The situation in Gaza is dramatic: criminal gangs attack vans, parachutes bring aid packages, and the UNRWA aid agency fears for its future. A meeting in Jerusalem.
Black parachutes hover over the beach in Gaza. They slowly approach the ground, where children and adults run towards them. People rush to get the white packages; if you’re lucky, you get one for yourself and your family. There are scenes of despair that show the dropping of aid supplies by US planes.
The packages contain food, and this is something that is particularly lacking in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s attacks are increasingly affecting the civilian population. According to the UN children’s agency Unicef, ten children have died in the north of the Gaza Strip from lack of water and hunger.
