to approve the absence of 1986 last uprising with exclusive reports. that one across the board of the colanda here say there was this to make sure that goma is protected from around the world. the model has already been banned from running for public office until 2030, but his supporters will show voters that the fear of, of president still have political clout. the u. s. begins and dropping food into casa, as palestinians that faced obligations the agency. so it's an ineffective way to deliver them 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 instead of going to the united states is the latest country to add drop food into does that as fears of famine increase and for the 1st time the us air force power, shoot it in 38000 meals with the promise of more to come but agencies a critical saying the ministry, a lift and not be on. so instead, they want to israel to open more border crossings to allow trucks to drive and is rather accused of limiting a deliveries. despite warnings that many a stopping, the a, the does get in is not merely enough for 2 and a half 1000000 palestinians in gossip. and to complicate the crisis as well as constant that of freedom but makes it difficult and dangerous a to be distributed. so how effective an ad drops. we'll discuss all of this more with, i guess in a moment, but 1st the report from local, some sharif off months. so for length is gloaming on casa, comes 8 from about in the united states. air force has the gun and dropping food in

casa. the mission follows 5 months of war back, but substantial menefee aid from israel as close as allied. the us. the goal has already killed more than $30000.00 palestinians, has led to a humanitarian catastrophe. and warnings of 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 locked on the gaza 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. no meaningful difference. us preston joe biden, to announce the actual plan. after more than 100 palestinians were killed in

northern casa on thursday. witnesses say they were queueing for food when they were shocked by this. riley troops said wilco is that critical of the eye drops calling them in 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 of air list and the 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 a damian f o says also part of suited in food and medical aid. along with egypt, phone's cut the, and the united arab emirates. but the most effective way of delivering humanitarian aid has been deliberately block bye 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 as strikes and ground operations have made it impossible for the safe delivery of fate. would drop in some food and were 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 helping address the diet humanitarian crisis in casa, the total population on the brink assignment dropping aid from the in doesn't address literally problems in the garage. the system should ease on to see the full inside story. let's bring in

a panel of experts from ramallah were joined by bush truck, our lady, 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 up at the 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 stopped with you as you heard and never pulled. 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 unions and others have been able to coordinate, including the last have been able to coordinate some access to that aerospace but it, this does not address the solution. again, it was the same thing during the temporary cause, the 5, the parts this was this is a similar, similar solution were criticized. were criticizing the pause, 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 this. 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 humanitarians 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. so 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 something is getting to those who need it most as well. and then at this stage when then then tied into a national community as 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, 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. those that are the board, the crossings that lead to that goes us, that you have hundreds of trucks messing a mess. and when digits in boulders, and these are the ages of the leading that, that the, the process to do, i know 8 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 tax to, to go inside a book. 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, is related to that as 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, even in conflict times, there should be a good contact 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 and the crowd to go and get the aid. 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 may, that's too far 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. and 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 depression. 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 in the food and the humane way. it will start off pushing, but a steam is to fight over aid and an unintended good guys into 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 say, i say, you know, doing what about medical aid, ad 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 moments or even provide treatment to the people. and you know what i mean, once did i have a drops out, i dropped to the slip, the, i'm not month whether i mean the coordinated with, i mean, so they're all the dogs. so the 3 it more or more curious. 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 talking about the situation of possible 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 when it comes to metric and such context, reservation is man, me. the other is, i thought the agree more with the, with the show on the i mean it's like the very drugs sort or intentional or not is to relieve just for the support. there's a dresser to this, but the stage where it has a criminal justice causing maximum suffering and i to as many people as possible. like for me, i cannot find the words to describe comfortable with the u. s. been responsible for the opening of the crossing. like kind of crossing the it is crossing to end the system as it goes 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, must 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 lot of work on the safe access for 88 workers and listing the fees of the media to spoken of the survey shouldn't go through some interesting for me what's really important for us understand is the surgeon are being starved and 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, i'm going to get 8 for bossing as you read that is stated by the system. i think this was hosted by the surveys limited by the nurse children, especially need to correct the 250. and so there are no can this morning of starvation i'm just hearing for take positions talking about air drops. so you as a, so think about it's difficult and the reason why not because increasing is the zip codes for best foot. it's the so you can get difficult. it's a political decision. and that's what scares decision should be made. no. oh sure. what are we to make of it? but i was this was, they say a drop, but you're signaling a pianist and an attempt to assuage the guilty consciences of us officials. these 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 fluid, 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 post a new 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 co workers and collectively punishments 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 filling in the void and the vacuum of israel's duties and obligation in that portable thinking. the air drops. what a fulfill 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 for anybody getting any of the possible, but this should be part of our humanity and 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 of lover, lovers,

