Israeli security forces delivered 300 liters of diesel fuel to Shifa Hospital in Gaza early Sunday morning and later received intelligence indicating that Hamas had intercepted the delivery, according to a Sunday night IDF statement.

    And this fuel would be enough for … (wait for it) 30 minutes. The hospital requires 9000-10000 litres a day.

    And don’t forget that until recently IDF was refusing to admit that the fuel is running out in the hospitals and now they offer 300 liters. How generous of them.

    Oh and those babies, that they offered to transport, how are they going to arrange it? Seriously this will require special transportation, with transport incubators, special personnel and should deliver them to another hospital with enough fuel and equipment and guess what there isn’t such a hospital in Gaza.

    But again this also comes from the IDF who were refusing to admit that there is a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and that they are the reason for it.

      If we were to be devils advocates for a second here… if you knew that the terrorists that you’re trying to wipe out would steal any fuel you send in, but everyone keeps telling you to do it anyway, would you send 9000 litres and resupply your adversary or would you send a few hundred litres and record what happens to make a point?

        Especially since you can send another 300 liters, or even more, as soon as you see it actually going to the hospital.

        Also, the hospital most certainly does not need 10000 liters a day for critical equipment. (To run everything like normal, maybe.)

        You would send all the fuel a catastrophic situation needs. That’s the point of humanitarian help.

        But who are we kidding, if not for international pressure, there would never be any humanitarian help. Or there woulf still be 20 trucks a day, with water for 20k people, in a city of 2 million

          You would send all the fuel a catastrophic situation needs.

          Even if you knew the aid wouldn’t arrive, but instead would be used to extend the cause of the catastrophic situation?

        you would fake it and provide it as evidence.

          Do you really believe that you need to fake anything related to making Hamas look bad?

          That doesn’t even make sense. I understand everyone’s emotions are high, and what is happening is truly tragic, but can we at least agree on some common logical foundation?
