Israeli assistance measures the gesture ally in the horror of starvation of gas

Israel has responded to a sustainable and growing international condemnation that he is responsible for hunger in gas, announcing a number of measures that Israel’s defense (IDF) stated that “improve the humanitarian reaction”.

This allows airlines to help the first night and allowing the United Arab Emirates Air Force to follow the next Sunday.

IDF also announced that it will allow a “tactical pause in military activity” in some areas and create “assigned humanitarian corridors … to refute the false claim to international hunger.”

Hamas condemned the steps as “cheating”. Israel, he said, was “whitewashing his image in front of the world.”

Later, Israel held a airstrike during a “tactical pause”. The reports from the scene states that a mother called Wafao Harara and her four children Sarah, May, Judy and Iad were killed.

While Israel continues to insist that it is not responsible for the humanitarian disaster in Gaza and does not impose restrictions on the help of gas, these claims are not accepted by its close allies in Europe, or the United Nations and other agencies.

New measures can become a silent intake of Israeli that they need to do more.

Most likely, they are a gesture for allies who have made strong statements that accuse Israel of starving in Gaza.

Last, on Friday, July 25 from Britain, France and Germany.

“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 followed the complete blockade of all the gas with the restriction of the content and movement of the escorts. With the Americans, she has created a new distribution system for assistance through the so-called “Humanitarian Fund” (GHF), designed to replace the United Nations aid. Israel claims that Hamas stole assistance in the UN system. The UN says he is still waiting for the Israelis to support their claims.

The UN and other agencies will not cooperate with the GHF system, which, according to them, is inhuman and militarized. According to the UN, more than 1000 Palestinians were shot dead, trying to get to four GHF.

Colonel of Special Forces retired US, who worked in GHF in Gaza, said the BBC that saw US colleagues and IDF soldiers who opened fire on civilians. Both deny that they aimed at civilians.

Jonathan Wittal, Head of the Occupied Palestinian Areas of the UN Humanities Coordination (OCHA) has already condemned the methods used by GHF. Israel told him that his visa would not be restored after he posted on the social media moon because the GHF system brought the conditions created for murder in gas … What we see is defeat. This is an armed hunger. This is forced relocation. This is a death sentence for people who are just trying to survive. It seems that it causes Palestinian life. “

After Israel announced its new measures, Whittal told the BBC that “the humanitarian situation was never worse.”

He said for new Israel measures to change the issues for the better, he will have to reduce the time needed in order for trucks transported to gas intersection and improve the routes provided by IDF for escort.

Israel will also need to ensure “significant assurances that people who are going to remove food from the back of trucks will not be shot by Israeli.”

Ever since the war has begun, Whittal is coming and leaves from Gaza, although it ends now when Israel does not decide not to give up a visa. He says that as the IDF’s hostilities continue, “remains a troubled disregard for humanitarian law.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Joab Gallant are already the subject of arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court last year, accused of jointly criminal responsibility for “military crime as a war as a method of war; and crimes against humanity in murder. Netanyahu, Gallant and the Israeli state deny the allegations.

Israel released granular footage of the transport aircraft, dropping the pallets in gas. The parachute lines knocked out the back of the plane in the dark of the night. IDF said he put seven aid packages containing flour, sugar and canned food.

In other wars, I saw the planes myself, and closed on the ground, help, and close on the ground.

Air supply is an act of despair. It can also look good on television and spread a tangible factor that is finally done.

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. Even large transport planes do not tolerate as much as a small convoy for trucks.

In the Iraqi Kurdistan, after the 1991 Persian Gulf war, the United States, the United Kingdom and others threw help from the C-130 transport aircraft, mostly the army rations, sleeping bags and surplus winter uniforms, trying to survive in the dirt and snow high in the mountains on the border with Turkey. I flew with them and watched the British and American aviators threw help from the rear cargo ramps of planes in a few thousand feet over the people who needed it.

It was enough to welcome. But when a few days later, when I managed to get to the improvised camps in the mountains, I saw the young people collided 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 the American military “meals ready for food”, dumped from high altitude, scattered throughout the eastern part of the city, which is constantly fired. Some of the aid pallets crashed through the roofs that somehow were not destroyed by artillery attacks.

Professionals involved in assistance operations believe that it rejects help from the sky as an extreme means. 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.

Gaza was one of the most populous places in the world before the war, when the population of more than two million Palestinians had access to the whole lane. In the British plan, the gas strip is slightly smaller than the island of White. Compared to American cities, this is approximately the size of Philadelphia or Detroit.

Now Israel has forced most people gas into the tiny territory on the southern coast, which was about 17% 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.

Aid flights fell parachutes, often landing far from the people who need it.

Each pallet will fight desperate men trying to get food for their families, and criminal elements who want to sell it for profit.
