Yeah that’s too long unfortunately. Hunger and lack of medical care are going to kill so many that maybe it was part of the plan all along to make it easier to deny
Why don’t you fly to Tel Aviv, buy some food, and take a taxi to the border to walk into Gaza hand out food yourself?
Not a bad idea this is what the IDF should be doing.
Food really isn’t something one needs that quickly unless you’ve got no fat on your body. I remember reading a paper about an obese guy who (voluntarily) fasted under care of a doctor for over a year. Took vitamins, but other than that, just water.
Water, on the other hand, is really important. No water, you’re dead inside a week, maybe a little longer.
Gazans are already chronically malnourished, though, not obese. And some parts of Gaza have been under occupation for months. Babies are already dying and soon children, then adults will follow.
Children have already started dying, too. For example, Yazan Kafarneh: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-children-starving-famine-warning-death-destruction-rcna141813
This was a bad idea along with the airdrops. All because Biden is unwilling to pressure Netanyahu publicly or set any red lines. So now he’s trying to scramble to give aid to one and bombs to another rather than do the simpler move of reigning one side in and allowing them to send in aid. International law says that Israel is required to allow this aid in or help, and they are doing neither.
Yeah this seems crazy. We should just require Israel to set forth and protect a humanitarian corridor. We have a ton of leverage against Israel.
Could those 1000 troops not just use the Rafah crossing to bring things directly in? Israel would be fucking daft to fire on US troops distributing aid.
Daddy Netanyahu told Biden no
2 months seems like a reasonable timeline for a large infrastructure project halfway across the earth from the us. ofc its a horrible situation and they could save a lot more lives if they could just truck aid in.
They can just truck aid in, but they won’t because Biden either is spineless or he just doesn’t care about the babies dying of hunger.
