Are airdrops an efficient approach to ship humanitarian support to Gaza?

[

The USA has turn into the newest nation to ship humanitarian support to Gaza.

Amid rising fears of famine within the besieged Palestinian territory, the US Air Drive parachuted greater than 30,000 meals.

However some support businesses have mentioned army airlift shouldn’t be the reply.

As an alternative, they need Israel to open extra border crossings to permit support vehicles by way of.

Israel has been accused of limiting support distribution – regardless of warnings that individuals are dying of starvation.

The restricted quantity of support that has been offered shouldn’t be sufficient for Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinian residents.

To complicate the disaster, Israel's frequent army bombardments have made it troublesome and harmful to distribute support.

So how efficient are airdrops?
