Maalus,

It’s a token action. Benefit of the doubt right now, since it’s early, and you need to ramp up things like this. But then, Israel was letting trucks with aid in. All 10 of them a day. Only under pressure from other countries they stepped it up, but it was never a full-blown open border for aid.

Until we see actual, meaningful drops, including medicine to hospitals, including food, including everything that’s needed, I’ll be sceptical.

West Berlin was supplied in 1948 with crazy amounts of resources, with according to wiki, dropping 7000 tons of stuff daily (record was 12000 in a day) in total flying 250000 times. And that’s literally right after World War 2. West Berlin also had around 2 million people.

Edit: for context, if they dropped only rice which is very nutritious, they dropped like 25 tons.
