Palestinians in Gaza have condemned the humanitarian aid being parachuted from planes as humiliating. Angry residents say the international community\u2019s approach to aid is degrading them. \u201cWe are not dogs that look up to the sky for food or fight for a piece of bread. We want the right to live with dignity like humans,\u201d said local resident Ahmed Fayez Fayyad. Another Palestinian mother, who has been unable to collect food for her family for three days, said, \u201cMy child cries with hunger, and I have to endure this humiliation? We want our fair rights, not aid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why the condemnation?<\/strong><\/p>\n Most of the aid dropped from planes ends up in the sea or in war-torn areas, which are dangerous to collect. In addition, many times the aid packages fall to the ground and are destroyed. Many Palestinians see this method as \u2018demonstrative\u2019 instead of distributing aid by land. Meanwhile, human rights groups have warned that such aid methods are causing psychological trauma to Gaza residents. A UN official said on condition of anonymity, \u2018This is not a solution. The only way to get adequate aid to the doorsteps of every family in Gaza is to lift the blockade.\u2019 In this situation, strong demands are being made from the Palestinian leadership and the international community. A teacher in Gaza said, \u2018We are not beggars. We are only asking for our rights \u2013 to live in safety and dignity. The question for the international community now is: will they just throw food, or will they also support the Palestinians\u2019 right to dignity?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Palestinians in Gaza have condemned the humanitarian aid being parachuted from planes as humiliating.
