israel wouldn't exist. They enjoy weapons and military aid from their biggest patron.

Its overconfidence in its military might will be its downfall.

@thetruth4uguys. Of course the opened a luxury mall. But it is only for those who can actually afford to shop for those goods. If you visited a normal palestinian family, most of them would have trouble getting ends meet. Those who go to the luxury mall are gazans which are still well off. Only a person who is more ignorant than you would believe what you are saying.

I do agree with Badgeless. What Izraelies are doing to Palestinians is the same what Germans did to Jews during the II WW and Gaza is the best example of Warsaw Getto.....Anna

"..until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes..the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.."
