Hamas refused on Wednesday to allow the aid equipment that was captured by the IDF aboard the flotilla ships earlier this week to enter the Gaza Strip.
"We refuse to receive the humanitarian aid until all those who were detained aboard the ships are released," said Ahmed Kurd, Minister for Social Welfare in the Hamas government said. "We also insist that the equipment be delivered in its entirety."
Kurd said that Israel's decision to allow a number of wheelchairs to be delivered to the Gaza Strip was a "deception," claiming that the batteries that operate them had been removed by the ID, making them useless.
The Hamas minister said that Israel's decision to send some of the aid that was seized aboard the ships to the Gaza Strip was designed to divert attention from the "massacre" that took place in the sea.

Hi.
I can not even pretend to be surprised,nobody and not a single paper even mentioned the aid goods once the wanted results were obtained .It was never about delivering aid goods it was about starting a conflict.Next they will repeat this as soon as possible with Turkish warships to back them while they have the press momentum.Religion is the opium of the people,no wonder there are so many misguided Muslims around?
More likely Hamas doesn't want to be stuck with all the useless expired medication and outdated equipment either. Wonder where they actually intended for it to end up. Bottom of the harbor at Gaza would be my first guess.