the number so you can use to be able to enter 8 in. and one of which is opening one of the other stuff in costing. so i'm letting the trucks that are full and food and water reading in the, for the book for a couple months. steven. um, so that's my reflections on, on that question. tell me uh to picking up on on the 1st of bushes points that what does this tell us about the us leverage of the israel, as we've heard many times on this program and elsewhere on, i'll just see where 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 by the thousands and all the other. it's dropping food to feed the sabi survivors. it's map this, 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 the impact situation? i mean, we know that is what it has to submit those. so it's sort of put to the i c j

because it's, it's that because it's monday to, to do so. and it seems like is on, is even, does not even care about this fund extent. the problem that the us is orchestra. i think this a to drop a, with some other countries just to, again say phase. what i'd say is that 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, pet ation in the gaza strip. and that's the mind the view. what is the owner was a, it was up to own the, i don't know was being defended. no fort accusations that have not been investigated yet. it's a systematic operation. so what you're seeing here is, it seems like there is a system of the company in all fairness of old, the destroying or diminishing any precedence for aids organization. including owner wants to the creating these, the precedence. what is being dropped?

uh 8 is 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 will comes 1st. the one was, 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 soul said again, 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 the americans can defend themselves. i mean, the us government in particular and but, but again, back to the national, the protection and international humanity. and that's a new, it's some of the fee to have to watch this happening. it's like an adult call me the and it's a sad total feed curiosity to see this happening. and the guys are sort of the

inability of the national system, the u. n. to kick in and, and do something about it. it's it's, it's a feeling that it's, it's a huge fan of, i don't, 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 at the national. busy a weakening it human, they think it, i see it all for the future for, for, for, for you might have to even because of this conduct. yeah, i want to talk to you about the humanitarian lloyd special in just a few moments. a tunnel, but 1st i see is israel actively blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid? my road into gauze off as it argues, 8 agencies at fault. i just want to 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. is facilitating

the transfer of any amount of a requested. the scope of the incoming 8 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 working so hard in securing all these effects and most of them are just keeping the waiting for approval. security approval is resume the design sort in 3, a really complex and we were talking about really look of folks the you and because yesterday of the and he me through an agency that has been really getting everything needed just waiting for along with them. of course and have saying that the humanitarian aid has been written perfectly of the core and the root issue is

a loving, the 8th century integrates. i have been after these will be reading for hours will even days for reading for our truck students are garza and what's making them week is us policies. so for, for us, for you just say that it's not the duty of the default of the return in agencies as opposed to the occupation, well, actually announced that they won't be able 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, i've 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 pulse 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 and 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. but 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 goes to that, and that's what they've vision studies you again, the vision from the an issue on from 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, both 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 goes to the and the us as they know this, the score. i don't see any, a shame in this policy, even in the negotiations process that they're going now to release captives to try to get to a, a 6 weeks a through scan. so that's the us as pollution 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 the famine 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 flip. again, the image results suggesting that the us as we get the best people in does obviously the significance assistance. and that was like

a sense to see if we're going to help them by a we're going to help and by the see this one through mind, the audience is but again, regarding the situation in gaza, instead of stating emergency medical teams or seeing evidence of serious and addition in blood sugar out of those, we're talking about interpretation over 2000000 a some accurate food insecurity. we have $5.00 to $576000.00 people in gus estimated to be experiencing f, a stuffing, the hunger, the most severe phase of actually the piece of extra sweet and security that is more of twice the reason we're talking about one and 6 to the 2 years old and goes to a 15, i noticed 90 percent under 5 suffering from infectious diseases production studies cause evidence protection. so these are estimating $58000.00 additional. okay. over the next 6 months there's no ceasefire. the from injuries both from scratch, excuse me. and my nutrition, they have like

a for the water and the some of, of his classes that are put in security, i say manufacture, date, rape out of time. many thanks to all of you for taking part in the discussion today . brochure for lady telecom boat and a sale 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 with our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash h i inside story. and of course you can join the conversation on x. i'll handle that as a great inside story from the atrium that i can obtain it though hop will see you at the salvation that's being used as a what the only way to stop. so i'm going to tell facing is to allow you then

people are surrounding it, sparks go with the flow or just hard to break it and show us the level of difficulty because of the shortage of human materials aid, we have no blankets, no food, and no router, i prefer the desk to this humiliation. moore is not killed us yet. it seems that we will die of hunger and can't find food. people say that they're stuck between death, star bases and displacements, the a verse, a nature color and meaning. with these really made it to yoke your patients front and center. nothing about this exemption is traditional or permanent or this work place next to younger artists. it's a reminder that there is one under is where the bombardment i think that's something they refuse to die. and certainly they refuse to buy quite

an openings edition, only to be closed after the war. and as it drags on menu on these paintings, maybe a survivor of causes or the israel intensifies attacks on ross for himself and gaza of a nice at least 13 people. acute mccrae, this is l. just air in line from also coming up. thousands of people have been killed or wounded by waiting for the agent cause the city is the latest and a series of israeli attacks on palestinians desperately seeking. and given the amends.
