The “spoiled biscuit” videos that have spread widely on social media in recent hours still worry both Palestinians and Egyptians.
After the World Food Program denied allegations that Egypt sent quantities of spoiled biscuits as part of aid provided to the besieged Gaza population, the Palestinian Red Crescent also broke its silence, revealing that the biscuits’ expiry date expires early next month. , underlining that “this is normal in crises and disasters”.
Marwan Al-Jilani, director of the Palestinian Red Crescent, said that “there are always those who try to fish in troubled waters, and a fifth column”, denying these accusations. During a phone call to the “Al-Hekaya” program on MBC Misr, he explained last night, Saturday, that he had seen some videos showing almost empty trucks, which turned out to be old footage.
As for the “biscuit truck” videos, he explained that they belong to the United Nations World Food Organization, adding that the goods on board were unloaded due to the difficulty of circulating on the roads due to existing potholes. , due to the Israeli bombing.
He also confirmed that the packaged biscuits have not expired, as they still have a month left.
