Palestinian children from Gaza receive toys and other contributions provided by the US-based charity, KinderUSA "Palestinian sources said Israeli port authorities were holding up hundreds of tons of food materials donated to the Palestinians without any explanation .."
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM ââ¬â Israeli authorities have destroyed a shipment of medicine, vitamins and other food supplements to disabled Palestinian children in the refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, some of whom suffer from down syndrome and malnutrition.
According to officials of al-Awda hospital in Gaza, the shipment is worth tens of thousands of dollar.
ââ¬ÅThe shipment was held at the airport in Tel Aviv and we were told that certain documents were needed. However when the documents were provided and every time we submitted a document, another was demanded,ââ¬Â said Dr. M. al Farra of the Awda hospital.
ââ¬ÅEventually, the Israeli government destroyed the shipment of the vitamins without any explanation.ââ¬Â
The shipment in question was donated by the US-based Holy Land Trust, a Christian charity.
A UN report last month accused the Israeli regime of preventing food and water from hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
Palestinian sources said Israeli port authorities were holding up hundreds of tons of food materials donated to the Palestinians without any explanation.
A spokesman for a Hebron-based charity accused the Israeli government of seeking ââ¬Åto starve Palestinian children.ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅI think they are waging a war of starvation against us. It is a kind of holocaust,ââ¬Â said the official who asked for anonymity.
The Israeli occupation army tightly sealed the occupied territories when the Aqsa Intifada broke out more than three years ago.
Since then, Palestinian population centers have been reduced to virtual detention camps, with Palestinians barred from traveling outside their immediate population centers.
Israel has also been restricting foreign food aid to the Palestinians, pushing many impoverished Palestinian families to the edge of starvation.

=========================================================== The impact of the Zionist holocaust on Palestinians since the establishment of that "Chucky Doll" nation in the Middle East has not yet been evaluated.
In 1946 the Swiss Red Cross reported that between 500,000 and 1,500,000 Jews died as a result of Nazi persecution during World War Two. The cost in Arab lives for Israeli hegemony in the Middle East will make what the Nazis did to the Jews seem like a Sunday school picnic.
For Jews justice is being allowed to do whatever they like. Injustice is whatever prevents them doing so. They believe they have a divine right to prevail over justice.
