This is dangerous misinformation: “Now there’s a ceasefire, we can get aid in.”
The humanitarian system delivers during wars because laws and customs protect aid workers & supply trucks.
Israel violated these laws repeatedly—and not one Western state acted to enforce them.

But rarely do politicians — especially those from the main donor states — issue statements that directly contradict humanitarianisms basic rationale and foundational myths.
