facing about child abuse is you have thought i am a human being and i think we need to help each other. and also showcase is the incredible story of the football. this is the flight of dennis done to escape the time of the generation for episode one of the u. s. begins and dropping food into casa, as palestinians that faced obligations the agency. so it's an ineffective ways of deliver much needed assistance. so kindly alice to make a big difference for the so many desperate to each. this is inside story, the other welcome to the program. i'm adrian funding in the united states is the latest country to add drop food into does have as fears of famine increase and for the 1st

time the us air force power, shoot it in $38000.00 meals with the promise of more to come. but agencies a critical saying the ministry and lift and not be on. so instead, they want israel to open more border crossings to allow trucks to drive and is rather accused of limiting a deliveries. despite warnings that many of stopping the a, the does get in is not nearly enough for 2 and a half 1000000 palestinians in gaza. and to complicate the crisis as well as constant but of frequently bought but makes it difficult and dangerous a to be distributed. so how effective an ad drops, we'll discuss a little bit more with, i guess at the moment, but 1st a report from local, some sharif off months. so for length is blowing on casa, comes 8 from above. the united states air force has begun and dropping food and casa, the mission follows 5 months of war back, but substantial mid the aid from as well as close as allied. the us,

the bowl has already killed more than $30000.00 palestinians, has led to a humanitarian catastrophe, and warnings, a small starvation. the us is accused of doing too little too late. the united states, which is a full partner in israel's genocide alonso locks on because a strip and which is a full partner in the seat of the cause. a strip is seeking to divert attention from its role and from israel's role. and seeking to provide legitimacy to the siege by dropping a few 1000 meals ready to eat from the sky, which again, everyone who has looked at says this is a drop in the bucket, and we'll make them off know meaningful difference. us preston, joe biden announced the actual plan after more than 100 palestinians were killed in northern casa on thursday. witnesses say they were queuing for food when it was shot by israeli troops. said well,

so is that critical of the eye drops calling them efficient and effective? you only resort to that when there is something on the ground that is blocking you from using better forms of transportation, air list and air drops in particular, are the worst of the cost of the worst possible way to deliver it. the very expensive they are, they're dangerous because there's a lot that can go wrong with those things drop and they deliver very small volume of they did you damian f o says also publish suited in food and medicaid aid along with egypt. phones cut the on the united arab emirates, but the most effective way of delivering humanitarian aid has been deliberately block that as well. only to border crossings are open and lendy is rarely security . checks have held up trucks with crucial supplies, and continuing is rarely strikes and ground operations have made it impossible for the safe delivery of fate. but we're dropping some food and we're dropping the

bombs and the, and the tanks and the built bullets and everything else at the same time. that's what he's got to do. stop sending the money and the weapons. the united nation says, simon is in as a to the, the majority of goes us 2400000 people already depending on who man to try to eat before the again, the us says it's healthy, good for us to die or humanitarian crisis in process. there's sort of population on the brink assignment dropping aid from the in doesn't address literally, problems in the garage and the system should ease on to see the full inside story. let's bring in a panel of experts from romano were joined by bush. luckily the, the policy lead in the occupied palestinian territory. it israel from fox from

joining us here in doha is telecomm moods. a professor of public policy, a bo hot institute for graduate studies. he specializes an international aid and also in rama is a feel by doing the acting director of advocacy and campaigns for the charge. the medical aid for palestinians. welcome to your bushel that start with you as you heard. and that report the edge off has been widely criticized by 8 groups. why is that? is it not the most effective way to quickly get in food a disturbing people? well, i mean, we're talking about 2200000 people. so, you know, let's just do some basic math. we're talking about, you know, 3 meals a day, 3 times to about, you know, 7000000 to 8000000 meals a day to air drops. i mean, does that sound, you know, to, i think a normal person that sounds and effective and not extremely easy to do, particularly the 1st one is real controls. the aerospace is great that there's been

