After the revelations about possible Hamas helpers among the employees of the UN refugee agency for the Palestinians, the debate in Israel is coming to a head. The majority of people reject humanitarian aid to Gaza — and some even block trucks. Our reporter was there.
Three truck drivers honk at the same time, some of the demonstrators cover their ears. But they stay on the street. At the port of the Israeli city of Ashdod, they are blocking aid deliveries that are actually supposed to go to Gaza. This goes on all day long until the truck drivers’ shift is finally over in the afternoon. Honking doesn’t drive them away. Two young men even make a game out of it. They dance around a plastic chair until the noise briefly stops. Then they both try to sit on the chair first: travel to Jerusalem to prevent the truck trip to Gaza.
