Médecins Sans Frontières calls for Israel to allow for full access of aid ready to be delivered by road, saying airdrops are ‘notoriously ineffective and dangerous’
We are continuing our live coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza as international pressure on Israel to allow more aid into the territory continues to grow amid reports of widespread starvation and malnutrition.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has condemned the use of airdrops to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza, calling the approach “futile” and “cynical”.
Using airdrops for the delivery of humanitarian aid is a futile initiative that smacks of cynicism.
The roads are there, the trucks are there, the food and medicine are there, everything is ready to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza just a few kilometres away.
