Palestinians demand ‘better methods’ of aid delivery
On the eve of Ramadan, hungry Gaza residents scrambled for packages of food dropped by US and Jordanian military planes.
People dashed through devastated neighbourhoods of Gaza City as the parachuting aid descended. “I have orphans, I want to feed them!” one woman cried.
“The issue of aid is brutal and no one accepts it,” said another resident, Momen Mahra, claiming most of the airdropped items fall into the sea. “We want better methods.”
Humanitarian groups call the method of delivery deeply inadequate compared with deliveries on the ground. But the daily number of aid trucks entering Gaza since the war began is far below the 500 that entered before October 7 because of Israeli restrictions and security issues.
