Episode notes
Israel's New Aid Distribution Control
- Israel has replaced local aid relief workers with its own military-run aid distribution centers.
- This limits access severely, especially for those in the north and vulnerable populations.
Ensure Safe, Dignified Aid Delivery
- Aid must be delivered safely and with dignity, preserving people's freedom of movement.
- Distribution plans should avoid displacing people and militarizing aid centers to prevent harm.
Aid Distribution Poses Risks
- The new aid system only has a few distribution points mainly in southern Gaza.
- This forces vulnerable people to travel long, dangerous distances to access essential food aid.