negotiations on this. and the damian's and others have been able to coordinate, including the last so been able to coordinate some access to that aerospace, but it does not address the solution. again, it was the same thing during the temporary cause, the 5, the parts this was this is similar to similar solution were criticized, were criticizing the cause, but the pas brought in effectively nothing to guys ends except a few more trucks. but look at us as 5 months time, the lines for the beginning of the work. and we are at the brink assignment, we have 10 children that have died from starvation last week. and, and again, the humanitarians are being used and the humanitarian crisis is being leverage of a solution to all of us. when really the solution to all of this is a longstanding, 17 year old blockade on is on gas up and the military occupation that policy makers have not been wanting to deal with. and again, this is another, you know,

clear show that they will not address the root causes. and instead to find technical solutions to address the humanitarian crisis until this situation has been painted as a humanitarian crisis, when effectively this is a political issue. and the solution is a political one, and we, as you might attain, should not be used to address a political solution. we should a company, a political solution, has been no political solution yet reached despite the fact that millions of poses of uh, global citizens, including world leaders around the world. and policymakers have been calling for a cease fire for the last 5 months, including calling for a stop to as a sale of arms. because effectively, if you get a ceasefire, then you can get the trucks and then you can get the humanitarian workers. and then we can do our job. um, still the air tops. we still cannot do our job. but the situation on the,

on the ground remains exactly the same time a professor. do you agree they may not be effective, but at least some thing is getting to those who need it most as well as in, at this stage when then then thought international community has for the, for the stands. i mean, of course, i mean getting some food to the, to the, to the rest of the guys and so stuck in the north. i mean, it's ok, but it's sweet. it's not enough. i mean to let me put it in this way. i mean that, that is what i have full control of the board. there's that on the board, the crossings that lead to that goes a step. you have hundreds of trucks messing a mess and when digits in boulders, and these are the ages of dealing that, that the, the process to, to allow it to enter. and the just allowing the mental unlimited number of 8 to enter is that are could easily afford exact and opened, comfortable selling crossing, which leads to guys on the north and that all trucks to, to go inside of but,

but that's what's happening. i mean, what's, what's, what's happening now, we see that they have noticed as being caught on as related from the rest of the gaza strip. that the standards were left over to what i mean. the, there's the being installed now, and there is no set and all that. and that's very important when we talk about a delivery unit and conflicts times the should be a good conduct of delivery means you do no harm, you try to do your best to not to do any on. so what's happening now when you add a prop these, a deliveries, and basically it's a sort of 5 out of the 50. so you put people to the situation where they had us on the call to go and get the 8. so it's like 1st come, 1st serve and then you see incidence. so then sort of people also getting injured that happens and even short path by these ladies. so it's a us by design. why? and the solution is very clear on all of us. it's less than all the selections on aids opening the board this and most importantly, they made up says fire because you cannot deliver aid what the order has been

ongoing. and that's the thing. so i think what's happening is more or less is, is a show. it's an insult on it's like adding more salt on to the end, the to, to, to the injury it when, when these countries influential countries especially that the us, the results. so this means just more of this tool is a face the position and say when we're trying to do something, but the, the, the function of obstacles existing on the, on the control bye, is that i. and the only way to do with is to pressure is it is to remove and left the some selections and also allow agencies to do the work. and it goes up until just to be with the 8 and the food. and the humane way. it will start off pushing, but a steam has to fight over 8 and i'm done and good guys and to a jungle, what people are on the left of that just to find food. and that's the, this is the way we all know. i see, i see nothing. what about the medical a to add drops at least an effective way to ensure that vital medicines of life

saving medical equipment. get into guys that quickly. yes. and to be a but but, but, but the, that's the minds of you was the entire house. the system in augusta has been demolished the only few hospital, the only one or 2 hospitals left them. don't know what approximately oh, but i think most of the doctors have been exposed to the south or even left that goes to that. so who is gonna process these? me the construct minutes or even provide treatment to the people. and you know what i mean, once did i have a drop slot, i dropped to the slip, the, i'm not marked whether i mean the not coordinated with any. so they're all the dogs . so the 3 of more or more pos. okay, let's, let's, let's say from, from a sale, then i saw, you know, doing an agreement. what do you think about that? i think the question by itself is the magic. we know that we are and we're talking

