Twenty humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip via Egypt on Saturday morning, after Hamas terrorists released two U.S. citizens that they captured in a brutal terror attack on Israel on October 7.
It was the first aid to reach Gaza in two weeks. Israel had said it would not allow humanitarian aid into Gaza until the hostages were released. Hamas still holds 201 hostages, including Americans and other international citizens.
The Times of Israel reported:
Twenty trucks carrying aid cross into the Gaza Strip this morning as the Rafah crossing with Egypt opens for the first time since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas.
Reports from the border say the crossing closed again after the trucks went through.
That first convoy “must not be the last,” UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths says.

200 hostages times 20 trucks = 4000 trucks
Filled with cash, prizes, gifts, and yummies...
And no doubt U.S. tax payers are paying for all of it, regardless of what they claim.
Stupidity on display. Let them starve.
Ham-ass chows down on good food, no doubt.
So the message is clear: take hostages, kill and terrorize the innocents and you can expect to be rewarded
It should be 1 aid truck per hostage. If any.
Does anyone remember all the hijackings in the 70’s?
Why did they stop?
We paid them to stop.
How many trucks to feed 2 1/2 million people? Heck yes, I’d actually tell my congressman to insist on taking a tiny portion of the billions for arms he’s about to vote on and feed the soon to be starving civilians. Wasn’t getting the hostages priority #1? 200 hostages for $20 million in food? Absolutely yes.
Some UNWRA “palestinian” on NPR show yesterday am (don’t ask it was pure torture of absolute delusional agenda interviewers and... this guy with a thick whispering arab english accent)— said the 20 trucks were “an insult” to the “palestinians”.
Humanitarian— uh huh. Wonder if they let IDF search each truck, because they have used such “aid” in the past to ship weapons, and the food will all go to Hamas of course.
Bacon would be a good filler for the trucks.
Israelis did not inspect the shipments for weapons, no doubt at the insistence of the psychopathic Biden Administration.
Israel should have leveled the place while emotions were on their side. It doesn’t take but a couple days for the leftists and the media to totally turn the situation around to the poor terrorists. Now if Israel attacks they will be the aggressors and the bad guys
My thinking, too. They should’ve checked for weapons.
Did the trucks say “UN” on the side?
Making sure the Hamas*holes are well fed, clothed, and have medical treatment.
Report that trucks were not inspected has been withdrawn.

The Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) responded: “At the request of the US government, humanitarian aid including only water, food, and medical equipment was brought into the southern Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing in Egypt.”
“All of the equipment was checked before it entered Gaza. We emphasize that Israel has the ability to ensure that nothing was brought in or out other than the items mentioned above.”
Hamas will take all of the aid received and likely black market what they can’t use. Gazans will continue to suffer and Israel will be blamed.
We will stop bombing you up to the stone age once all hostages are released.
giving ANYTHING positive for a hostage is a bad idea.
give a 3 year old a candy bar to stop them from crying. it’ll last about as long as the candy bar. then the crying starts again.
the only civilians in Gaza are the hostages. The animals won’t be feeding them anyways.
Concurring bump...this is just a fraction of the humanitarian aid needed in Gaza right now.
Those guilty Irish Catholic schoolchildren are lucky you weren’t around to hold them accountable for their murderous IRA terror of the 70s.
