Jordanian news agencies report that once again, armed gunmen have seized international aid in the Gaza Strip.  Hamas has been caught in the past stealing fuel, medicines and food intended for its citizens at gun point - and then blaming Israel for the "humanitarian crisis".  Interesting that the Jordanians are only concerned when it is aid that THEY send that's stolen.  Meanwhile, UNRWA has asked not to send aid convoys until the issue of the seized convoy is solved.

This theft of international aid destroys the hope of the Palestinian people and their faith in the international community.  Firm action must be taken if there is ever to be any hope of peace in this troubled region.
