Gazans are furious over the "Humanitarian Aid" which has been arriving on flotilla ships and from donor counties -- and they are specifically mad at the "aid" that has arrived from Arab countries.
...
Most of the medications are being buried in landfills since they have expired or are of no use.
Wrap Up:
- Broken Medical Equipment
- Non-functioning dialysis machines
- Expired Medication
- Medication for issues not in Gaza.
- Burial shrouds for kidsBottom Line:
- 70% of the total aid is unusable.

This is a way for the Arab countries to empty their shelves of the sh!t they've accumulated. They put it all into the freight, and it looks really good, and really helpful.
"Look, we're sending tons of aid".
Nobody treats an Arab worse than another Arab.

Sooo... what did the world EXPECT from Arabs??? Whoever thinks that Arabs would be "charitable" with no profit in it is living in a fantasy world.
Like them or not - in my opinion, the Persians would not do this. Just ONE of the differences between Persians and Arabs.

And here I was thinking that charity was one of the "Pillars of Islam". With "friends" like that, who needs enemies. Go figure. I read this in JPost and EoZ, too. Good seed, Yaakov.

Don't conflate "Islam" and Arab. Nor are the two synonyms.
There are Arabs who are not Muslim, and Muslims who are definitely NOT Arabs.
And Arabs would naturally bring their Arab nature to any religion they "practiced."

No conflation here, Nofluer. Fact is that the vast majority of Arabs in Arab nations are Muslim.

Some issues ought to be relativized:
#1 Expired Medication
You can use most of the pharmaceuticals without losing effect far beyond the expiration date. As long as the drugs are in a sealed state and not exposed to air and water, they are safe enough for use. The doctors in hospitals should be glad to get any pharmaceuticals. Expired drugs are better than no drugs = no proper treatment, right?
#2 Medication for issues not in Gaza
Why are they so convinced that they cannot use them? Store them until you are 'forced' to use them. Why do they make such a big fuzz about it?
#3 Broken medical equipment
Why should it alway be fault of the sender that the equipment is broke? Perhaps, Hamas guys are that pissed off that the Saudis haven't delivered them materials for IEDs. Therefore, they treat the medical equipment with lesser care, who knows?
#4 Non-functioning dialysis machines
Sensitive equipment needs proper treatment as well - power outages may destruct such devices when the power supply is interrupted, and if the emergency power devices work on less voltage or amps than under regular power.
I don't think that the Saudis deliver them bullsh**.
I rather suspect that the guys of Hamas' admin want money and/or weapons but they get humanitarian aid - stuff, they loathe to have.

Josh,

I suspect you are correct. After all, those admin guys dress rather well and Brooks Brothers doesn't barter. Here's a link to a seed regarding Hamas' profiteering, see from 3m10 sec in the video.

I'd think burial shrouds, broken and non-functioning medical equipment, and expired medicine would come as a set.

As most people already knew, the whole idea of the "flotilla" was to score propaganda points-- not necessarily to help the Gazans.

Unfortunately those "most people" does not include the media and probably will not include the "international" investigative panels.

Yaakov tell the world what should be done in your view if you are willing at what is happening in Israel at the moment your insight would be very much appreciated at least by one myself.
Supposedly the situation in Gaza is bad-- shortages of food, etc. But if that is the case, how come the American ship in the upcoming flotilla is only carrying..letters?

Must be starved for reading material.
Maybe that's it-- apparently they really aren't suffering from any real humanitarian crisis in Gaza-- even The Red Cross admits that:
Red Cross official: No humanitarian crisis in Gaza
So maybe that's it-- they are lonely?
Perhaps Gazan mothers are sad-- their children don't write?-- they don't call>
Maybe-- what they really need most is-- a boatload of letters!
