Britannia and Cyprus have sent 87 tons of aid to 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
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
via Egypt, the two countries said on Tuesday, with Cypriot officials saying they had successfully tested a screening mechanism for cargo offering an alternative route for badly needed supplies.
The January 1 delivery to Port Said in Egypt for transfer to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing fell short of Cyprus’s ultimate objective to establish a direct aid corridor to the Paleostinian enclave. But, for the first time, it offered a workaround on how aid could be accelerated by eliminating security checks in Israel itself, officials said.
The Cypriot initiative to create a sustained, one-way sea route into Gaza entails aid undergoing security checks in Cyprus by government agencies, including from Israel, before being dispatched onwards from the eastern Mediterranean island.
"The international community now has a workable alternative at its disposal to send additional humanitarian aid
to the population of Gaza," Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said in a written statement.But underscoring logistical challenges, the British Royal Fleet auxiliary ship which offloaded thermal blankets, shelter packs and medicine in Egypt on Monday was at sea for at least 10 days awaiting clarity as to whether it could sail directly to Gaza, individuals with knowledge of the situation said.
The direct route is not currently executable due to requirements including security matters which have "not been met at this point in time," one of those sources said.
"The situation is very dynamic and we will continue to deliberate with all relevant stakeholders on the best time and way to operationalize the initiative," the source said.
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron
...Empty suit Brit pol, former PM, has stated that he is
certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is
not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as
certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel...
said Britannia was committed to supporting the people of Gaza.
"Significantly more aid needs to reach Gaza to alleviate the suffering of the Paleostinian people," he said.
