This is what happens when humanitarian aid is denied for weeks. When food becomes not only scarce but literally gone, there is no order, there is no line, it's every person for themselves. Just looking at some of the replies to that X post reminds me:
You do realise Israel can open one of their northern crossings and deliver that humanitarian aid with trucks, but they decided not to.
And then stating that they are the victim here is absolutely and utterly ridiculous. They have deliberately created this reality. At any point in time they could have decided to prevent this from happening but nope, they did not.
Plus air drop is an extremely expensive and ineffective way to deliver humanitarian aid and is definitely NOT a long term solution, which has a more symbolic role than anything else.
