Denmark considers airdropping aid to Gaza

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen revealed that Denmark is considering airdropping aid into Gaza, despite acknowledging the method’s limitations and controversial nature among aid organizations. Pallets dropped from the air risk injuring people and aid distribution cannot be easily controlled. Anders Ladekarl of the Danish Red Cross stresses that airdrops will not solve the humanitarian crisis and that more ground border openings are necessary. The US, along with France and the UK, has utilized this method, with the US recently dropping 35,000 meals. Gaza urgently needs food, medicine, and clean water, with locals resorting to consuming animal feed and children getting sick from dirty water. Child deaths in Gazan hospitals due to malnutrition and dehydration have been reported, and the UN faces overwhelming obstacles in delivering aid.
