Israel says 14,320 tons of humanitarian aid have entered Gaza since start of war
[IsraelTimes] COGAT, the Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories, says that 14,320 tons of humanitarian aid have entered the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 Strip since the beginning of the war.

"There is no limit to the amount of food, water and medical equipment that can enter Gaza," COGAT says. "We invite the international community to coordinate and we will facilitate."

While aid has trickled into the Strip, humanitarian organizations say it is nowhere near enough.

Israel says Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
 has stockpiles of fuel and supplies that it is keeping from an increasingly desperate civilian population.

#1 IDF says it supplied 300 liters of fuel for "urgent medical purposes" at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City

Sounds majorly kind of 'em. Why though? Fcuk their 'medical purposes'.

#2 ^Because there is one set of rules for Israel and another for everybody else, Dron.

#3 For $hits and Giggles ran some numbers:
778,187 Gaza Strip Population – Nov. 2023 est.
14,320 tons of humanitarian aidm which started Nov 3rd according various sources. So that's about 3.68 LBS adult, child and baby per day.

Question:
Does that include the much bragged in the media airdropped supplies by other Arab groups and nations also?

#4 As per earlier note...300 litres is about 60 gallons . Might be a day's worth of generator fuel.

#5 NN2N1, where did you get 778,187 as the population of the Gaza Strip? The usual imaginary number quoted is 2.3 million.

There have now been two airdrops of supplies by Jordan — unexamined by Israeli inspectors, they proudly boast. So one can assume they aren’t sending only items on the approved list. I assume the 14+ tons mentioned is what came through the Rafah border crossing controlled by Egypt.

#7 The link in #6 shows the 2023 population at 778,000. But the last paragraph, Gaza Population Growth says -

Between 2000 and 2013 alone, Gaza grew by over 687,000. By 2020, the region will have 2.1 million people.

Seems we have both numbers in the same article!

#8 got. Gaza Population 2023

Looking at the link, that’s Gaza City, not the entire Gaza Strip territory.

Lots of imaginary numbers flying around whenever Palestinians are involved. They haven’t had real numbers since Israel stopped doing the counting.
