The Israel Defense Forces says it supplied 300 liters of fuel for “urgent medical purposes” at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but Hamas prevented the medical center from receiving it.

Early this morning, troops placed the jerrycans near the hospital, as had been coordinated in advance with officials at Shifa.

    And no one is even commenting on the elephant in the room. 300 liters of diesel!

    Am I the only one who thinks this is a ridiculously low amount?

      Not big surprise jpost and timesofisrael are the only ones reporting on this.

      If you need any more evidence of media bias, here it is.

      BBC confirms the head of surgery on the hospital already mentioned, this is enough for about half an hour of generator power.

      It was delivered by Jerry can, by hand from troops in the area. They coordinated the drop with the hospital and apparently Hamas. Presumably if this worked they could have arranged for a more regular supply. But that’s 2 barrels of fuel. You could run quite a bit off that.
