Freedom Flotilla nach Gaza

und so sieht eine Blockade aus...?

Humanitarian aid despite Hamas attacks

Despite attacks by Hamas, Israel maintains an ongoing humanitarian corridor for the transfer of perishable and staple food items to Gaza. This conduit is used by internationally recognized organizations including the United Nations and the Red Cross.

Well over a million tons of humanitarian supplies entered Gaza from Israel over the last 18 months equaling nearly a ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza. Millions of dollars worth of international food aid continually flows through the Israeli humanitarian apparatus, ensuring that there is no food shortage in Gaza.

Food and supplies are shipped from Israel to Gaza six days a week. These items were channeled through aid organizations or via Gaza's private sector.

Large quantities of essential food items like baby formula, wheat, meat, dairy products and other perishables are transferred daily and weekly to Gaza. Fertilizers that cannot be used to make explosives are shipped into the Strip regularly, as are potato seeds, eggs for reproduction, bees, and equipment for the flower industry.

In 2009 alone, more than 738,000 tons of food and supplies entered Gaza. Pictures in local newspapers show local markets aplenty with fruit, vegetables, cheese, spices, bread and meat to feed 1.4 million Gazans.

In the first quarter of 2010 (January-March), 94,500 tons of supplies were transferred in 3,676 trucks to the Strip: 48,000 tons of food products; 40,000 tons of wheat; 2,760 tons of rice; 1,987 tons of clothes and footwear; 553 tons of milk powder and baby food.

In a typical week the IDF coordinates the transfer of hundreds of trucks containing about 15,000 tons of supplies. During the week of May 18, 2010 there were more than 100 truckloads of animal food, 65 trucks of fruit and vegetables; 22 truckloads of sugar, some 27 truckloads of meat, poultry and fish; and 40 trucks of dairy products. At holiday times, Israel increases transfers. During the Muslim holy days of Ramadhan and Eid al-Adha, Israel shipped some 11,000 heads of cattle into the Strip...

Passage erlaubt: Humanitäre Hilfe für Gaza

Auch mit Blick auf eine geplante Hilfslieferung internationaler Aktivisten, die die Seeblockade von Gaza durchbrechen möchte, um auf eine angebliche Notlage der Bevölkerung hinzuweisen, betont das israelische Außenministerium in einer Pressemeldung, dass zahlreiche internationale Hilfsorgansisationen ihre humanitären Leistungen über die von Israel zur Verfügung gestellten Wege nutzen können…

Die Kritik an der israelischen Blockade des Gazastreifens sei ungerechtfertigt. So seien in den vergangenen 18 Monaten fast eine Million Tonnen Güter nach Gaza gelangt. Ohne die internationalen Hilfen im Wert von Millionen von Euros, die kontinuierlich durch die israelischen Kontrollstellen gehen, wäre es unter den ca. 1,6 Millionen Einwohnern des von der Hamas kontrollierten Küstenstreifens sicher schon zum Nahrungsengpass gekommen.

Sechs Tage pro Woche werden Lebensmittel und andere Güter von Israel aus nach Gaza transferiert. Dazu gehören auch Babynahrung, Mehl, Fleisch, Milchprodukte und andere verderbliche Produkte sowie – nichtsprengstofftauglicher – Dünger, Kartoffelsamen, Eier zur Fortpflanzung, Bienen und Equipment für die Blumenindustrie, so das Außenministerium in Jerusalem. Dementsprechend seien Bilder von Märkten in Gaza, die vor Obst, Gemüse, Käse, Gewürzen, Brot und Fleisch überquellen, keine Überraschung.

Hingewiesen wird auch auf eine detaillierte Auflistung der Hilfsmaßnahmen, und Sarah Weiss Maudi, Expertin für maritimes humanitäres Recht im israelischen Außenministerium, erläutert in einem Interview die Seeblockade, die Israel über den Gaza-Streifen verhängt hat.

We keep going to Gaza: 10 Israeli navy ships aim at our meeting.One of the Greek cargo boat that have joined us way to GazaThe latest information is that 10 Israeli navy ships aim at our meeting.For now we sail with the question of whether the declaration of Catherine Alston mean any change in the repressive strategy of the government... of Israel.Today was a busy day for those who work in the office of Mavi Marmara.Our appearances in the Spanish press have made our blog, that you read, have increased their visits by 400 thousandsOf course our journey, that you can see live streaming, has not gone unnoticed and now we live like a real victory which has resulted in visualization of the reality of the people of Gaza.Thousands, perhaps millions of people who did not know of the situation in Gaza now they are informed by the great technological deployment that takes the Mavi Marmara and the work of dozens of people like us who have not ceased to make visible the reality of a people unjustly oppressed.We again remind you that if the boats are held or dealt with by the army of Israel, there are calls in several cities against Israel and consulates in Madrid, opposite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to 19h, the day after our arrest.Dont stop the solidarity !
