Hamas provides more details on aid deal brokered by Qatar, France
Hamas has provided more details on the deal brokered by Qatar and France to deliver medicine to the besieged people of Gaza and Israeli captives held there, Al Jazeera reports.
For each box of medicine provided to the captives, 1,000 boxes will be sent for use by Palestinian civilians, senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk says.
The International Committee of the Red Cross will deliver all the medicines — including those destined for the captives — to hospitals serving all parts of Gaza. The agreement also includes the delivery of additional food and humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Abu Marzouk says Israeli authorities will not have the chance to inspect the shipments. He says Hamas insisted Qatar provide the medication and not France because of the European country’s support for Israel.
