   38,000 meals? Is this a joke?

   2.2 million people in Gaza are eating on average less than once a day.

   "U.S. C-130s dropped over 38,000 meals along the coastline of Gaza"

     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”

     Best case scenario is that 1.7% of Gaza got one meal, one time, on one day. The other 98.3% can go to hell hungry. Hurrah./s/

     At least 10 children have starved to death according to hospital records, WHO says. I'm sure it's much, much more.If after 5 months of being ignored by the world, my precious child died of starvation, I highly doubt I'd take them to the hospital, every one of which in Gaza has been bombed by the IDF, many of them multiple times.
