Israel suggested allowing the air steps to help gas. This is a gesture against the allies that make strong statements accusing Israel of hunger in Gaza.
The latest warnings on Friday, July 25 from Britain, France and Germany were bright.
“We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift the stream restrictions and urgently allow the UN and the humanitarian NGO to carry out its work to take action against hunger. Israel must support its obligations under international humanitarian legislation.”
Israel continues to insist that it does not put restrictions on the help of gas, a statement that is not accepted by close allies, the UN and other agencies operating in Gaza.
In other wars, I saw the planes myself, and closed on the ground, help, and close on the ground.
This is a rough process that will not do much in itself to finish hunger in gas. This can only do the ceasefire and unlimited, long -term help.
In Iraqi Kurdistan, after the Persian Gulf war, the United Kingdom and others threw assistance from the S-130 transport ships, mostly soldiers in the army, sleeping bags and surplus winter uniforms up to tens of thousands living in the open air. I flew with them and watched the British and American air thrown help from the rear cargo ramps of planes, thousands of feet over the people who needed it.
It was enough to welcome. But a few days later, when I managed to get to the camps in the mountains, I saw the young people confronted with minefields to get the help that landed there. Some were killed and crippled in the blast. I saw families killed when heavy pallets dropped on the tents.
When the artist was besieged during the Bosnia war in 1993, I saw the pallets of American military dishes ready to eat, “sank from high altitude, scattered throughout the eastern part of the city, which was constantly fired. Some of the aid pallets crashed through the roofs that somehow were not destroyed by artillery attacks.
Air supply is an act of despair. It can also look good on television and spread a tangible factor that is finally done.
Professionals involved in assistance operations consider the air fall assistance as a last resort. They use it when any other access is impossible. That’s wrong in Gaza. A short ride to the north – Ashdod, a modern container port of Israel. A few more hours is the Jordan boundary that is regularly used as a gas help line.
The drop in help provides very little. Even large transport planes do not tolerate as much as the truck convoy.
Pallets dropped by parachute Often they land far from the people who need it. Israel forced hundreds of thousands of starving Palestinian civilians into the tiny territory on the southern coast of Gaza. Most of them live in densely packed tents. It is unclear whether there is even an open space to send high in the sky.
Now every pallet will fight desperate men trying to get food for their families, and the criminal elements who want to sell it for profit.
