While pounding Gaza, Israel treats its wounded and feeds its hungry


Gaza Palestinians Transferred to Israeli Hospital, Humanitarian Aid Enters Gaza

Twelve Palestinians entered Israel for medical treatment in Israeli hospitals. Two were children [one pictured above] injured during military action, while the rest were chronically sick people and their escorts.

93 trucks carrying 2,500 tons of humanitarian aid, medical supplies and medication were conveyed to Gaza through Kerem Shalom cargo terminal. The World Food Program has informed Israel that they will not be resuming shipments of food to Gaza due to the fact that their warehouses are full. Since Saturday some 6,500 tons of aid have been transferred.
