“We need an urgent procedure now,” said Ross Smith, director of emergency alert and response to the United Nations International Food Program (WFP. Gaza “Contrary to anything we saw in this century. It reminds us of the previous disasters in Ethiopia or Piavra in the last century.”

“A scenario of the worst case for famine is revealed in the Gaza Strip,” read on alert issued by the classification of integrated food security (IPC). The United Nations Hunger Control Initiative concluded that escalating evidence shows that “hunger on a large scale, malnutrition and disease are leading to a rise in hunger -related deaths.”

He added: “The latest data indicates that the thresholds of famine have been reached for food consumption in most of the Gaza Strip and severe malnutrition in Gaza City.”

Most of the population is more than two million people from the already crowded Gaza Strip, which is 365 square kilometers (141 square miles), currently live in very crowded refugee camps in a more limited area because the Israeli army declared large parts of the fried Zones.

Prime Minister Israel Benjamin Netanyahu I recently announced that there was no hunger policy in Gaza, and there is no hunger in Gaza.

“Inactive and dangerous”

Since the weekend, members of the international community have been trying to find ways to alleviate the sharp misery in Gaza. Sunday, Jordan And the United Arab Emirates highlands are 25 tons of aid in Gaza. Germany and France also announced Airdrop missions.

“This work may only make a small contribution to humanitarian aid, but it sends an important signal: We are here, we are in the region,” said Germany’s advisor, Freders Mirz.

Relief organizations expressed their dissatisfaction.

“The use of Airdrops to deliver humanitarian aid is a useless initiative that is directed from mockery,” said Jean -Jay Fateo. He said that the air drops were “ineffective and dangerous.”

The Berlin -based Human Labor Center (CHA) said that it is “the most meaningful air transport at all” in addition to “symbolic policy and money waste”. Its director Ralph Sodheov said that the air was 35 times more expensive than land convoys.

Air drops do not reach those who need more help than others

Marfin Forder, an emergency relief expert at the German Charitable Society, Wildonjalf, described the air drops “symbolic” and “ineffective”. He told DW that one of the main problems of the approach is that “aid” will decrease to a high -risk environment, without coordination, without a dedicated drop area and without safety structures.

He added that it is likely that it does not reach Those who need it more But those who were “still mobile enough to fight in the rubble and crowded streets to reach a place where the aid was dropped and then equipped.”

Almost every day, The Palestinians were killed in an attempt to reach food in the few positions He runs controversial Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF).

Supported without the profitability of the United States by the administration of President Donald Trump and the Israeli government and was created to distribute humanitarian aid after Israel banned the US Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) from work in Gaza and the other Occupied Palestinian regions Earlier this year. However, it failed to provide security: the United Nations accuses the Israeli army of shooting people standing in the classroom. This week, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volcker Turk said that “more than a thousand people have been killed since the end of May while trying to get food.”

At least 600 trucks of the necessary assistance daily

International NGOs He called Israel to allow the entry of aid without obstacles to Gaza and the organizations that were used to provide supplies in about 600 distribution centers to allow the resumption of their activities.

At a press conference in Berlin, Rayd Oman, an expert in the Middle East at the German Human Rights Organization, explained that before October 7, 2023, the residents of Gaza and its economy were provided from 500 to 600 trucks per day.

He added, “Today, even 600 trucks per day will not be sufficient to meet the demand because the infrastructure and basic health care system has not been destroyed systematically in Gaza, but also in agriculture.”

The truck can usually carry about 20 tons of aid, which includes medical supplies and drinking water, as well as food.

Israel had allowed some aid trucks to enter Gaza since Sunday, due to international pressure. The Israeli military body, which is easy Gaza Strip Wednesday.

On October 7, 2023, the militant Palestinian organization agitation Other groups have killed more than 1,200 people in Israel in a coordinated attack. They also took 250 hostages to Gaza. Israel launched a counter -attack He announced that it would destroy Hamas. The Ministry of Health in Gaza says at least 60,000 people died, at least 147 of hunger.

After violating the ceasefire agreement in March, Israel prevented all aid supplies to Gaza for more than 80 days. Now, Israel says it is temporarily monitoring daily fighting in parts of Gaza and once again allowed the delivery of aid across the ground. ITamar Ben-Gvir criticized this, saying that he is closer to providing life support for the enemy.

“There is a great evidence that Israel uses hunger as a war weapon,” said Julia Dorcou, Secretary -General of the German Department of Amnesty International. The German government called for stopping the supply of weapons with Israel and increasing diplomatic pressure on the Israeli government.

“Caravan can start within hours”

The Israeli government has deprived many international NGOs from reaching Gaza. Forder told that Welthungerhilfe can only provide assistance through local partners, saying that a permanent ceasefire was very important and that the border crossings should have been opened to allow humanitarian assistance. He said that if that happens, Welthungerhilfe can help from Jordan.

He pointed out that “caravans can start within hours, as soon as political conditions are allowed on the ground.”

On the contrary, he said that the air drops will call for the logistical reorganization that will be expensive.

“It is very interesting to be considered now, at a time when the government wants to reduce humanitarian aid by 53 %,” said Forder. “In such a situation, it is difficult to spend millions on symbolic and ineffective air drops.”

The German Air Force is already some experience in dropping aid in Gaza. In the spring of 2024, A400M military transport plane flew Airdrop missions for 10 weeks, dropping 315 tons of aid supplies in total.
