”Emergency aid from the air has previously shown to entail major challenges and most aid organizations believe that it is not an optimal delivery method”, says Dousa in a written comment to TT.

The food drops come from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, but are to be coordinated by Israel. A ”solution” that Dousa is critical of.

”Deliveries from the air are difficult to control and the reception risks creating chaotic situations. I have a very hard time seeing that it will be possible to deliver enough aid with this method. Israel needs to let the UN trucks drive in aid", says the minister.
