MSF Criticizes Use of Airdrops for Aid Delivery in Gaza Crisis
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) condemns airdrops as a 'futile' and 'cynical' approach for delivering aid to Gaza, urging Israel to allow road access for humanitarian supplies. International pressure mounts amid reports of starvation and malnutrition in the region.

Using airdrops to deliver aid is considered a futile and cynical initiative by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Gaza. MSF's emergency coordinator, Jean Guy Vataux, criticized airdrops as ineffective and dangerous, advocating for aid delivery by road instead. Vataux emphasized the readiness of humanitarian aid and the need for Israeli authorities to facilitate its arrival safely.
Israel reported distributing aid through trucks and airdrops, with charities deeming the aid insufficient for Gaza's population. Stay tuned for more updates on Israel's war on Gaza and the aid delivery situation.
