The Gaza government media office on Friday condemned the discovery of oxycodone pills reportedly discovered in flour bags distributed by “American-Israeli” aid centres.
“We have so far documented four testimonies from citizens who found these pills inside the flour bags,” it said in a statement, warning of the “possibility that some of these narcotic substances were deliberately ground or dissolved in the flour itself”.
Oxycodone is an opioid meant to treat severe and long-term pain, often prescribed to cancer patients.
The drug is highly addictive and can have life-threatening effects, including breathing complications and hallucinations.
The media office’s statement comes after several social media posts shared images of pills purportedly discovered in flour bags in Gaza.
and why the fuck would the israelis do that? if they really wanted to fuck with Palestine they would be mixing much worse stuff. this makes no sense whatsoever.
there is only one, unsubstantiated, hamas run, source for this information – and you’re just blindly believing something that doesn’t make any damn sense. This is a war of a propaganda and you’re just unquestionably believing one side of it.
I personally don’t think it is very likely that they are trying to poison Palestinians.
I find it completely unsurprising that someone is smuggling oxy in to make a quick buck.
In this thread alone I saw someone try to justify it by saying it’s an important medical supply. Something like arsenic or cyanide might do a better job of killing people but then why would people start dropping like flies? Painkillers are a hot commodity around the world so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was meant to be smuggled in and the wrong people discovered it. Given everything Israel has done so far it seems more likely they’re trying to sew chaos rather than an enterprising dealer trying to tap a forgotten customer base.
