The Gaza Strip is threatened by famine after more than five months of war. In this context, each food distribution turns out to be delicate.
Images released by the Egyptian government show humanitarian cargoes being dropped from a plane on the Gaza Strip. According to the UN, more than 2 million people are threatened with famine in the Palestinian enclave. Difficult negotiations are being carried out to extract a truce agreement from Israel and Hamas in Gaza, where death and hunger are now the daily lot of the civilian population.
Difficult to deliver help
The organization of parachuting cargo into Gaza is complex. But this is the only way to deliver humanitarian aid, as trucks are blocked by Israel at the Egyptian border. Faced with this devastating war which enters its sixth month on Thursday March 7, the United States, Israel’s main ally, is calling with increasing insistence for a truce before Ramadan, the holy month of Muslim fasting which begins the next week.
