U.S aid policy for Gaza “illogical” considering its military support for Israel – UN expert

The United Nations expert has criticised the United States’ actions for attempting to increase help for people in Gaza, like setting up a temporary port and dropping supplies from the air, were called “ridiculous” and “sneaky” as long as Israel keeps receiving military assistance.

Despite warnings of a potential famine five months into Israel’s fight against the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza, the U.S The military has dropped food from the air to help people in Gaza. They also want to make a temporary port to bring in more help by boat.

Air drops of food will not help much to reduce hunger and malnutrition, and they won’t stop famine, according to Michael Fakhri, who works for the UN and talks about people’s right to food. He said this to the media in Geneva.

He said things could get messy when hungry people fight for food. Regarding the port, he said nobody had requested it. He said using the port and air drops methods should only be done if there are no other options left.

“He said that countries use air drops and maritime piers when they want to deliver aid to enemy territory. ”

The United States The diplomatic office in Geneva was not able to reply right away to the comments made late on Friday.

Fakhri, a law professor from Lebanon and Canada, was asked by the UN Human Rights Council to write about and give advice on food security around the world. He said it didn’t make sense to do this while the US is still helping Israel with its military.

The United States The new law proposes giving Israel an extra $17. 6 billion in military help as they continue to fight against Hamas after their deadly October attack. 7 times people have been hurt.

“That’s more than just supporting a friend. ” That’s a wedding. “It’s nearly impossible to understand,” he said about the U. SThe US is giving help to Israel and some people think it’s just for show to please people in the US. “The presidential elections are coming soon. ”

“That’s the only logical way to understand these aid announcements because from a humanitarian, international, and human rights perspective, it’s absurd in a dark and cynical way,” he said.

Fakhri, who often says bad things about Israel on social media, told a group in Geneva that Israel is ruining Gaza’s food supply on purpose. Israel says this is not true and they are not stopping aid from getting to Gaza.
