The help that comes to Gaza through the air – and with dropper – has also become a business opportunity for some people. As reported by the Ministry of Defense and Foreign Affairs of Spain, During Friday, the Spanish government sent a total of 12 tons of food to Gazawhich was transported and launched with parachute from an A400m aircraft of the Air and Space Army.
Many of those packages contained all kinds of food, mainly Children’s snacks, cookies, coffee, chocolate or flavors. Well, some of these food packs that were ‘delivered’ to the population of Gaza, in some cases fell into the hands of merchants that now sell them.
As reports EFE, One of these merchants published a message offered In exchange for 90 euros: “This bag (a sealed package) contains 24 cookies (salty, sweet and dried), coffee-ball, chocolate and nuts, children’s snacks and juices of flavors,” reads his message. In the event that someone wants to acquire them individually, each piece is sold for 6.50 euros.
And it is known that it corresponds to one of the food packs sent by Spain since in the attached image In the message you can read the “food ration” phrase And in it the logo and name of the Spanish company Jomipsa, dedicated to the manufacture of this type of emergency kits.
According to this person, many of these packages fell into the towns of Jan Yunis and deir to Balah. And despite The intention to launch these packages is to feed the population and try to alleviate the famine That the strip, international organizations such as the UN and the UNRWA have criticized these types of practices, since they consider it face, ineffective and insufficient.
In this sense, the director of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, said through his X account that the help by land and through trucks is much more efficient, since it is 100 times cheaper than through airplanes and transports twice the load.
In the case of Spain, the Government said that about twenty boxes were sent, that suppose about 5,500 rations of food. Meanwhile, Gazati authorities and organizations ensure that the entry of food through trucks is being seriously diminished, and the minimums that Israel had established a week ago are not being fulfilled.
