UN halts Gaza food aid over fuel cutoff; Israel blames Hamas |
2008-04-25 |
The United Nations stopped distributing food to Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip on Thursday after its vehicles ran out of fuel because of the Israeli blockade, a U.N. official said. Israeli countered that fuel is available, but said the Islamic group Hamas ruling Gaza is preventing it from being distributed. A spokesman for the United Nations' Relief Works Agency, Adnan Abu Hasna, said 700,000 Palestinians won't be getting packages of basic foods because the agency could not bring in new shipments or distribute them without fuel for its vehicles. "All of our regular food operations have stopped because of the fuel shortage," he said. |

#4 They also had several dozens of nice greenhouses they could have grown food in, if they had any common sense. Destroying things is better than growing food, so now they should have the consequences - an empty belly. |

#1 Gaza's not that big, and they don't have anything else to do - they can walk to wherever the food is and pick it up. |
