According to Yedioth Aharonoth, 738,000 tons of humanitarian aid entered Gaza in 2009—about half a ton per person, including babies. Smuggling through 400 tunnels and commercial imports must have dwarfed even that amount.
More than 10,000 Gazans entered Israel for medical treatment. Most of them, we may add, enjoyed free medical assistance implicitly paid for by Jewish patients.
Gaza remains the world’s largest recipient of foreign aid at approximately $1,100 per head annually.
