UN says Hamas seized Gaza food aid and blankets

[loco]

Wed Feb 4

JERUSALEM – A U.N. spokesman says Hamas police in Gaza have seized thousands of blankets and food parcels meant for needy residents.

Spokesman Christopher Gunness says Hamas police raided a U.N. warehouse in Gaza City on Tuesday evening. He says police snatched 3,500 blankets and more than 400 food parcels.

The aid is vital now because Gazans are facing hardship after Israel's three-week military offensive against Hamas.

Hamas has ruled Gaza since it seized control of the territory in 2007. Gunness said Wednesday this is the first time Hamas has seized U.N. aid.

Israeli officials have charged that the militant group routinely confiscates supplies meant for needy Gazans.

A Hamas government spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

Bump for the apologists to defend this. They have said that Hamas is acting in the best interests of the Gazans after all! What "savior" steals blankets and food from people who need it?

[OzmO]

Hamas is trying to maintain its power base.   

So Israel didn't succeed?

After all this shit the UN or Israel should be distributing the supplies directly.

How? Hamas is still in there and will still steal it. Even if people will manage to get their supplies the Hamas will come to their home and take it.

Also, if Israel would try to do it the world will say they're interfering ;in internal affairs and that Hamas was democratically elected blah blah...fucking BS.

True.  Anyway,  the Jews killed Christ so its up for grabs i guess.

Who are you to criticise Hamas? Who's to say stealing blankets from its own citizens isn't the RIGHT THING to do? After all, you input is only an opinion.
