Lets go back to what works & let us do our job.

Airdrops are at least 100 times more costly than trucks.

Trucks carry twice as much aid as planes.

If there is political will to allow airdrops which are highly costly, insufficient & inefficient, there should be similar political will to open the road crossings.

As the people of Gaza are starving to death, the only way to respond to the famine is to flood Gaza with assistance.

Aid uptick not enough to even scratch the surface

People are continuing to starve, malnutrition rates continue to go up, people are risking their lives to get food, and theres no change substantially and operationally, really.

1,373 aid-seekers killed in Gaza since May, most by Israeli military

Heartbreaking to hear that a starving child in Gaza, moments after receiving aid, lost their life. Its a stark reminder that aid isnt just about suppliesits about security and political will. When will we prioritize safety over agendas Source:

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a bid to salvage Gaza truce talks and tackle a humanitarian crisis caused by Israel's war in the enclave.

The Israeli military killed at least 51 people in attacks across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, including at least 23 people while seeking aid.

Gazas starvation crisis shows no signs of abating, with at least two more babies and one young man dying of hunger under Israeli-imposed starvation, medics said. The hunger-related death toll since the start of the war on Gaza now stands at 154, including 89 children.

Its a tragic irony that a child receives aid only to be lost moments later. This highlights the urgent need for lasting solutions, not just temporary fixes. When will we prioritize stability over chaos Source:

Many women in Gaza are feeding malnourished babies food their bodies may not be ready for in an attempt to stave off starvation.

Israels new measures do nothing to stop. Explanations from customs officials for rejected or delayed into was rare humanitarianstry to guess what was allowed dates & olives were consistently thrown out by Israeli customswithout explanation. After poolingexperiences with other aid groups, they realised the common denominator was fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted date paste & pitted olives were let in...

At least 91 were killed & more than 600 wounded while attempting to get in the past 24 hours, the Health Ministry said on Thursday. This includes 54 people killed while awaiting in northern Gaza near the Zikim crossing on Wednesday, the ministry said. The toll is expected to rise further as many of those killed or wounded were brought to isolated, undersupplied hospitals in northern Gaza & have not yet been counted.

Watch out for bullets

envoy Witkoff & US Ambassador Huckabee will inspect food distribution in

Trumps special envoy arrived in on Thursday to discuss the worsening situation in Gaza, as the death toll of waiting for & other continued to climb. The White House said Witkoff & Ambassador will inspect food distribution in Gaza on Friday.

Why is it so hard to get distributed in

Those who keep up with the periodical reports of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs ( ) are aware of how much of the infrastructure has been bombed to rubble, including the road network and how desperate people have become after Israel blocked all aid entering Gaza for months, leading to a complete breakdown of civil order.

But the perpetrators are enjoying to make fun of the painful struggle of international aid organizations:

"The Kerem Shalom is not a McDonalds drive through where we just pull up and pick up what weve ordered," Stphane Dujarric, a U.N. spokesperson, told reporters Wednesday, referring to the primary aid crossing from into Gaza. "There are tremendous security impediments."

"And, frankly, I think theres a lack of willingness to allow us to do our work," Dujarric added.

Ceasefire needed to address Gazas humanitarian crisis:

Most Gaza newborns are underweight and undersized due to malnutrition.

Hundreds of aid trucks must enter the Gaza Strip daily.

Israel is required to provide safe passage for aid trucks.

Aid to Gaza must reach UN warehouses for distribution.

Gazas desalination plants are destroyed, leading to the spread of disease due to water contamination.

I want to call for the cessation of the activities of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the militarised distribution of humanitarian aid that has generated a bloodbath in distribution lines in Gaza, which is a scandal, which is shameful, and has to stop.

Jean-Noel Barrot, French Foreign Minister

Desperation grows as Gazas aid warehouses remain empty

The little aid getting into Gaza is not enough to stop Israels policy of starvation.

The United Nations humanitarian affairs agency says people are still dying of hunger and malnutrition.

Footage shared online shows scenes of children and elderly residents racing to collect rice mixed with sand after being airdropped on the besieged Gaza Strip.

Gaza death toll rises

At least 101 Palestinians, including 81 aid seekers, have been killed and 625 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry.

Israels war on Gaza has killed a total of 60,239 Palestinians and injured 146,894 others since October 7, 2023.

Air-drop operations failed to reach those in need.

Four of six air drops landed in areas under Israeli military control or neighbourhoods where civilians had been ordered to evacuate.

Anyone in these areas faces direct targeting and killing, making the air drops not only futile but also dangerous to the starving population.

Israel allowed 109 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip but most were looted during escalating security chaos.

Gaza requires at least 600 aid trucks and fuel daily to meet civilians basic needs as famine spreads.
