oatmeal#Gaza / Hamas rejects U.S. airdropping of aid to the Strip: "A cover for continued support of the war, not a real solution"
Jack Khouri (Haaretz Hebrew Edition) updates that #Hamas' spokesperson responded to the airdropping of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, stating that some countries, especially the U.S., are using the airdropping of aid as a cover for their support of the continued fighting and supplying ammunition to Israel.
According to the office's statement, the dropping of equipment and aid forces the dense population to scramble and search for the aid, which only increases the chaos. "2.4 million people are expected to start running and trying to take what they can. Some people manage to seize the aid while others get nothing," it was stated.
The statement also noted that the aerial aid is limited in terms of cargo size, and some of the packages do not reach their destination or are damaged as a result of the fall.
