"Humanitarian" aid to Gaza?
(This is an English version of https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114875183196217904 - in NL).
Tuesday July 15, the Dutch foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp told journalists, in Brussels, after the EU meeting discussing sanctioning Israel that the amount of aid is already increasing following EU "pressure" (translated from https://nos.nl/artikel/2575144-veldkamp-spreekt-over-180-vrachtwagens-naar-gaza-egypte-ziet-nog-geen-verandering):
❝
For example, I saw that yesterday 180 trucks entered Gaza, and the day before 160".
❞
THAT IS, BY FAR, NOT ENOUGH!
The Israeli website https://gaza-aid-data.gov.il/main/ has meanwhile been updated with data through July 14. According to that website, the following number of trucks carrying aid entered Gaza:
July 13: 160 trucks (Veldkamp said 160)
July 14: 173 trucks (Veldkamp said 180)
(A few more details from that site in a minute in🧵2/2).
So Veldkamp exagerrated a bit. To clarify that the amount of aid is WAY to little, while essential stuff is fully missing (among other things, tents, water, gas for cooking), I've copied data from https://gaza-aid-data.gov.il/main/, a site that (deliberately?) makes information hard to comprehend, and put that into two tables - see below (I may have made a few typo's, don't shoot the messenger).
Data merged by me in the aid-type "Other":
- Essential infrastructure equipment;
- UN and International organizations equipment;
- Shelter Equipment;
- Mixed Aid;
- Medical Equipment - for field hospital.
The truncation "MedS " means Medical Supplies.
The Israeli website does not mention tonnage _and_ the number of trucks for each type of aid. Therefore I've split each table in aid-type specified in tonnange, and the other types in number of trucks. You can find more info and a summary in the Alt text.
