Eylon Levy: 我主持了本期节目,讨论的是以色列在加沙冲突中的人道主义努力,以及围绕这些努力的各种说法。自10月7日哈马斯发动袭击以来,以色列因加沙的人道主义局势而面临全球谴责。国际社会的指控范围很广,从声称以色列做得不够到指控其蓄意阻挠援助,甚至故意饿死加沙人民,最终导致国际刑事法院对以色列领导人发出逮捕令。然而,这些指控与实地情况严重脱节。战争开始以来,已有超过100万吨援助物资通过五个通道进入加沙,其中包括以色列在哈马斯袭击后开辟的新通道。本期节目邀请了以色列国防部协调政府活动部门(COGAT)的国际发言人Shimon Friedman,就以色列在加沙的人道主义政策、援助物资运输的挑战、以及国际社会对以色列的指控等问题进行深入探讨。 Shimon Friedman: 我是COGAT的国际发言人,COGAT负责执行以色列在约旦河西岸和加沙地带的民政政策,尤其是在战争期间执行加沙的人道主义政策。战争开始以来,以色列从未限制进入加沙的人道主义援助数量,并且一直在努力增加援助通道和运力。目前,加沙共有五个活跃的过境点。我们与国际组织每日会面,协调援助物资的运输。国际组织声称以色列限制援助物资进入加沙的说法是错误的。最大的障碍不是将援助物资运入加沙,而是如何在加沙境内有效分配这些物资。国际组织需要增加卡车数量、司机数量和工作时间,以提高其物资分配能力。抢劫也是一个问题,我们正在努力与国际组织合作,寻找解决办法。以色列的责任是促进援助物资进入加沙,而非直接提供所有援助。我们与包括世界粮食计划署、世界中央厨房和Anera在内的众多组织合作,提供食品、水、医疗用品和住所设备等援助。我们还主动开展了大规模的脊髓灰质炎疫苗接种活动,以预防疾病的发生。至于加沙战争后的重建,这需要以色列政府做出决定,COGAT将执行政府的政策。
