Unanimous criticism from aid community shows this is essentially PR distracting from the US's failure to pressure Israel to allow aid.
Former US ambassador to Syria said airdrops in Gaza represented a “humiliation” of the U.S. by Israel.
“obvious absurdity that...the top American aid recipient, & our special ally in the Middle East, is blocking this same humanitarian aid...an American aid recipient that acts with impunity because there is no American pressure applied, beyond verbal pleading”
