| Gazans Angry Over Arab Humanitarian Aid | |
| 2010-07-23 | |
| Gazans are furious over the "Humanitarian Aid" which has been arriving on flotilla ships and from donor counties -- and they are specifically mad at the "aid" that has arrived from Arab countries. Al Jazeera reports the story on their Arabic website (google translate does a typical job, not the best quality) Monir Al-Barash, the PA Health Ministry's Director of Donation Receivables stated that since the IDF "Cast Lead" operation, Gaza's hospitals have been able to make use of less than 30% of the "medical aid" that has donated. "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." Another senior PA Health Ministry official, Bassam Barhom started that among the medical equipment were broken dialysis machines." What annoyed them the most were the donations from Arab countries of burial shrouds for children.

| #1 Welfare recipients are all the same, the world over. If ever I had a doubt, I don't now. |
