(Franceinfo)
The United States carried out a first humanitarian airdrop operation on the Gaza Strip on Saturday March 2. 95% of the population is threatened with famine, according to the UN.
In images released by the Egyptian government, shipments of humanitarian aid are dropped on the Gaza Strip. According to the UN, more than 2 million people are threatened with famine in the Palestinian enclave, while each distribution of food is increasingly delicate. Thursday, February 29, when a humanitarian aid truck arrived, the hungry crowd was caught in a stampede, under fire from the Israeli army.
Situations “for which Israelis are accountable” according to Stéphane Séjourné
115 people were killed, according to Hamas figures. The tragedy sparked numerous reactions from the international community, which called for an independent investigation. In an interview with the newspaper Le Monde, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stéphane Séjourné, castigated the IDF: “The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been catastrophic for several weeks, even several months. And this creates indefensible and unjustifiable situations for which Israelis are accountable; Israel must hear this.” The United States has also responded, and is joining in the delivery of humanitarian aid.
