| The suggestion of allowing air drops is a quick and symbolic gesture by Israel. It’s a way they can respond to real pressure from Western allies, particularly in Europe. It won’t make much difference to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It’s not an efficient way to deliver aid. Air drops in places like Iraqi Kurdistan and Bosnia, have resulted in families being killed by pallets falling from the sky in tented camps. With most of Gaza's population now crowded into a small area of the Gaza Strip, how can they drop supplies safely and make sure people can actually reach them? The only effective solution is a ceasefire and the influx of big lorry convoys into Gaza over many months. Each pallet that lands risks causing a riot, with desperate people rushing to get to it. |
