Israeli settlers try to block humanitarian aid headed to Gaza.
A group of Israeli settlers attempted to block the passage of much-needed humanitarian aid supplies into the blockaded Gaza Strip, where over two million people are experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe amid Israel's incessant attacks and blockade, which have left them without homes, food, water, electricity and other vital supplies.
The group of settlers gathered near Ashdod Port, roughly 38 kilometers (23.6 miles) north of the Gaza Strip. As Israeli police stood by, the settlers stopped trucks departing from the port, checking documents and inspecting cargo to determine their contents and destination.
One of the settlers, a Jewish resident of Jerusalem, said he came with his family to stop the trucks from supplying oxygen to the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in Gaza.
"Gaza is a state. It's land, it's a country. All the Gaza people, from our side, are terrorists," said the settler, Sharon, who declined to provide a last name. Despite warnings by human rights groups and aid agencies that a "humanitarian catastrophe" is taking place in Gaza, Sharon alleged that the aid, which includes food and fuel, goes to Hamas.
"Why should we send food and fuel to Gaza? It's not normal ... It's not normal that in our land, those people are shooting us," he added.
