Israel: Abundance of Medical Supplies Sent to Gaza
[Ynet News] Hanan Greenberg - Col. Moshe Levi, head of the IDF District Coordination Office in Gaza, said Wednesday that since the start of the IDF operation, unprecedented amounts of medical equipment have been allowed into Gaza, including medicine and blood units. In addition, ambulances sent from the West Bank and donated from other countries were allowed in. Levi also accused Palestinian Health Ministry officials of preventing the injured from leaving Gaza to receive medical treatment in Israel. "Gaza hospitals have not collapsed, and international organizations have not reported a collapse and even point out that the medical equipment sent there is improving the hospitals' efficient activity. Regarding food as well, we have not received official complaints; there are large amounts of food in the Gaza Strip and there is no crisis in this regard," Levi said. Israeli defense sources said Gazan officials are trying to create a false picture of a humanitarian crisis.
