The U.S. ** Command said on the 2nd that the United States has begun airdropping humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
In view of the fact that the United States has consistently favored Israel since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States' airdrop of aid to Gaza has been accused by many parties of "hypocrisy" and "showmanship".
Richard Goun, director of the United Nations program at the International Crisis Group, said that airdropping aid is a great photo opportunity, but it is a bad way to deliver aid. He stressed that the only way to receive adequate assistance was to cease fire and bring aid convoys into the Gaza Strip.
Dave Harden, former regional director of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said the U.S. airdrop aid was a "symbolic" and ineffective way to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. The move was "symbolic and aimed at reassuring domestic voters". What the United States should really do is force Israel to open more humanitarian corridors.
The UK-based Medical Aid to Palestinians has also criticized the US airdrop program. The group said the U.S. should urge Israel to immediately open crossings into the Gaza Strip and allow aid workers safe and unfettered access to the Gaza Strip, rather than airdropping aid supplies, which are simply denied to the most vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip.
Scott Paul, head of the U.S. chapter of Oxfam, an international relief organization, said on social media that the U.S. airdrop aid was mainly aimed at alleviating the guilt of the U.S. seniors, who were putting in place policies that contributed to the ongoing atrocities and the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip. He said the meagre symbolic U.S. aid to the Gaza Strip would not do anything without a safe distribution plan. What the U.S. should really do is cut off Israel's efforts to push for a ceasefire, facilitate the release of detainees, and demand that Israel fulfill its obligations to provide humanitarian aid, access and other essential services.
