Help has not yet reached the people, critical of the former Israeli Prime Minister
Although it is Israel Yesterday, after a thorough security inspection, allowed 93 trucks with humanitarian aid into gauze, which has not yet reached people. At the United Nations, they hope that this will happen today, while increasing international pressure on Israel, which introduced the blockade on March 2. In Gaza this time, two million people are starving, most of whom are women and children. As UN Secretary warned yesterday Tom Fletcheris at risk of life as many as 14,000 infants.
« All eyes are on the place where the trucks are supposed to bring and deliver food to the people, » reports a correspondent BBC from gauze. « The trucks have been waiting and waiting for yesterday, this morning it was the same. » But even a hundred trucks will not help much, because Gaza has been without food for 11 weeks, nor did it treat, as well as a quarter of water contaminated, he described the situation for BBC.
The amount of assistance that Israel began to go into gauze is not nearly sufficient and is « a smoke curtain that converts the siege is over, » doctors without borders warned yesterday. Trucks are supposed to be flour, baby food, medical equipment and medicines.

Israel has relented after an eleven -week blockade for increasing diplomatic pressure, which is also the only way, the former President of the Israeli government believes Ehud Olmert. “Nothing other than domestic and international political pressure will persuade Benjamin Netanyahuto stop the offensive in Gaza, ”he is for BBC stated critic of the current Israeli authorities.
He added that pressure is not enough, the tab on the scale could be the US president Donald Trump. The UK government announced yesterday that it had terminated talks on a trade agreement with Israel, called the ambassador of the state and introduced new sanctions against settlers in the western bank. It also joined 22 other countries that condemned the situation in Gaza and called for greater assistance to enter the territory.
According to Ehud Olmert, who was the prime minister between 2006 and 2008, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu leads to « war without purpose, war without the possibility of achieving anything that could save the lives of hostages. » The conduct of Israel in Gaza is, as he said, « very close to the war crime. »
Netanyahu is also condemned by current politicians in Israel. Jair Golanthe leader of the Democratic Party, stated that Israel kills children in Gaza « as a hobby. »
The pressure is also escalating the EU, which announced that it will review the implementation of an associate agreement with Israel. Their Foreign Ministry responded sharply: « We fully reject the direction of this statement, which reflects the complete misunderstanding of the complex reality faced by Israel, » the Ministry’s spokesman wrote on the X network X Oren Marmorstein. He is convinced that this step will complicate the efforts to interrupt the fire in Gaza and only strengthen the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement in his views.
Israel, meanwhile, continues attacks on gauze where at least 20 people were killed at night, according to civil protection, reports AFP.