about the situation of possibly risk of genocide. and there drops usually are used when there is a natural disaster. and the only way to reach the people because of financial reasons is by here. and what you're seeing here for me is a couple of metric in such context reservation as man me. the other is, i thought the agree more with the, with the business to the i mean, it's like the very drugs sort are intentional or not is to release this from the supporters of the dresser to this. but the stage where it has a criminal justice causing maximum suffering and the i to as many people as possible. like for me, i cannot find the words to describe, come through with a u. s. been responsible for the opening of the crossing like kind of crossing the it is crossing to end the system. i think i have to insurance company will start patients and they just decide not to just drop age from the time. i mean, some of this age and the see and the most one of those people who are talking about

anyways, people are most really, really like, there's think they're hungry, they're injured, they cannot speak to any we what of others. they get to imagine you being start intentionally thing that's going to be under bombardment, and then you have to read for some kind of a to be dropped from the sky and misspelled your good suit. what trying to give this age. so for me, the international committee is actually expanding a lot of levels, just ensuring that to us, if you need to open the coffee and let us do a little break on the safe access for 88 workers and listing the fees as they need you to spoken on the survey shouldn't go through some interesting for me, what's really important for us to understand is the surgeon are being starved. the fastest street the world has ever seen and the risk and this to model if only they have the political will to do so. and for us, and then they can 8 for bossing as you read that is stated by the system. i think

this was tuscan, for the surveys made by the nurse. children, especially need to correct the 250. and so there are no can this morning of the start patients with us having 4 take positions. so think about it, drops the u. s. a. so think about it's difficult and the reason why not because increasing is difficult for best foot is the so you can get difficult, it's a political decision, and that's what it's going to decision should be me know, for sure. what are we to make of it? but of course this was, they say, i dropped books. you sick telling a pianist don't attempt to assuage the guilty consciences of us officials whose policies are contributing to the ongoing atrocities in farming as one of your colleagues at ox from put it? yeah, i mean we, we, we know that the us has leverage. and we know all the leverage that give us can have on the situation and the us is choosing not to use that leverage. so how are

we supposed to understand that otherwise? and it states think that by air dropping food, they are being themselves from their duties and obligations a 3rd space in accordance with the i c, j order. i am very confident that it is likely not the case that they are absolving any of their duties obligations by air dropping aid. in fact, they should be using that they should be implementing real measures to put pressure on israel. this does not put pressure on israel. in fact, actually it absolved israel's from his duties and obligations to protect the civilian population. and both by israel occupies the posting and civilian population in gaza. and as an occupier, it has clear duties and obligations to protect and serve the posting in population in garza by providing them with the basic essentials to survive. it's not doing so it's doing the complete opposite. in fact, it's using starvation techniques to course and collectively punishment, punish an entire civilian population. and so not abiding by its own duties and

obligations in the same breath as allies are doing are supporting it by. * a filling in the void and the vacuum of israel's duties and obligation, and that's what i'm thinking, the air drops. what a full feel. these duties and obligations under international law. absolutely not. and what i think one more point is air drops should come with a full response, right? air drops should be used and you know, it's, it's, we have to make it very clear. we're not against air drops. of course not. we're, you know, all or anybody getting any of the possible, but this should be part of a huge amount of time response. right now we don't have a meaningful response, airport and abrupt should be, should not be even like considered at this point because there's so many other or options, elaborate lubbers number. so you can use to be able to enter 8 in one of which is opening one of the other solvent costing. so i'm letting the trucks that are full

