Financial Times Admits: Tel Aviv’s New Strategy to Prolong Gaza’s Famine
According too the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Ma’an, a report published by the Financial Times, referencing human rights organizations, reveals that Israel is using new tactics to block humanitarian aid from reaching the Gaza Strip.
The report states that Tel aviv has implemented a new mechanism for registering non-governmental organizations, which has halted tens of millions of dollars in humanitarian assistance outside Gaza.
It adds that 40 international organizations reported that Israel rejected 99 requests to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza during the first 12 days after the ceasefire took effect.
Three-quarters of these requests were denied on grounds that these organizations were not authorized to send aid into Gaza. Among them was Doctors Without Borders. Tel Aviv claims it is reviewing these registrations and uses this process to prevent aid shipments from entering Gaza. This comes despite an agreement requiring 600 trucks to enter the strip daily during the ceasefire.
