Israel says it is trying to 'flood' Gaza with aid

Israel's military says it is trying to "flood" Gaza with aid as international pressure to address the territory's humanitarian crisis grows.

Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said Israel would facilitate further aid convoys, after a new land route opened up to deliver food to northern Gaza.

The UN has warned that Gaza, under Israeli attack since the war with Hamas began in October, is at risk of famine.

Brussels says starvation is being used as a weapon of war in the territory.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said earlier that land routes had been deliberately closed off to prevent the delivery of aid.

1. The same guys who blocked medical supply kits because surgical

scissors are "dual use" are saying they are trying to flood the area with aid?

Oh, that's believable!

2. They're playing us like a fiddle.

It's time to change the tune. Why sponsor them if we don't get a say?
