Israeli PR fails; not a single aid truck entered Gaza today

Deliberate stalling and slow Israeli inspections have rendered humanitarian aid distribution efforts almost negligible, amid the continued starvation of Gaza.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that the declared Israeli suspension of military operations in western Gaza ended at 8:00 pm on Sunday.

Despite extensive media coverage claiming that aid has been entering Gaza, our correspondent confirmed that not a single aid truck has entered through the Karam Abu Salem crossing, which remains under Israeli control, even though trucks departed from the Egyptian side.

The correspondent explained that the delay is due to "a strict inspection process carried out by the Israeli occupation army under a slow and complex bureaucratic procedure aimed at delaying delivery."

Another contributing factor to the delay is the time-consuming logistics: trucks entering from the Rafah crossing are first unloaded at Karam Abu Salem. After undergoing inspections, the aid is reloaded onto different trucks operated either by the Palestinian Red Crescent or United Nations agencies.

According to information obtained by Al Mayadeen, only a limited number of trucks, just dozens, are expected to enter Gaza today, but no official time has been set for their entry.

The correspondent also confirmed that three limited airdrop operations were carried out on Sunday, some of which landed in "red military zones" near occupation forces, such as Al-Batin Al-Samin in southern Khan Younis and the al-Zaytoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City.

He added that aid delivered to northern Gaza was limited to a few trucks from the World Food Programme. However, not a single bag of flour reached UN warehouses, as it was seized by desperate civilians waiting for aid.

'Humanitarian pause' denounced as PR stunt

On Saturday evening, the Israeli Foreign Ministry had announced what it described as a "humanitarian pause" in designated corridors and aid centers across Gaza to "facilitate aid distribution."

The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas strongly condemned the Israeli occupation army's airdrop of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, describing it as a superficial and misleading gesture aimed at repairing the occupation’s global image amid ongoing aggression.

In a press release issued on Sunday, Hamas dismissed the airdrop effort as a "formal trick" designed to whitewash the image of the "Nazi occupation" before the world. The movement stated that such actions fall far short of the required humanitarian response to the catastrophic conditions in Gaza.

Hamas asserted that the Israeli occupation is employing the airdrop approach to deflect international pressure to lift the siege. According to the movement, so-called humanitarian corridors are being used not to alleviate suffering but to assert control over aid distribution.
