Israel allows Qatari donation of 20 emergency vehicles into Gaza
2019-12-19
[IsraelTimes] Strip’s Civil Defense hails ’unprecedented’ shipment, which includes SUVs fitted with water pumps; says firefighting equipment was blocked from entering since Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, takeover.

Israel allowed the import of around 20 rescue and firefighting vehicles into 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 Hamaswith 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...

, includes several SUVs fitted with water pumps. Gaza’s Civil Defense previously had just 33 vehicles to serve the territory’s two million people, including a single fire truck with a hydraulic platform.

Israel and Egypt have blockaded Gaza since the Islamic terror group Hamas seized power from rival Paleostinian forces in 2007.

Raed al-Dahshan, a front man for Gaza’s Civil Defense, said Tuesday’s shipment was "unprecedented."

The Civil Defense said no firefighting equipment has been allowed into Gaza since 2007, and the last shipment of fire trucks was brought in by the Western-backed Paleostinian Authority in 1998.

The blockade, which restricts imports and exports, has devastated Gaza’s economy and caused the unemployment rate to skyrocket to over 50 percent.

Israel says the closure is needed to prevent Hamas from arming. But fearing a humanitarian disaster that could spill over into violence, Israel has begun to soften its line.

The wealthy Gulf Arab state of Qatar, a key donor, has become an unlikely partner in Israel’s quest. Qatar has provided aid and led development projects in recent years to support efforts to preserve calm.

Hamas and Israel have fought three wars in the last decade.
