Some 'blockade,' isn't it?
The next time someone tells you that Israel is running a 'blockade' that's starving poor Gazans, you can throw this at them. Over the last week, a total of 595 truckloads, consisting of 13, 976 tons of humanitarian aid were transferred into the Gaza Strip from Israel via the various crossings. Likewise, ten truckloads of carnations were exported from Gaza to Europe.I get these statistics from the IDF daily and weekly. There is no 'blockade' except for materials like cement and metals that can be used by Hamas to make rockets (and even those - along with the rockets themselves - are being smuggled in from Egypt). No one in Gaza is starving. There is no 'humanitarian crisis.'
Additionally, 255 medical patients and accompanying individuals from the Gaza Strip crossed into Israel and the Judea and Samaria region for medical treatment. 222 staff members of international organizations crossed into the Gaza Strip.
Essential food and humanitarian aid products, including milk powder, baby food, rice, cooking oil, flour, hygiene products and medicals supplies including a CT scanner were among the goods that crossed into Gaza this past week.
Lastly, 1,216,297 liters of diesel fuel and 992 tons of cooking gas also crossed into Gaza.
Just keep repeating those things. For they are the truth.

Even Fox News Channel's Mike Tobin now show's how the 'blockade' is affecting the pooooor gazans. Wake up time when even Fox jumps on the bandwagon.
