State Department: Opening of Aid Distribution Centers is "Great News" for Gaza
(U.S. State Department) State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Tuesday: "We have great news to report out of Gaza....The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, under the humanitarian principles of independence and impartiality, has commenced providing lifesaving aid to the people of Gaza who desperately need it. Approximately 8,000 food boxes have been distributed so far. Each box feeds 5.5 people for three and a half days, totaling 462,000 meals." "Hamas has been opposed to this dynamic. They have attempted to stop the aid movement through Gaza to these distribution centers. They have failed, but they certainly tried." "We had heard about the resistance by certain NGOs and the UN. It is unfortunate because the issue here is getting aid to Gazans, and then suddenly it moves into complaints about style or the nature of who's doing it....Being opposed to getting food and aid...because someone might feel left out is, I think, the height of hypocrisy....People who care about the nature of solving this problem are taking action and moving it forward. And that's what counts. That's what matters."
