"This is just over 10 percent of the daily needs of the people in Gaza. The relief goods that are now sent are a mockery of the massive tragedy, which takes place under our eyes," Lazzarini posted the amount with the 600 to 800 truck loads that came to Gaza every day during a weapon rest.

"The current mass of masses can be stopped. Political will is needed," he added.
