As Fatah officials announce their plans to be part of the Gaza flotilla scheduled for the end of May – marking the one-year anniversary of the Mavi Marmara incident – a Red Cross official in the region brings into question the need for any humanitarian aid in Gaza:
“There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.” So states categorically Mathilde Redmatn, the deputy director of the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip.
“If you go to the supermarket, there are products,” she said, as reported on the IDF website. “There are restaurants and a nice beach. The problem is mainly in maintenance of infrastructure and in access to certain goods such as concrete. Israel has the legitimate right to protect [its] civilian population, this right should be balanced with the right of 1.5 million people living in the Gaza Strip.”
What do you think?

The article regarding Red Cross: there is no a humanitarian crisis and Mathilde Redmatn Red Cross Official is a false report. I called the ICRC Headquarters and they could not find a Mathilde Redmatn in their directory and said there is no such title as “Deputy Director of Gaza”.
I reported these findings to other leading Organizations associated with the Red Cross to request they send out an accurate statement in response to the article circulating.

When East And West Meet, I saw satan fall from heaven like lightning. We need to offer the anointed, and call down Moses, and Eligah. Bringing up the drie dead bones from the past, will cause the dead in Christ to rise first, with evething caught up to Yeshewa of Yerlusalm. So Be It, with our Heavenly ABBA.
