Hope it gets to the Palestinians.
Nice to see Spain helping and supporting Palestiniens 🙂
It’s embarrassing that western nations are enabling the genocide by not forcing through aid with a multinational military escort.
People will look back in a few years and wonder how the starvation of innocent children was enabled by so many ‘democracies’
Embarrassing
Full Article:
Spain said Friday it had air-dropped 12 tonnes of food into Gaza, which UN-backed experts say is slipping into famine.
The mission deployed 24 parachutes, each capable of carrying 500 kilos (1,100 pounds) of food, for a total of 12 tonnes — enough for 11,000 people, said Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares.
Spain also has aid waiting to cross into Gaza by road from Egypt, the minister added in a video message posted on social network X, along with a video of the operation.
“The induced famine that the people of Gaza are suffering is a disgrace to all of humanity,” Albares said.
“Israel must open all land crossings permanently so that humanitarian aid can enter on a massive scale.”
Spain joins other Western countries, including Britain and France, that have recently partnered with Middle Eastern nations to deliver humanitarian supplies by air to the Palestinian enclave.
But the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees Philippe Lazzarini warned that airdrops alone would not avert the worsening hunger.
“Airdrops are at least 100 times more costly than trucks Trucks carry twice as much aid as planes,” he wrote on X.
Although Israel has in recent days allowed more aid trucks into the Gaza Strip, aid agencies say Israeli authorities could do much more to speed up border checks and open more border posts.
Concern has escalated in the past week about the situation in the Gaza Strip after more than 21 months of war, which started after Palestinian militant group Hamas carried out a deadly attack against Israel in October 2023.
UN-backed experts warned on Tuesday that a “worst-case scenario” famine was unfolding there that could not be reversed unless humanitarian groups got immediate and unimpeded access.
For perspective: one truck can carry up to 20 tons of aid
For reference, the western powers managed to deliver up to 12 000 tons of supplies a day during the Berlin airlift.
0.1% of that, once, to a much larger population is clearly just a symbolic effort.
I don’t know if Belgium is participating, but for the past few days I’ve seen at least 10 Belgian Airforce A400s and a few Canadian Airforce C130s taking off from Brussels Airport/Melsbroek Airbase.
Sometimes even us can do something right.Â
That’s not enough. 500 trucks daily are needed, each with 20 tonnes. IDF wants to claim to the uninformed that they DID let in aid, so Palestinians couldn’t be dying of starvation, so it couldn’t be their fault
Serious question. Why isn’t every country who blames Israel bringing food through Egypt?
What a joke
Jámon is very welcome.
well that just exhausted the Spanish airforce for the coming month.
EU needs to carpet bomb Gaza with food air-drops. That’s not a big amount of money, you know?
Why do we even do this? Palestinians are not our problem, Qatar the UAE and Saudi have all the money in the world and can help.
How long till Israel “accidentally” shoots down aid flights?
