Jerusalem --- February 23, 2009...... Part of the the following communication was sent from the Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Government Press Office to the Israel News Agency.

In the ongoing Israel humanitarian effort for the people of Gaza, since the unilateral cease fire with Hamas (18/1/2009), 112,991 tons of aid and 10,062,900 liters of fuel for the Gaza power station have been delivered to the Gaza Strip.

Today, Kerem Shalom, Nahal Oz, Karni and Erez crossings operated enabling humanitarian movements and transfer of humanitarian goods in to Gaza. Throughout the day, a total of 156 trucks with 4139 tons of supplies at the request of UNRWA and the World Food Programme, the International Committee of the Red Cross, UNICEF and ANERA, and goods for the public and private sectors that included, fruit, medical supplies, rice, flour, sugar, oil, hatching eggs, blankets, diapers, personal hygiene items. Via Nahal Oz fuel depot, 442,000 liters of heavy duty diesel for the Gaza power station 100 tons of gas for domestic uses were transferred.

 

 

 

The transfer of this humanitarian aid continued despite several breaches of the cease fire by Hamas who have been firing missiles at Israel cities and towns and attempted terror attacks such as the one today where IDF soldiers prevented a large-scale attack at the Gaza Kissufim border crossing. Israel provides hundreds of tons of food, water, gas, electricity and medicine into the Gaza Strip on a daily basis. Israel is not at war with the Palestinian people, but with the Hamas terror organization which is committed to the total destruction of the state of Israel.

Hamas has fired over 8,000 missiles into Israel cities and towns since Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in a peace move three years ago.

The United Nations recently stopped all humanitarian aid into Gaza as a result of Hamas stealing UN aid at gun point.
Hamas attempts to prevent the people of Gaza from reaching this aid and therefore creates a Pallywood crisis for PR purposes.
Hamas then sells this aid on the blackmarket in Gaza.