and food and water weaving in the for the, for a couple months even. um, so that's my reflections on, on that question, kind of picking up on, on the 1st of bushes points that what does this tell us about the us us leverage of the israel, as we've heard many times on this program and elsewhere on which is 0, the us could stop as well as well today by cutting off supply the supply volumes to what is ram and using it's, it's leverage. so on the one hand it supplying the bones that are coming in as people buy the filings and all the other, it's dropping food to feed the starving survivors. it's map that, isn't it? correct? it's, it's, it's, it's really outside of madness. and it's um and you know, what's, what's that about that, that situation, i mean, we know what that is, what it has to submit. also it's sort of put to the i c j because it's a, it's that because it's monday to do so. and it seems like is what it is even does not even care about this for an extent. the problem that the us is orchestra. i

think this a to drop a, with some other countries just to, again say phase of it and say it has allowed us in coordination and coordinated with us to allow this happening. you know, and the, and again, i mean the key question here is that before this war, i mean there was a very strong owner. well, patient in the gaza strip. and that's a mind the view. what is the owner was a, it was up to own what i don't know was being defended. no fort accusations that have not been investigated yet. it's a system ethical patient. so what you'll see here is, it seems like there is a systematic campaign or 1st of all the this throwing or diminishing any precedence for a organization, including owner wants to the, creating these precedents with, as being dropped. uh, aids being dropped uh uh, from a to please and the gaza strip. and then the what. and then creating this

k is in, in, in the population to be human, eyes them turned them into name as a fights in times of force that left use this. when you see the scenes, i mean people fighting over a well comes 1st. the one who loves the has i, i have a chance to survive and that's by itself. this is old human may treasure the it's by design. and that's so said i gain. yes, we know the pursuit of the us, i, i'm, i'm, i'm in no position to defend the u. s. i mean that you, i, money comes gonna defend themselves. i mean the us government in particular and but, but again, back to the national, the protection and the dimensions, you might have dense and that's a new, it's some of the fee to, to watch this happening. it's like an adult call me the end. it's a sub total secrecy to see this happening and the guys sort of the inability of the national system, the u. n. to kick in and do something about it. it's it's, it's a pain that it's, it's a huge fan of, i, i, what about the future?

i mean, we will see a similar situation happening in other countries because garza is, has become a precedent and has become a case study of, of d and d. legalizing it the national. busy busy busy weakening it human. anything good. i see it all of the future. 4444. you might have to even because of this contact. yeah, i want to talk to you about the humanitarian lloyd special uh in just a few moments. uh, a ton of but 1st uh, i see is israel actively blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid? my road into guys off is it argues 8 agencies at fault. i just wanna read you a quote here from a spokes person. these really embassy in london who said recently the israel is enabling the entrance of humanitarian. it's into the gaza strip and is facilitating the transfer of any amount of a requested. the scope of the incoming aid is limited only by the handling capabilities of the you and other agencies within the gaza strip claims regarding

the fluid situation and cause an accurate that are intended to divert the focus from the ongoing failure of these organizations in handling and managing the distribution of aid to the residents who need it. what do you make of that? i mean, we haven't reckoned so hard is security. all these effects and most of them are just coming in the waiting for approval. security approval is resume the design for in 3, a really complex and we're talking about really look of fox the you and because yesterday of the and he me through an agency that has been really guessing everything needed. just rating along with him. it's course another thing that the humanitarian that it has been written 1st 60 of the core and the root issue is a loving to a venture integrates. i have been equities will be waiting for hours or even days

for reading for our truck. students are garza and what's making them break is us policies. so for us, for you just say that it's not the the duty of the default of the return in agencies itself. the occupation will actually announce that they won't be people in garza to be, to use a starvation as a look at the floor. so this is my response as well. sure. i, i know you want to pick up on that, but i'll add a question to, to, to that the by the administration says, but it's also considering shipping a directly to guys or from cypress by boat. i mean, it's not a viable alternative disguise or even have a functioning pause right now. once it gets to the port, it's going to face the same problem, isn't it? who, who distributes the aid? i mean again, i mean i, you know, i, i totally agree with this use point. i think again the main duties and obligations i mentioned, i shall or israel israel's occupier. and therefore israel has clear duties and

