We’re so close!
The Federal Ministry of the Interior, under Minister Dobrindt (CDU), is blocking the admission of injured children from Gaza. The arguments for this are flimsy: there are security concerns, aid on the ground is more effective, and we’re already providing a lot of financial assistance.
In fact, we are constantly taking in injured and sick children—from Ukraine, from Afghanistan, from Africa—but children from Gaza are being denied help, without any real justification.
Winter is approaching; the UN can barely prevent a famine in Gaza, and the medical infrastructure there has been destroyed. A humanitarian catastrophe is looming, triggered in part by the deafening silence that prevails in Germany. Criticism of the Israeli government is quashed with sweeping accusations of anti-Semitism, and a climate of fear has gripped most of the media as well, so that there is hardly any reporting on the events in Gaza.
Just last week, a little girl in Gaza was forced to watch as her mother was burned alive following an Israeli attack. The girl, now an orphan, suffered burns herself, not to mention severe trauma. She will receive little help.
