New propaganda offensive, gonna flood Gaza with aid (while continuing to bomb and kill aid seekers I guess)
Israel says it will ‘flood’ Gaza with humanitarian aid
Israel will attempt to “flood” Gaza with humanitarian aid using a variety of routes, a spokesman for the Israeli military said, as global pressure mounts over a looming famine in the besieged enclave.
“We are trying to flood the area, to flood it with humanitarian aid,” Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari has told a group of foreign reporters. “We are learning and improving and doing different changes so as not to create a routine but to create a diversity of ways that we can enter.”
The comments came as aid agencies accuse Israel of preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, and of thwarting distribution efforts inside the enclave by destroying infrastructure and killing police officials guarding aid convoys.
They certainly made it routine to kill aid seekers.
US working on maritime route as part of strategy of ‘flooding the zone’ with aid
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said Washington is attempting to set up a multinational humanitarian corridor for Gaza as part of a wider strategy of “flooding the zone” with aid. The US announced last week that it will be building a temporary pier on Gaza’s Mediterranean coast that will enable the distribution of up to two million meals a day in the Palestinian enclave.
Blinken – who spoke with officials from Britain, Cyprus, UAE, Qatar, the EU and the UN on Wednesday – emphasised that the maritime route is a “complement to, not a substitute” for other ways of delivering aid. “In particular, overland routes remain the most critical way to get assistance in and then to people who need it,” he said.

UN says Israel turned back an aid truck after finding scissors used in children’s medical kit
Israel has been restricting the entry of humanitarian supplies into Gaza as part of a highly complicated inspection system.
The UN said a truck loaded with aid was turned back on Monday because it had scissors used in children’s medical kits. In response, Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) accused the UN of lying, saying “this did not happen”.
Janti Soeripto, president and chief executive of Save the Children in the US, tells Al Jazeera what she has witnessed during aid inspections on Gaza’s border.
