Hamas stealing humanitarian aid, selling it
Jerusalem Post:
Israel is also looking at setting up a field hospital near Gaza for treatment of civilian casualties. I suspect that Hamas would not let people seek aid there.
Hamas on Monday raided some 100 aid trucks that Israel had allowed into Gaza, stole their contents and sold them to the highest bidders.This tells you something about the character of Hamas leadership, or the lack thereof. I suspect the conduct will not make many major news shows because it reflects badly on Hamas and its quest for victim status.
The IDF said that since terminal activity is coordinated with UNRWA and the Red Cross, Israel could do nothing to prevent such raids, Israel Radio reported.
...Security officials at Kerem Shalom thwarted an attempt to smuggle electrical goods, disguised as humanitarian supplies, into Gaza. The electrical goods included computers, infra-red cameras, ovens, microwaves and other electronic equipment.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak has forbidden the entry of electronics to Gaza since the goods do not fall under the category of humanitarian aid. Some electronic equipment has been let in as per an official Palestinian request, such as equipment used to repair the damaged electrical grid in Gaza.