obligations to the ocoee be occupied. people it occupies in gaza. so that needs to be made very clear when you know, we, we, we talk about, you know, who has responsibility, who has the greater responsibility. sure, the humanitarian community also has a responsibility. we also have a responsibility of duty of care to our staff and to our colleagues sending our colleagues to deliver food and provide medical aid and medical supplies. um under bon, is that principle? what do we do? we, i mean, we are having, you know, we have questions within the minds of inquiry. we are conversations about how are we reaching our duty of care to our staff as well by, by, you know, asking them to work and deliver food during these times when the bombs are raining on them. of course not, we should not be something or teams. so it's been, you know, so the, the, i mean beyond is really just is really restrictions. let's just talk about the relentless compartment that's been happening over the gotten a strip of the last 5 months. that's also impeded our work. not only in terms of

the, the amount of band damage on roads which makes it, you know, which delays the entire, you know, uh, a delivery process. but also the fact that there are live bombs. but while trucks are, are, are on their way to deliver aid. so you know, really a ceasefire is the 1st step to have a meaningful you might have respond to last without a ceasefire, without you know, the crossings in place without all this restriction, no meaningful. you might intend responsible happen in the plaza. ok, tom, i'm in a few remaining minutes. we've got a laptop. try to get one more question to see you as well. but going to come back to the politics of this and under the motives of, of the us in, in an dropping aid in its entry and findings. the international court of justice found that at least some of his rails actions in does appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the genocide convention of as we have established on this program for nations. the provide israel with support could be found to be

complicit if the court ultimately finds that israel has committed genocide. could the us argue that by add dropping aid? it isn't compresses in any active genocide? yes, of course. i mean, i could also defend days that i didn't say this happened in coordination with is that on is what i thought out. this will happen. and this means that is what it is doing. it's best to allow aid input that goes to that. and that's what they've vision studies you again, the vision from the an issue on from the, the other a huge crimes on the ground. busy so, so, so the, the u. s. as default since the beginning of this war is basically 2 choices, 2 things, 2 strategies buying more time to is that i'm, i'm protecting, is that i'm using the us as an influence on the voltage. and also the v 2 followed in the u. n. to stop and your to block any attempts by the international community to stop this war. and to allow agencies blacked into the slip and the u. s. as they

know this, the score, i don't see any, a shame in this policy, even in the negotiations process that, that boeing now to release captives uh to try to get to uh, a 6 weeks uh, through scan. so that's the us position so far. okay. i say we have about a minute left on the program as a final thoughts. just remind us once again as if we needed reminding about the situation in gaza in terms of people's suffering right now, how close to funding is garza what's needed by how many people right now, just because so think about it. just one to 2 and the drugs i think that it's some kind of, again, the image results suggesting that the us as we get the best the button does receive the signal if assistance. and that was like a sense to see if we're going to help the air we're going to help. and by this the, this one through mind, the audience is but again,

regarding the situation in gaza. it's devastating emergency medical teams are seeing evidence of serious and addition in the those we're talking about interpret pollution over 2000000. it's an accurate food insecurity. we have 5 to 576000 people in does estimated to be experiencing f, a stuffing. the congress, the most severe phase of actually the piece of extra security that is more of twice the reason we're talking about $1.00 and $6.00 to the 2 years old and goes to a 15. i noticed 90 percent under 5 suffering from infectious diseases production studies. conservative production studies are estimating $58000.00 additional. okay. over the next 6 months there is no ceasefire. the from injuries both from scratch as much as new and new kitchen. they have like a for the water and the same above and hit the price is the premium security

a sale, manufacture, date, rape out of time. many thanks to all of you for taking part in the discussion today brochure for lady telecom booth and a seal by doing and as always, thank you for watching. you can see the program again at any time by going to the website, but you'll find it out just 0. don't com. for further discussion, you're welcome to join us on facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash h i. inside story out. of course, you can join the conversation on x, i'll handle that as have a great inside story from the atrium that i can obtain it. though hop will see you at the, the the the
